What an exhilarating weekend for sports enthusiasts! The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off, and the New York Knicks claimed the NBA championship, creating a whirlwind of excitement that had fans hopping from one state to another. Even celebrities were swept up in the fervor, with dedicated supporters like Timothée Chalamet and Spike Lee enjoying courtside seats at the Knicks game. Meanwhile, a glamorous World Cup viewing party for the Team USA vs. Paraguay match took place at Alba in Los Angeles, where Team USA emerged victorious.
The star-studded World Cup gathering attracted a host of celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Vittoria Ceretti, Halle Berry, Becky G, and Dylan Sprouse with Barbara Palvin. While many attendees embraced sporty fashion, often donning pieces featuring Team USA’s stars and stripes, it was Palvin who captured the spotlight with her chic maternity ensemble.

The Hungarian model dazzled at the event in a sleek black maxi skirt and a zippered jacket, strategically unzipped at the bottom to reveal her baby bump—a nod to Rihanna’s iconic styling. Adding an athletic flair, Palvin accessorized with a Raising Cane’s duffel bag adorned with a stars-and-stripes scarf, aligning with the event’s host, the food chain. Her husband, Sprouse, complemented her look with a matching all-black outfit.
Since announcing her pregnancy at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, Palvin has mastered the art of maternity fashion. Her off-duty looks have been just as captivating as her red carpet appearances, where she has donned a range of flowing, romantic gowns that elegantly highlight her growing bump. As she transitions to a sporty style for the World Cup, Palvin continues to prove that maternity wear can be both glamorous and paparazzi-ready. With a month of World Cup matches ahead, fans can anticipate more soccer-inspired ensembles from her, perhaps even a chic soccer jersey.
