Lashana Lynch announced that she is pregnant with her first child as she debuted her baby bump at The Day Of The Jackal premiere in New York City on Thursday.
The 36-year-old Marvels actress — who took on a leading role in the upcoming British drama series — shared her big moment as she joined some of her costars on the red carpet, including Eddie Redmayne and Ursula Corbero.
Lynch is expecting baby number one with partner, Zackary Momoh, although an exact due date has yet to be revealed.
She turned heads wearing a sleeveless, Ottolinger dress that had a shirt and tie image depicted on the upper portion.
The ensemble also contained cheetah-print details and clung to her frame as she stopped by the screening at the Walter Reade Theater.
Lashana opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and added a pair of small, gold earrings and a few rings on each of her hands.
The beauty’s makeup was classically done, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a smoky shadow around her eyes.
For a finishing touch, the No Time To Die actress also added a ɴuᴅᴇ-colored, glossy tint to her lips.
Lynch excitedly showed off her growing baby bump in the fashionable dress as she arrived to the venue – with her pregnancy news coming as a surprise to Eddie Redmayne.
During an interview with Vogue on Thursday, the mother-to-be opened up about her red carpet look and explained, ‘I wanted to keep the look really simple, poignant and effective.’
‘I feel comfortable and at ease, but also in charge of myself,’ the actress further told the outlet.
‘Some red carpet gowns, although beautiful and stunning, feel like you’re putting on a different part of yourself, whereas here I feel like I’m celebrating the female figure.’
Lashana added, ‘For every premiere, you want to make sure you’re putting your best self forward. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that what you come with naturally is so beautiful and deserves to be celebrated in its own right.’
