In discovering a sudden affinity for billowing floral-print maternity dresses, Nicole Kidman is doing little to quell growing speculation that she is expecting her first natural child.
The Oscar-winning actress is most often pictured wearing clothes which cling to her, making the most of the honed tummy she spends hours in the gym perfecting.
Yet the attire was noticably more comfortable as she stepped out yesterday for lunch with husband of 18-months, the country singer Keith Urban, in her home city of Sydney.

Her dress even appeared to balloon out markedly below a very high waist band.
Earlier this week, this newspaper revealed that the actress had told both of their sets of relatives over the Christmas break that she was indeed with child.
Since that time further details have emerged about the pregnancy.
Friends have told the Mail how Miss Kidman hopes to give birth at a private hospital in Sydney, and is keen to have the child raised as much as possible in Australia, to retain a "national identity".
Both Kidman and Urban were raised in Australia.

"Nicole and Keith are very proud of their Australian heritage and are determined to bring up their first child in Australia.
"They both feel that Australia offers better healthcare and education than elsewhere.
"Its an important issue as they don't want their child to be sheltered in an elitist environment, they want their firstborn to be brought up as a normal Aussie kid.
"They are also keen to ensure their child has a supportive family infrastructure.
"They would prefer their relatives to have a hand in the raising of their children, rather than rely completely on hired help," said a source.
Miss Kidman has also been keeping to a strict diet to give the child, which is expected to arrive late in the summer, the best possible chances of survival.
Shortly after her 2001 split from Tom Cruise, with whom she adopted two children Isabella, 14, and twelve-year-old Conor, she revealed that she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during the marriage.
