Dressing the baby bump! Celebrities pregnant on the red carpet

A proud moment for celebrities

We love a baby bump and we especially love those celebrities who not only photograph so well in one of life's most beautiful moments, but also who dress to impress when it comes to maternity. These celebrities have the chance to flaunt and adorn their baby bumps as they wish and we take a look at some of the best moments on the red carpets...

Saoirse Ronan

Let's start with some recent ones! The TB and Film star, aged 31, is pregnant and expecting her first baby with husband Jack Lowden. We loved seeing her on the carpet at the Louis Vuitton Cruise, and some of her photos while in France are simply ethereal!

Rooney Mara

Here is Rooney Mara at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival when she was expecting her second child with Joaquin Phoenix. Gone are the days when women might have tried to hide their growing bellies. Today, motherhood is a symbol of female empowerment, proudly showcased in all its beautiful glory on the red carpet.

Vanessa Kirby

Ok, not quite the red carpet but it was fabulous seeing 'Fantastic Four' Vanessa Kirby out and about in July 2025, highlighting her bump in a terrific blue dress. Anyone who can sport a baby bump and high heels like that deserves to be on the list!
