Pregnant Kristen Bell keeps her growing bump under cover in leather jacket on cold LA day

She won't be able to wear her favourite leather jacket for much longer.
So with Los Angeles experiencing an unseasonably cold spell, pregnant Kristen Bell is taking the opportunity to make the most of her winter woolies.
The expectant mum dashed into an Aaron Brothers art and framing store in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
As usual, the 32-year-old House of Lies star was fashionably chic, wearing a loose T-shirt over tight jeans, as well as a snugly fitting short-cropped jacket.

She had a knit cap pulled down low over her blonde head to her brow, and trudged along in rugged flat boots that were unlaced at the ankles.
Kristen and her fiance Dax Shepard, 37, expect their baby to be born next year and are thrilled.
It was Dax who spilled the baby news in the first place, in a recent episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Kristen followed up by taking to Twitter with an announcement of her own.

'Obama won the election and I am getting fatter by the day,' Kristen tweeted last month. 'America has never been luckier.'
The couple, who starred in the movie Hit and Run together, have been engaged during three of their four years together but have vowed to wed only until it is legal for everyone to do so.

Nevertheless, they are happily anticipating the sound of little feet running around.
'They’re so excited - they’re both ecstatic,' a friend told People magazine. 'They can’t wait to become parents.'
'Kristen had a little bit of morning sickness early on but she just started shooting the second season of House of Lies and is feeling great now.'
