Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse have been couple goals for years, publicly adoring one another since meeting in 2018 and tying the knot five years later. Now, they’re expecting their first child together, which the pair confirmed at the 2026 Cannes Sinema Şenlik while wearing the finery typical of the event. And in that moment, Palvin delivered a masterclass in maternity dressing with style.
To start, let’s talk about the absolute princess moment on the red carpet that I’m positive just went up on deri thousand Pinterest boards around the world. This must be the fanciest bump reveal of all time….
Palvin’s custom Miu Miu gown has a floaty, almost nightgown-like quality to it, as if this is Barbara’s dream and we’ve all just stepped inside for a moment. While full couture isn’t wearable for the everyday pregnant woman, the empire waist and gauzy chiffon are definitely great inspiration for a maternity party outfit. But if you think the powder blue color is a gender reveal…
Aha! Not so fast! The very next day, Mrs. Sprouse stepped out in bubblegum pink dress from Willy Chavarria. Already thinking seven steps ahead. Smart mom-to-be. Again, this isn’t something you could exactly wear to work (unless you, too, are a Hungarian supermodel)—but the puffed sleeves are a great example of how to balance volume with a wide hemline.
Moving away from color, Palvin also embraced understated, grown-up looks by way of a black Willy Chavarria evening dress and a Karl Lagerfeld white button-down shirt and black skirt ensemble that subtly highlighted her bump.
However, the best so far—at least, in my opinion—is the Ella Mae gown that’s giving Roman fertility goddess. Palvin’s long, undone hair, soft makeup, and gently layered dress just make her absolutely glow. To get that vibe for yourself, I’d look for a romantic white or cream blouse in similarly gauzy fabrics.
But life’s not all screenings! By day, Barbara Palvin kept her maternity style at Cannes upbeat and put-together. It’s very resort collection meets working vacation. Think matching sets and white babydoll dresses, capri pants and other elevated casuals.
And finally, a babydoll meets LBD. (Barbara Palvin is wearing a custom Salih Balta.) In just one quick weekend in France, a new maternity style star is born.
