Thinking of signing her up early? Holly Madison shows off her growing baby bump at Miss Universe pageant

She's said it's been a challenge to feel sexy while pregnant but Holly Madison certainly rose to the occasion on Wednesday night.
The former Playboy model showed off her growing baby bump on the red carpet at the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas and looked stunning in a blue gown.
The 32-year-old blonde, who is expecting her first child next year, joined a host of stars at the event as beauty queens from 89 countries prepared to compete for the crown.

Holly's patterned number was the perfect compliment to her growing shape, with a draping neckline and back cut-out adding just a touch of sexiness to her ensemble without going over the top.
She wore her hair in curls swept behind her shoulders and drop earrings that added a bit of light near her face.
Holding her stomach with neatly manicured red nails, she smiled for photographers and proudly showed off her frame.

 
The former Girls Next Door star, who is expecting a baby girl with partner Pasquale Rotella, recently revealed she is still getting used to her new shape.
She toldIn Touch magazine: ''Feeling sexy is a real challenge for me because I have this basketball on my stomach. It’s weird!' she says. 'I’m just getting used to this whole new body. It can be very awkward.'
Holly was joined on the red carpet by the evening's co-hosts Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic, who started the evening in a classic black gown with a sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice.

Miss Universe 2011, Leila Lopes of Angola, said she expected this night to be the worst part of her year. She offered some advice to the women vying for her crown.
'Be calm and smile,' she said. 'Smiling helps a lot. Even though they are not relaxed, the judges will think that they are.'
The group of contestants from six continents was cut to 16 soon after the start of the show based on preliminary competitions.
Miss USA Olivia Culpo was one of those who advanced to the finals. The 20-year-old from Cranston, Rhode Island, is a sophomore at Boston University and a self-described 'cellist-nerd.' She was the first Miss USA winner from Rhode Island when she took the national crown in Las Vegas in June.
Organisers had considered holding the contest in the popular Dominican Republic tourist city of Punta Cana, but Miss Universe Organization President Paula Shugart said that country's financial crisis proved to be too much of an obstacle.

The diverse group of contestants spent the past two weeks in Las Vegas, where they posed in hardhats at a hotel groundbreaking, took a painting lesson, and pranked hotel guests by hiding in their rooms.
'I've seen them and they are absolutely gorgeous,' said Trump. 'They're very nervous and they should be. It's a billion people (watching).'
On the eve of the pageant, the organisation announced it had won a defamation suit against a woman who claimed this year's Miss USA contest, also owned by Trump, was fixed.
The winner of the Miss USA crown goes on to represent her country in the Miss Universe contest.
Contestants cannot have been married or have children. They must be younger than 27 and older than 18 by Feb. 1 of the competition year.
The pageant started as a local revue in Long Beach, California, organised by Catalina Swimwear. It is not affiliated with the Miss America pageant.
