Pop star Ellie Goulding made a stunning announcement on Monday night, revealing she is expecting her second child by proudly showcasing her baby bump on the blue carpet at The 2025 Fashion Awards.
A Star-Studded Announcement
The 38-year-old singer chose the prestigious event at London's Royal Albert Hall to debut her pregnancy. She turned heads in a chic yet revealing black crop top and wide-leg culotte trousers that put her bare bump centre stage. This joyful news comes after Goulding separated from her husband of five years, art dealer Caspar Jopling, early last year. The couple share a four-year-old son, Arthur.
Goulding has been in a relationship with her new partner, Beau Minniear, 28, for approximately six months, though she only publicly confirmed the romance in September. A source close to the singer told the Daily Mail at the time: 'It's still early days, but Ellie and Beau are very much in love, he's a real romantic, and they're very sweet together. It's really lovely to watch, she's very happy.'
Fashion's Biggest Night
The ceremony, considered one of the most significant events in the fashion calendar, honours leading figures and emerging talent from the global industry. This year's host, actor Colman Domingo, paid tribute to British style by wearing Burberry on the red carpet.
Among the other early arrivals were television personality Amanda Holden and her daughter, Lexi. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 52, made a daring statement in a black gown featuring a dramatic cut-out at the back, accentuated by a bow detail at the waist. Her daughter Lexi, who is forging her own path in modelling, opted for a sleek, form-fitting black dress with a sheer beaded skirt, demonstrating her fashion pedigree.
A Rich Heritage of Glamour
First held in 1989 as the British Fashion Awards, the event was renamed in 2016 to reflect its international scope. It has been hosted at iconic London venues including the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum before returning to the Royal Albert Hall in 2016, where it has remained since. Over the decades, the awards have attracted a glittering array of guests from Princess Diana and the Spice Girls to design legends like Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld, cementing its status as a highlight of the social and fashion year.
