Barbara Palvin Is Redefining Maternity Style in Real Time
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 Film Festival 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 ten 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 her 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 a 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.
