Ellie Goulding and Sienna Miller turned the 2025 Fashion Awards into a double baby reveal on Monday night, as the pair proudly debuted their growing bumps on the blue carpet at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The two A-listers, who arrived separately but ended up sharing the spotlight, chose the star-studded red carpet as the moment to quietly confirm what fans had been whispering about for weeks: both are pregnant again, and both are expecting with much-younger beaus.
Ellie, 38, is set to welcome her first child with 28-year-old actor Beau Minniear, her boyfriend of around six months. The Love Me Like You Do singer already has a four-year-old son, Arthur, with her ex-husband, art dealer Caspar Jopling, whom she split from early last year after five years of marriage.
Stepping out in one of the boldest looks of the night, Ellie bared her bump in a tiny black crop top and matching culottes, letting her pregnancy take centre stage as she posed for the cameras inside the iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Her romance with Beau only became public in September, but insiders say the relationship has moved quickly. A source previously told the Daily Mail that “it’s still early days, but Ellie and Beau are very much in love, he’s a real romantic, and they’re very sweet together. It’s really lovely to watch, she’s very happy.”
Ellie has already woven Beau into her professional life too, casting him in the raunchy music video for her comeback single, Destiny. Speaking about the track, she admitted recording it felt like emotional therapy. Ellie said the song was “like a catharsis, it made me feel so much better – like the prize was me all along.”
She added that in the past she had poured everything into the men in her life, but Destiny marked a turning point. Instead of chasing someone else’s approval, she described the song as her “first feeling of straight-up escape and empowerment.” Ellie explained that adding a choir and sweeping strings helped the music swell into “a triumphant moment of freedom, like jumping off a cliff,” and said the song “sounds like surrender… like what will be will be and accepting it” – a sentiment that now feels perfectly in tune with her surprise baby joy.
On the same blue carpet, Sienna Miller, 43, staged her own show-stopping reveal. The Anatomy Of A Scandal star nearly stole the night in a sheer lilac lace dress that left her baby bump on full display. Sienna is expecting her second child with her boyfriend of four years, actor Oli Green. The couple already share a child born in 2023, while Sienna also has a daughter from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Tom Sturridge.
The glowing mum-to-be was joined at the ceremony by Oli, with the pair beaming as they posed together for photographs. Their affectionate display underlined how settled Sienna seems in this new chapter, balancing motherhood with a thriving career and a steady relationship.
Having revealed her pregnancy, Sienna was warmly congratulated on the carpet by Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, who was enjoying a rare date night with his wife Melanie Hamrick. The rock legend’s appearance added another layer of star power to a night already crammed with A-list moments.
The Fashion Awards, hosted this year by actor Colman Domingo – who nodded to the event’s British roots in a sleek Burberry look – are considered one of the biggest nights in the style calendar, celebrating giants and rising stars of the global fashion industry. But this year, it was two bare baby bumps that ended up defining the night.
Around Ellie and Sienna, the blue carpet was a rolling parade of headline-worthy outfits. Billie Piper channelled gothic glamour in a black and silver gown that hugged her curves, while Ashley Graham lit up the hall in a bold yellow dress. Maya Jama shimmered in a plunging sequinned black number, and Rita Ora surprised fans by opting for a relatively simple white gown with a deep neckline – a far cry from her more experimental Fashion Awards looks in previous years.
Kylie Minogue floated down the carpet in a playful white ruffled dress, Raye evoked Old Hollywood in pale grey satin dripping with diamantes, and supermodel Iman made a dramatic debut at the event in a yellow and blue floral satin gown, honouring her late husband David Bowie with her signature poise.
On the British TV front, Amanda Holden turned heads – and flashed a hint of her bottom – in a daring black cut-out gown, while her daughter Lexi confirmed she’s following firmly in her mum’s modelling footsteps in a sheer-skirted black dress. Former Love Island stars like Olivia Attwood, Tasha Ghouri, Sam Faiers and Vicky Pattison also made the most of the opportunity to prove their fashion credentials in dramatic gowns and figure-hugging looks.
Yet for all the feathers, sequins and plunging necklines, the image that will linger from the 2025 Fashion Awards is a softer one: Ellie Goulding and Sienna Miller, stepping into the next chapter of their lives, smiling as they cradle their bumps with the men they love at their side. On a night dedicated to fashion, it was two very modern love stories – and two surprise babies – that ended up stealing the show.
