Vanessa Kirby wholeheartedly agrees with Rihanna: maternity style looks best when sheer. Today in Australia, the actor continued her streak of pregnancy fashion with yet another see-through number that perfectly framed her growing baby bump.
Kirby attended the Sydney premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in a black stretch dress from Balmain. The floor-length piece featured a mock neck collar, dramatic bell sleeves, and a simple column skirt. However, the emphasis lay in the sheer portion at the actor’s midsection: the detail not only emphasized her pregnancy bump but also added a touch of intrigue to the otherwise simple design. Kirby, working with stylist Andrew Mukamal, kept the styling simple, featuring gold and silver earrings and stacks of metallic rings on both hands.
Kirby, who is expecting her first child with partner Paul Rabil, pulled out all the stops for her latest press tour. She walked the red carpet in a variety of designs, both custom-made and not, but, like many expectant mothers (including Rihanna), sheer fabrics were also a staple of her maternity attire.
Earlier this month, Kirby walked the red carpet in Berlin, Germany, wearing another revealing black gown. The Alaïa piece featured a bondage-style harness and hip-length cutouts along its fitted skirt. Of course, the underdress was completely sheer to reveal Kirby’s baby bump. This look closely resembled a similar Alaïa gown Rihanna wore to the 2023 Oscars during her second pregnancy.
Of course, Kirby hasn’t been all transparency during her Fantastic Four promotional tour. She’s worn shimmering, themed outfits by Schiaparelli, a masterfully draped gown from Sarah Burton’s debut Givenchy collection, and body-hugging looks by Altuzarra and Magda Butrym. Most recently, Kirby donned an artful outfit from Jonathan Anderson’s latest Loewe collection for the film’s London premiere: a draped midi dress with beaded fringe, a true fashion favorite.
