Suki’s Sparkling Surprise: Model Confirm Pregnancy in Sequin Suit at Music Festival
Models are often leading the fashion vanguard, using their keen fashion sense to make bold style statements. But Suki Waterhouse’s dazzling ensemble at a recent music festival did more than inspire envy or admiration – it also let the world in on some very happy personal news.
Attending the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City this weekend, the 31-year-old British model and actress opted for a sparkly jumpsuit that no doubt captured the playful exuberance of the event. But as she told the adoring crowd, the eye-catching onesie served another purpose. Gesturing to her belly, Suki laughingly shared that she had chosen something “particularly sparkly” in hopes it would distract from “something else that’s going on”. Spoiler alert: her sequin-covered bump was still visible! While she did not explicitly use the p-word, the crowd’s rapturous cheers made it clear they understood the significance of her announcement.
Of course, this is far from the first time the multi-talented star has used fashion to make a statement. Back in 2018, Suki turned heads at the premiere of Assassination Nation in a daringly unbuttoned suit, the menswear-inspired look still feminine with its metallic sheen. Arriving at the Fashion Awards that same year, she seemed to channel 1960s icon Twiggy in a mod minidress and matching retro hairstyle.
Indeed, Suki has demonstrated remarkable range when it comes to aesthetics. She can seamlessly morph from disco queen (take the floral silver number with matching cape she wore in 2019) to boho goddess (peep the sheer, embroidered gown from Stéphane Rolland) to punk princess (witness her black lace and leather moment last year). Though her personal style remains eclectic, she always perfectly encapsulates both the mood and era of her chosen ensemble.
Attuned as she clearly is to fashion’s power for visual self-expression, Suki was bound to innovate when it came time for The Announcement. Rather than a tabloid tell-all or teary televised interview, she chose a joyful, communal setting to subtly share her happy news. The fact that she let her sequins do the talking feels wonderfully in step with Suki’s cheeky personality. Yet her radiant smile – and the crowd’s rapturous cheers – conveyed the profound blessedness of the moment.
While Suki herself has yet to publicly confirm a pregnancy, she and partner Robert Pattinson sparked relationship rumors as early as 2018. The famously private pair reached a turning point last autumn when they made a rare red carpet appearance together at the 2022 GO Campaign Gala. Opting for a black lace gown layered over a nude bodysuit, Suki was the epitome of old Hollywood glamour. Set against Robert’s classic tuxedo, the duo were stylishness incarnate.
Though Suki’s maternity fashion choices have only just begun, her announcement look offers enticing hints of her pregnancy style. While some expectant stars choose billowing garments to hide their changing form, Suki’s skintight jumpsuit lovingly embraced her new curves. The future promises more delightfully unconventional looks from the soon-to-be mum. Something tells us Suki will be serving up equal parts playful, punkish and sublime maternity realness.
One thing is certain – Suki Waterhouse has never been one to follow trends. She forges her own fashion path, with creativity, whimsy and the occasional sparkle. Here’s hoping her pregnancy journey – and post-baby style – will be equally distinctive
