Serena Williams, Karlie Kloss debut their baby bumps at Met Gala 2023

The Met Gala this year saw celebrities from across the professional spectrum pay tribute to fashion visionary Karl Lagerfeld in accordance with the Met Gala theme honouring the late designer. An added element of surprise was the baby bumps which made their debut this year at the Met. Both Selena Williams and Karlie Kloss marked their presence at the big banner event, with evident bumps peeking through their svelte tributes.

Serena Williams walked the Met red carpet in a velvet black mermaid cut gown with a crisp white tulle hem and sheer black sleeves. The more exciting aspect of Serena Williams' all-out look, however, was her evident baby bump, well-cradled in her figure-hugging ensemble. Serena completed her look with heaped strings of messy pearls and a rhinestone encrusted headband. The ace athlete walked with husband Alexis Ohanian, who complimented Serena's ode to Karl Lagerfeld in a crisp black conventional suit.

Karlie Kloss debuts second baby bump at Met

Model Karlie Kloss also walked the Met red carpet with baby number two on board. The model's appearance at the Met Gala this year was essentially her official announcement of the good news. Karlie Kloss debuted her bump with husband Joshua Kushner. Kushner kept it simple in a conventional black tuxedo. Kloss' look for the night married comfort with style in a fuss-free skin-tight black skivvy silhouette with a circular slinky train at the back. The expecting mother matched the string of pearls around her neck with a matching embellishment around her evident baby bump.
