If you had the choice, you’d probably want your existence to be hard-launched at the Met Gala. It would just be kind of chic. Which is maybe why so many celebs choose the first Monday in May to debut their pregnancies. Indeed, while Rihanna has become an absolute pro at showcasing her bump on fashion’s most famous red carpet, she’s not the only one. Over the years, everyone from Sophie Turner to Cardi B have shown up in full blown maternity style at the Met Gala—sometimes not once, but twice, as was the case with model Karlie Kloss and tennis star Serena Williams.

Now that everyone’s flights have left JFK airport and the blue daffodilled carpet of the Met Gala 2025 has been rolled up and stashed away, it’s a good opportunity to reminisce over prior years. To that end, here’s every celebrity baby bump to steal the spotlight at the Met Gala, ever, from this year all the way back to 2007, when Salma Hayek stepped out in a velvet Balenciaga dress ahead of the birth of her first child.
