Lashana Lynch Radiates as She Debuts Her Baby Bump in a Stunningly ‘Comfortable’ Red Carpet Look
Lashana Lynch made her first public appearance showing off her baby bump at The Day of the Jackal premiere. The 36-year-old actress dazzled onlookers in a form-fitting maxi dress at the glamorous event in New York on Thursday night. Although she isn’t giving away her due date, Lynch did divulge some fashion details.
Lynch glowed as she posed alongside her husband, Zachary Momoh, at the event. She wore a stylish, comfortable Ottolinger dress. The piece featured a shirt-and-tie print on the top half and animal-print details on the bottom. The British actress, currently starring as Bianca in the Peacock/Sky Atlantic drama The Day of the Jackal, completed her look with smokey eye makeup and natural hair.
Lynch explained her style selection to Vogue, “I feel comfortable and at ease, but also in charge of myself. Some red carpet gowns, although beautiful and stunning, feel like you’re putting on a different part of yourself, whereas here I feel like I’m celebrating the female figure.” To emphasize her growing baby bump, the No Time to Die actor placed her hands on her thigh, showing it off with pride.
The release of the political thriller represents a significant moment for Lashana Lynch, both in her career and personal development. As a co-executive producer, she focused on enhancing women’s representation on screen, aligning this with her bold fashion choices. The Woman King star told Vogue, “I have spent many years trying to figure out what I’m trying to represent on the carpet every single time I release a project. I’ve played a lot with colours and textures and lengths and volume. And I’m really grateful for those moments because they’ve helped me grow as a woman.
Lynch continued, “The roles that I’m playing right now are very much breaking through the glass ceiling. And I think fashion should also reflect that, so that’s what this dress is doing.” The Marvel actor receives support from her co-stars Eddie Redmayne and Úrsula Corberó. Together, the three actors star in The Day of the Jackal, an upcoming British television series. Adapted from Frederick Forsyth’s titular novel, the drama follows a ruthless British assassin called the “Jackal” (Redmayne). Lynch stars as the intelligence officer tasked with capturing him.
Lynch recently starred in Bob Marley: One Love, the bio-drama based on reggae singer Bob Marley’ life. She portrayed Bob’s widow, Rita Marley. As Lynch expands her acting resume, her husband Zachary Momoh has done the same via the theater and television. The 36-year-old has starred in several TV, including Doctors, Death in Paradise, and The Nevers.
