Pregnant Adwoa Aboah Bares Her Baby Bump in Glam All-Black Look at Mental Health Gala

Adwoa Aboah is proudly showing off her baby bump.

The model and founder of Gurls Talk made an appearance at a fundraising gala for her nonprofit organization on June 4 in London in a glam all-black look with a bump-baring cutout in the front.

The long-sleeve dress featured a plunging neckline and floor-sweeping skirt but left her pregnant belly on display. She accessorized with a white clutch, stacks of bracelets and dazzling earrings.

The event, held at London’s Ladbroke Hall, was the first charity gala for the organization, which Aboah, 32, founded to shed light on mental health awareness for young women and girls. The model created the organization so people would have “safe spaces” and so they could access resources for their mental health, according to the organization’s website.

“I run a nonprofit called Gurls Talk, and I have a great responsibility to an amazing community of young women,” Aboah told PEOPLE in 2023 on the red carpet for Victoria’s Secret The Tour, which she modeled for. Victoria’s Secret overhauled the runway show for last year, and Aboah told PEOPLE that the new initiative felt more in alignment with what she stands for, especially when it comes to mental health and representing her own organization.

“I wanted to make sure that this wasn’t just a ‘moment,’ but this was just the first step in a long run of amazing things that they’re going to do to kind of redefine beauty, redefine sexiness,” she added.

Aboah first revealed her baby bump at the 2024 Met Gala. She wore a red two-piece set from H&M featuring a capelet in red silk organza with petal-like tulle ruffles over a bralette embroidered with rhinestones, paired with a bubble-hem skirt in coordinating red silk taffeta. 

The mom-to-be, who is expecting her child with U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley, according to the Daily Mail, wore her hair in a high ballerina bun with a middle part and completed the look with matching red heels and a clutch.
