Adwoa Aboah has a surprise in store for Monday’s Met Gala as she debuted her baby bump at the New York event.
The Top Boy star, 31, showed off the blossoming bump in a quirky ensemble for the glitzy fashion night, making for a very glitzy pregnancy reveal.
The British model rocked a red ruffled crop top while flashing a red sequinned bra underneath.
She team her show-stopping look with bizarre maxi puffed skirt, and finished off with chic matching stiletto.
The beauty posed with her hands inside the pocket, displaying the burgeoning baby bump as she strutted the Met’s star-studded red carpet.
Adwoa is in currently in a relationship with U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley, 33, whom she’s been dating since last year.
The couple often keep their romance low-key, sharing the odd cosy snaps of one another on birthdays and just special occasions.
Chatting to PORTER last year, she discussed conquering the fashion world.
Speaking on the world of modeling, the Netflix star said: ‘You get to a stage in your career where you no longer do group shoots or covers.’
‘You do campaigns and editorial by yourself. It becomes a very solitary kind of job and experience. And so [on set], I loved that I was getting to be with people all the time.’
She openly discussed that rejection is part of the job: ‘I think I have about 10 million layers of skin, because of having to do a lot of self-work very early in my twenties.
‘Don’t get me wrong; there were a few parts this year that I got close to that I really wanted. I’m learning each time. I just feel like something’s coming. I don’t know when it’s coming, but I have full belief.’
Adwoa has been open about her problems with drink and drugs, previously saying she tried marijuana at the age of 14 before moving on to harder drugs.
Last year, she revealed she was ‘pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together’ while in a treatment facility for her drug addiction.
The socialite and former front cover star of Vogue added that she is ‘lucky’ to be sober and go to treatment as it forced her to confront herself and her addiction issues.
Speaking on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast for World Mental Health Day, she said: ‘I was lucky enough to go to treatment, so I met a mad variety of people there who’d been through all sorts of different things.
‘It kicks it out of you when you are forced to really confront yourself. I’m actually quite lucky. A lot of sober people say that. I think I’m quite lucky that I was pushed to deal with it now.’
‘Pushed to pick apart any judgments I had towards other people. Pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together so that I could look at things a bit differently.
‘Even though it was pretty f***ing s**t, I’m pretty lucky to be quite honest that I’ve been given this chance to do things differently and to look at situations in a more empathetic way, actually.’
The model, who is often seen on the front row of major fashion shows, has been open about her problems with drink and drugs – back in 2016 she candidly spoke about first trying marijuana at the age of 14 after getting drunk at a house party.
From then on, she said she tried cocaine and ketamine, with the latter being the drug which ‘really got’ her.
Using her platform to raise awareness for Mental Health Week, she added: ‘I’ve resigned myself to the fact that life is just so messy and one’s mental health journey couldn’t be further from linear.
‘So the fact is it’s just ebbs and flows and we find ways of dealing with things and then we’re confronted with another thing, whether it be grief or identity or love or sex, it’s endless.
‘I think because our stories change and evolve, and we grow so our perspective on things changes, and it’s so mad that you can look at a situation that happened a few years ago and then with some age and wisdom you suddenly reframe it and you’re like, “Okay maybe it was my fault”.
‘Or maybe there are different ways that we can look at things, I think that comes with age definitely. I’ve started really putting into place those boundaries and knowing what’s good for me and what is not good for me.’
