Vanessa Kirby turned heads in New York City as she proudly showcased her baby bump in a chic blue midi dress while promoting Fantastic Four: First Steps. The 37-year-old actress, best known for her role as Princess Margaret in The Crown, looked radiant as she arrived at the Live with Kelly and Mark show on Wednesday.
Wearing a fitted short-sleeved dress with a daring thigh-high split, Vanessa completed her look with metallic blue heels and sleek black sunglasses. Her wavy blonde hair framed her glowing face as she smiled and waved to fans.
Vanessa is expecting her first child with American lacrosse star Paul Rabil, 39, and the couple are reportedly engaged. The pair first sparked dating rumours in 2022 and made their relationship public on Instagram in late 2023. Paul previously wrote, “From the very minute we first met in Des Moines… life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,” in a heartfelt post.
Despite being very private, the couple has been seen together frequently since 2022. Paul, co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League, was previously married to athlete Kelly Berger and dated actress Eiza Gonzalez.
Vanessa, meanwhile, has also been linked to The World To Come co-star Christopher Abbott and actor Callum Turner in past years.
Currently on a promotional tour for Fantastic Four, Vanessa has embraced her pregnancy glow while keeping her red carpet style impeccable. The upcoming film, which reboots Marvel’s iconic superhero team, has already generated buzz online. Fans praised the recently released trailer, with many saying the period setting feels as fresh and exciting as Captain America: The First Avenger.
Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released across Australia on July 24, with global premieres expected soon.
