Vanessa Kirby has officially confirmed she is expecting her first child, debuting her baby bump in breathtaking fashion during the Mexico City premiere of Fantastic Four: First Steps. The British actress, best known for portraying Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown, cradled her growing belly in a shimmering blue-green halter gown as she posed on the red carpet.
The 36-year-old star looked radiant as she smiled for cameras and later shared behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram, writing: “Mexico, we loved you! Gracias – we had the best time. I learnt so much from Sue Storm about being a first-time mother in the film. Very grateful and surreal to be on this journey with her, as I’m now about to become one myself.”
Fans flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages. One wrote: “Mother, literally and figuratively,” while another added, “You’re going to be a fantastic mum – this feels like full circle after Pieces of a Woman.”
Vanessa’s real-life pregnancy aligns closely with her on-screen role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she plays Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman—who is also pregnant in the upcoming Fantastic Four film, set for release in July 2025.
Her fiancé, American lacrosse star Paul Rabil, accompanied her on the trip. The couple confirmed their engagement earlier this year after first going public with their relationship in November 2023.
From royalty to superheroics, Vanessa’s star continues to rise—both on screen and in real life.
