Expectant celebrity moms adorned their baby bumps at this year’s Met Gala, adding a touch of glamour to the event.

One of the most memorable moments of the night came when tennis star Serena Williams and model Karlie Kloss publicly announced their pregnancies on the cream, red, and blue carpet.

The theme for the evening, hosted at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, was “In honour of Karl”, inspiring celebrities to channel the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

The retired tennis player, Serena Williams, donned a black mermaid gown with silver edging designed by Gucci. She accessorized with multiple strings of pearls around her neck and a layered pearl headband.

American model Kloss, 30, also revealed that she is expecting her second child with businessman husband Joshua Kushner.

Model Karlie Kloss, dressed in a Loewe outfit designed by Northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson, wore a black gown featuring Lagerfeld’s signature strings of pearls, with a modern, surrealist twist to the ensemble.

“I’m so happy, this is the first time I’m sharing my news, so it’s very special,” she told Vogue. She continued: “I was pregnant last time during the pandemic so I didn’t leave my sweatpants. So this is the first time I’m on a red carpet pregnant and it’s a super special moment, also kind of vulnerable – so I don’t know how to style a belly. I can’t imagine a more special moment.”

Tapping into the red-carpet maternity fashion trend for sleek, skintight designs, Kloss’ dress had long sleeves and a tight silhouette to show off her growing bump.
