The 2022 Cannes Film Festival is well under way in France, and the schedule for May 18 included the world premiere of Top Gun: Maverick (starring action star Tom Cruise). On the red carpet, celebrities like Jennifer Connelly, Viola Davis, and Eva Longoria all made stylish cameos—but it was supermodel Adriana Lima who truly shut it down.
Attending with her boyfriend, Andre Lemmers, Lima delivered a glamorous maternity moment that was all about accentuating her growing baby bump. (This will be Lima’s third child, and her first with Lemmers.)
Lima wore a black gown designed by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing for the occasion. The floor-length silhouette’s main feature was a cutout at the stomach, drawing the eye to Lima’s baby bump. It’s a stylistic choice that all the cool moms are doing now, led by Rihanna. During her pregnancy, the Barbados-born superstar has been delivering many stellar maternity moments that showcase her bump, making the case that pregnancy style does not have to mean sacrificing designer labels or fashion-forward shapes.
By bringing that same energy to Cannes, Lima is firmly on board with the sentiment—she proved a maternity look can be comfortable, practical, and as glamorous as ever. She and Lemmers get bonus points for lovingly cradling her bump on the carpet for the paparazzi as well. It was an adorable family-to-be moment.
