Pregnancy announcements do not always happen with a press release. Sometimes, they happen on the red carpet, framed by flashing cameras and quiet confidence. At this year’s Golden Globes, a few celebrities chose the awards show as the moment to step out and visibly embrace pregnancy.
Below are the stars who showed off their baby bumps this year, along with how the Golden Globes has long been a space for similar moments.
Wunmi Mosaku’s intentional reveal
Wunmi Mosaku chose the 2026 Golden Globes to publicly share her pregnancy after keeping the news private. She has spoken about wanting to protect the moment while still showing up fully for awards season. The red carpet became a meaningful setting rather than a formal announcement.

She wore a flowing yellow gown that allowed her bump to be visible without feeling staged. The loose silhouette and soft drape made the look feel comfortable, grounded, and confident. A similar approach works well with a floor-length dress in a lightweight fabric that moves easily and does not cling to the body.
Hailee Steinfeld’s first red carpet since her announcement
Hailee Steinfeld stepped onto the Golden Globes red carpet weeks after announcing her pregnancy with husband Josh Allen. The couple shared the news through a personal video rather than a public statement, keeping the focus on privacy. The awards show marked her first major public appearance since then.

She chose a fitted pink gown that highlighted her baby bump while still feeling understated. The clean lines and simple styling kept the look balanced and modern. A similar look can be recreated with a stretch gown that follows the body’s shape and is paired with minimal accessories to keep the focus on fit.
Looking back at past baby bump moments
This year’s appearances fit into a long tradition at the Golden Globes. Kristen Bell once walked the carpet while pregnant with her eldest child, openly sharing the moment with her husband by her side. Kate Mara, by contrast, attended the ceremony years later while keeping her pregnancy mostly under wraps.

Other past appearances include Natalie Portman, Gal Gadot, Eva Longoria, and Drew Barrymore, each choosing a different way to approach maternity style. Some leaned into fitted gowns, while others opted for looser shapes. Together, they show there is no single way to dress for pregnancy on a red carpet.
What these looks get right
Across both this year and past ceremonies, the common thread is intention. Each outfit felt chosen with comfort, body changes, and personal style in mind. None of the looks relied on distraction or heavy embellishment to make an impact.
If you are dressing for a special event while pregnant, the takeaway is simple. Focus on fit, fabric, and how the outfit feels when you move and sit. Whether you prefer a flowing gown or a more fitted shape, the right choice is the one that lets you show up fully as yourself.
A shift toward visibility
Seeing pregnancy represented openly at major events matters. It reflects a shift toward letting women exist publicly without hiding life changes. The 2026 Golden Globes offered a clear example of that progress.
These appearances were not about making announcements louder than necessary. They were about showing up, celebrating work, and allowing pregnancy to be part of the picture. For many viewers, that balance is what made these moments resonate.
