Barbara Palvin Nails Sporty Maternity Style at a World Cup Party

Reported by Vogue.

It was a big weekend for sports, celebrities, and — unexpectedly — maternity fashion. A star-studded World Cup watch party for Team USA vs. Paraguay at Alba in Los Angeles drew Leonardo DiCaprio, Halle Berry, Vittoria Ceretti, Becky G, and the couple quietly becoming one of the more stylish duos of the summer: Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin. According to Vogue, Team USA won the match. Palvin won the outfit.

The Hungarian model, visibly pregnant, arrived in a slinky black maxi skirt and a zipped-up jacket left open at the hem to let her baby bump breathe — a move that reads less "maternity section" and more Rihanna-at-the-Super Bowl. She accessorized with a Raising Cane's duffel bag (the fast-food chain hosted the event) dressed up with a stars-and-stripes scarf knotted onto the handle. Sprouse matched her in head-to-toe black, which is exactly the right thing to do when your partner is the one worth photographing.

From Cannes to the Watch Party

Palvin has been quietly rewriting what pregnancy style looks like since she announced her pregnancy at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival last month. On the red carpet steps she wore flowing, romantic gowns that leaned into her bump rather than concealing it — glamorous, intentional, paparazzi-ready. Now, less than a month later, she's pivoted to sporty-casual with the same ease. That's the range.

What makes it work isn't the specific pieces — it's the refusal to dress defensively. No shapeless layers, no misdirection. Whether it's a Cannes gown or a zip-up jacket at a soccer watch party, Palvin is dressing for herself, bump included. With several weeks of World Cup matches still ahead, there's every reason to expect more. A cropped soccer jersey would be a natural next move — and at this point, she'd make it look like a deliberate choice.

Maternity style has never needed to be a compromise, and Palvin is making that case one outfit at a time.
