During her appearance at The Brit Awards, Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker announced her second pregnancy with husband Christian Contreras as she cradled her growing baby bump on the red carpet of the event at The O2 Arena in London on Tuesday.

Whittaker sported a loose-fitting beanbag-style cream-colored mini dress with an orange neckline and puff sleeves. Completing her look, the actress wore a pair of black heels and accessorized with a dice-shaped black-and-white handbag alongside the dress designed by British brand Cimone.

Cimone's official Instagram page confirmed the news of her pregnancy with a photo of Whittaker wearing the dress moments before she headed to the red carpet of The Brit Awards 2022. Part of the post's caption read:

"...the dress is all made from end of life materials and was created specifically to incorporate her pregnancy, while allowing Jodie to retain her sense of self."
