Kerry Washington Broke Every Pregnancy Fashion Rule at the Emmys (and Slayed)

Dressing your best when pregnant can sometimes be an exercise in futility. You feel like a beached whale, your feet are swollen and, honestly, even the idea of having to dress in a fancy outfit just to sit around for four hours during an awards show seems like actual torture, no? Apparently not for all mamas, as Kerry Washington proved at the 2016 Emmys. Her mama march down the red carpet had tongues wagging in a good way (for a change), and it’s giving us major pregnancy fashion envy (is that a thing?)

Let’s break this down, because Kerry’s incredibly on trend with this look. Her natural hair is gorgeous and mirrors her belly in the perfect way by being super full. The cutout/skin she’s showing on the sides of her floor length gown is super sexy while still covering all the right places, reminding us that pregnant women are just as sexy as their non-pregnant counterparts. And that cape? Where do we begin with that flawlessness?

Kerry’s makeup is on point too. The bare skin on her chest and subtle accessories top off a look that’s giving us major pregnancy envy. Who knew that you could slay every single high fashion trend all while being super pregnant?

Kerry Washington, that’s who.

Norman Mailer, I'm pregnant! This might be a memorable line from an equally memorable Gilmore Girls episode, but it's now also a reality for one of the show's stars because Milo Ventimiglia is expecting his first child! The actor married model and entrepreneur Jarah Mariano in the fall of 2023 at a tiny, private ceremony (a move that was very Jess Mariano of him), and on September 29, Jarah announced she's pregnant!

Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano just showed up at Brian Bowen Smith's ‘Joyride’ exhibit at Studio CT in California, and one source tells People Milo was “sweet and attentive to his wife throughout the whole event.” Duh!!

He “seemed very proud to be with her" while Jarah looked "radiant and glowing," as she always does. “Milo was kissing her and whispering into her ear," the source continues. "They were just genuinely lovely together.”

Is Jarah Mariano pregnant?

Jarah Mariano/Instagram

Yes, Jarah Mariano announced her pregnancy with an Instagram post featuring a surf session with Milo Ventimiglia. In the photos, Jarah is sitting on a surfboard wearing a brown bikini top, polka dot bikini bottoms, and a pink lei. "Baby on board!" she says in the caption.

After his time on Gilmore Girls, Milo played patriarch Jack Pearson on NBC's This Is Us, and told US Weekly in 2017 that "I think I’m built to want a strong family unit. “It will happen when it happens. I’m not out seeking it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in the space in my life that when it presents itself and it’s right, I’m sure it will work out.”

And it looks like it worked out at the exact right time.

Does Milo Ventimiglia have a wife?

Yes, Milo Ventimiglia & wife Jarah Mariano got married in the fall of 2023, and Jarah recently posted some new photos from the special day. "Last year I married my best friend," she says. "There aren’t enough words that exist to describe all the special qualities that make him who he is. AlI can say is that I am grateful for the life that we have together and the happiness that we have created🤍 Aloha wau iā 'oe my husband Milo."

"Things are good," Milo told Extra in February 2024. "We've had relationships that have come and have gone and then you get to a point where you kind of meet your match and meet someone that inspires you in a way different than anybody else...I'm grateful for her and I’m happy to have arrived in this moment, so married life is nice."

Steph and Ayesha Curryhave had a busy year after announcing they were expecting their fourth baby in the spring. Now the loving couple have another reason to celebrate, because their fourth baby was born in May, and we couldn't be happier for them! The couple just shared a super cute photo of their entire family together, and we're truly swooning.

With 12 years of marriage under their belts, they're one of the few celebrity couples that have stood the test of time, carefully balancing their beautiful family with their ever-burgeoning careers.

Here's what we know about this fab family!

When did Ayesha Curry share her pregnancy announcement?

Camila Falquez / Sweet July

Sweet July, Ayesha's magazine, shared her sweet pregnancy announcement on Instagram on March 1, 2024 in celebration of its first digital issue. Singer Ciara — who welcomed her fourth baby at the end of last year — commented, "Yay yay yay! ❤️❤️❤️," while other fans also expressed their excitement.

How old are Ayesha and Steph Curry's kids?

Ayesha and Steph have two daughters named Riley (11) and Ryan (8), alongside their son, Canon (5), and the newest addition, son, Caius (4 months).

How long have Ayesha and Steph Curry been married?

Ayesha and Steph Curry started dating in 2008 and have been married since 2011. Last year Steph Curry shared a touching anniversary post on Instagram that shared the wonderful moments of the 12 years they've been husband and wife. He said, "I’m thankful for every experience we have shared together. The highs, the lows, the ways life has brought us closer together through it all." Excuse us while we grab tissues!

How does Ayesha Curry feel about their growing family?

In the digital issue of Sweet July, Ayesha detailed her thoughts surrounding her pregnancy and the decision to grow her family. She said, "...last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again. For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing."

What has Steph Curry said about their growing family?

Although he hasn't publicly shared a statement with any outlets, Steph shared the cover of Sweet July's digital issue on Instagram and captioned the pic, "Vol. 4 ❤️👀😍." All we can say is: oh baby!

Have Steph and Ayesha Curry chosen Godparents for their fourth baby?

Ayesha Curry as Heather with Lindsay Lohan as Maddie Kell in "Irish Wish"

When Lindsay Lohan revealed that Steph and Ayesha Curry chose her as the fairy Godparent, we could hardly contain our excitement because it feels like an unexpected, but needed connection. Although nothing has been 100% confirmed, Ayesha hinted that this may be the case!

During an interview with Andy Cohen to promote the upcoming movie Irish Wish, Ayesha talked about the excitement of working with Lindsay and whether she'll share a special bond with her then-expected baby. She laughed and told Cohen, "...we typically wait until after the baby is born to make these decisions."

Lindsay quickly chimed in and said, "You just reminded me of in Feud, the new Truman Capote [show] where everyone wants to be the belle of the ball and you just put her on the spot..."

As exciting as it is to know if Lindsay will be the Godmother, we can understand Steph and Ayesha's desire to take their time while making this kind of decision. Hopefully they'll share the news with everyone whenever they decide, but just know that our bet is on Lindsay!

Where has Ayesha Curry been spotted recently?

Ayesha Curry is proving to be one hot mama, and we're 100% here for it! As reported by People, she was seen rocking a sultry lace-up dress by Dolce & Gabbana at a screening of Irish Wish and she looked absolutely radiant. Also, the moments where she spotted cradling her baby bump are too precious to ignore.

It may not seem like much, but seeing pregnant moms-to-be wearing stylish outfits makes us feel giddy.

Have Steph and Ayesha Curry welcomed their new baby?

Ayesha Curry / Instagram

Baby Curry is officially here as of May 2024! Ayesha Curry excitedly shared news of her and Steph's newest addition on Instagram earlier this year before revealing little one's name: Caius Chai.

After revealing her breast cancer diagnosis on Pod Meets World in August, Danielle Fishel continues to prove she won't let the disease hold her back. The actress and director took the red carpet for the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premiere, and she opened up to PEOPLE magazine about how this disease continues to impact her. Here's what she had to say!

At the premiere, Danielle Fishel shared with PEOPLE that she was actually "back and forth" about showing up to the premiere. She said, "I obviously wanted to come tonight because I absolutely love this show. I'm so honored to have been able to direct a couple of episodes of it."

Still, there was something holding her back. She shared, "At the same time, everything I wanted to put on, I was like, 'I can see my scars in that. Oh, I can see my scars in that.'"

Instead of letting that hold her back, though, Danielle decided to push herself. "I was like, 'Why am I going to let that be a factor in deciding to live my life?'" she said. "I got dressed and I had my makeup artist do her magic and I feel fine." Ultimately, she said she was "happy" to be there — which is all you can ask for when you're facing down your fears!

Fishel told PEOPLE that her "whole life has changed" since her diagnosis. She explained that her life consists of "many doctor's appointments," check-ups, and side effects. She said, "It's not fun, but it is what it is. And with all that said, I'm very fortunate and I'm going to live, which is the most important thing."

Back in August, the star explained to Rider Strong and Will Friedle that was diagnosed with DCIS — ductal carcinoma in situ — which she described as "a rare form of breast cancer." Even though she discovered the disease at "technically stage zero," she underwent surgery to remove the cancer, as well as follow-up treatments.

When she announced her diagnosis, Danielle explained that she thought she would "would suffer in silence" and "not tell anyone." However, it's clear she's made the conscious effort to not only lean on her community, share her story, and brave the aftermath — surgery scars included.

Fishel's brave red carpet move comes after another fellow breast cancer survivor, Olivia Munn spoke out earlier in October about how her own scars. Munn bared her scars for a SKIMS campaign, after deciding she didn't wanna cover them up anymore. We're so proud of all these strong women for telling their stories and fully embracing themselves, scars and all!

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”
