It was one of the standout trends to emerge in 2025, and now celebrities look to be carrying the overt display of baby bumps into the new year.
Gone are the days where subtle concealment was the order of the day; celebrities have begun to embrace the bump, redefining maternity wear as an extension of personal style, rather than something to disguise.
Now, two TV co-stars are the latest to jump on this welcome trend, with a tandem display of their baby bumps at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards stealing the show.
Paradise stars Krys Marshall, 36 and Nicole Brydon Bloom, 31, both graced the carpet with their little plus-ones in tow – and each looked utterly ethereal while doing so.
Marshall was in attendance to celebrate the show’s nomination for the coveted Best Drama Series award, and took advantage of the opportunity to debut her bump in spectacular fashion.
The star donned a turtleneck champagne gown with subtle shimmer, featuring a skirt gathered just below the belly to accentuate her bub-to-be.
Pointed mules with floral applique and David Yurman Jewellery proved the cherry on top of the elegant ensemble.

This will be Marshall’s second child with husband Ted Dolan, having welcomed her first in 2023.
Meanwhile Bloom, the wife of Fallout actor Justin Theroux, was glowing both literally and figuratively in a sparkling, iridescent number – in the the same exact shade of champagne as her co-star.
She styled the floor-grazing, spaghetti-strap slip with minimal jewellery, opting only for statement earrings to complete the look.
It was confirmed in December that Brydon Bloom and Theroux, 54, were expecting their first child together, with the couple jetting off on a “babymoon” to Mexico soon after.

The actress first debuted her bump at the premiere for Fallout season 2 last month., which she attended in support of her husband.
Paradise is up for two awards this year, securing nominations in the Best Drama Series category, as well as Best Actor in a Drama Series for Sterling K. Brown.
But the series has some tough competition; The Pitt, Alien: Earth, The Diplomat, Pluribus, Severance and Task are also in the running for the the coveted award.
Paradise follows the secret service agent tasked with investigating the assassination of the US president – but all is not as it seems. The Utopian society in which they live is concealing dark secrets.
