Shanina Shaik shows off baby bump at amfAR Gala Cannes 2022 runway show

Shanina Shaik is bumpin’ down the runway in style.

The Australian model took a cue from Rihanna and Adriana Lima as she strutted her stuff at the amfAR Gala Cannes 2022 catwalk show in a bridal-themed, bump-baring look.

Wearing a cream-colored crochet dress with the stomach cut out and ruffles surrounding her belly, the 31-year-old was on-brand for the “Let’s Get Married” themed event in a long lace veil.

Adding white pumps to her wedding outfit, the style star wore her hair in a slicked back style and ditched earrings to let her veil (and bump) shine.

The supermodel is the latest mom-to-be to put her belly front and center in Cannes, following Lima’s red carpet look at last week’s “Top Gun: Maverick” screening and subsequent red carpets at the French film festival.

Shaik, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Matthew Adesuyan, switched gears in a much more covered-up look for the rest of the gala, sporting a black vintage gown by Alexander McQueen from Tab Vintage.

The three-quarter-sleeve dress featured a beaded collar and a silk pajama-inspired aesthetic, and the model kept her hair sleek and simple in a half-up style.

Held at the exclusive Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the fashion show — taking part during the amfAR Gala — featured models including Ashley Graham, Noémie Lenoir, Cindy Bruna and Jordan Barrett, all to raise money for AIDS research.

Shaik — who turned into a Bond girl last year for a Michael Kors swimsuit campaign —  joined stars like Ciara, Naomi Campbell, Eva Longoria, Vanessa Hudgens, Nina Dobrev and more at the charity fundraiser.

As for her pregnancy, which the model announced on Mother’s Day, Shaik said it was a “precious journey.”

“I have always wanted you for as long as I can remember, and at times my patience was tested,” the former Victoria’s Secret model said.

“The timing had to be right, and I can say with confidence that I am ready to be your guide, your protector and your best friend.”
