Elsa Pataky, Kerry Washington and Olivia Wilde all looked like they were ready to pop on the red carpet

What was the must-have accessory on the Oscars red carpet? A glammed-up baby bump!

Three pregnant celebrities showcased their beautiful bellies at the star-studded awards show this year - and each mum-to-be rocked a gorgeous pregnancy glow.

Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky - who's pregnant with baby no. 2 and 3 (twins!) - flaunted her sizeable bump in a beaded Elie Saab gown.

Scandal star Kerry Washington pulled another sartorial success out of the baby bag, rocking an elegant, strapless Jason Wu gown.

And Olivia Wilde, accompanied by fiancé Jason Sudeikis, chose an classic LBMD (little black maternity dress) for the black-tie affair. The high-neck Maison Valentino gown skimmed gracefully over her growing bump.

Let's hope these lovely ladies each got a foot massage once they finally kicked off those high heels...
