Suki Waterhouse says Emmys dress was redesigned to 'fit the bump'

Suki Waterhouse stunned on the Emmy Awards red carpet in a red Valentino dress (with pockets) – and in turn, showed off her burgeoning baby bump.

"The fitting was just me holding it to my body," Waterhouse told E! of the dress fitting a few months prior, "so they had to really take it apart and had to redesign this dress to make it fit the bump." Waterhouse is expecting her first child with "The Batman" actor Robert Pattinson.

The British actress and singer-songwriter alluded to her pregnancy during a performance at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City last year.

Taking the stage in a glittery sequined dress and feathery, light pink jacket, Waterhouse seemed to suggest that her stage attire was meant to deflect from her growing baby bump.

"I decided to wear something particularly sparkly today 'cause I thought it might distract you from something else that's going on," Waterhouse said, later laughing, according to footage shared on social media. "I'm not sure if it's working."

Waterhouse ("Daisy Jones & the Six") also spoke on the E! red carpet about working with producer Reese Witherspoon. "She has a pretty good track record if you do a show with her," Waterhouse joked.

"Reese is the ultimate powerhouse woman," Waterhouse added. "And honestly, it's just crazy that she even knows that I exist."
