Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) had her first child, daughter Willa, with husband Joe Jonas a couple years back. She’s now pregnant with her second child, and put her baby bump on display at last night’s Met Gala.
For those who don’t know, the Met Gala is a yearly event meant to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, but it’s long since become an excuse for celebrities to dress up in the latest fashions and show them off.

Sophie Turner explains how becoming a mother improved her acting
Motherhood hasn’t just changed Turner’s personal life; it’s also affected her career. She opened up about how during an appearance on the Unwrapped podcast.

You can next see Turner in the true crime series The Staircase on HBO Max. It premieres on May 5.
