Motherhood in Style: Jenna Dewan Turns Heads in Feathered Cult Gaia Gown and Gothic Glam at Fashion Trust U.S. Awards

In April 2024, Jenna Dewan proudly showcased her growing baby bump at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards, turning heads in a gothic, cut-out black gown by Cult Gaia.

Maternity fashion has evolved dramatically in recent years, shedding its once-conservative image in favor of confidence and bold self-expression. Thanks to trailblazers like Rihanna, who revolutionized maternity dressing during her first pregnancy in 2022, expectant celebrities now embrace their curves in daring silhouettes and skin-baring designs.

Dewan continues that evolution with grace and assurance, redefining maternity style through her own fearless, fashion-forward lens.

Before diving deeper into Jenna Dewan’s look, it’s worth noting that the 2024 Fashion Trust U.S. Awards delivered several unforgettable footwear moments — from sculptural stilettos to sleek pumps, the pink carpet was a celebration of designer craftsmanship and celebrity style.

Jenna Dewan Radiates Confidence in a Feathered Black Cult Gaia Gown Showcasing Her Baby Bump

The then-43-year-old actress of mixed ethnicity couldn’t be missed in a feathered black gown from Cult Gaia, a Los Angeles-based fashion brand known for its slinky silhouettes and artful, maximalist aesthetic—as seen in Dewan’s outfit choice.

Cut from slinky satin, the dress beautifully hugs every inch of Dewan’s pregnancy curves. It features a bra-style bodice held in place by an adjustable elastic band with a hook-and-eye clasp at the back. In addition, it has a sexy exposed back framed by delicate spaghetti straps.

The side cutouts and the plunging V-neckline are too much for my taste, but I admire how great it looks on Jenna. It transitions gracefully into a floor-sweeping skirt, trimmed with ostrich feathers that cascade from the thighs to the hem. It’s quite a daring choice for an expectant mom, I have to say, but I love how confident she’s pulling it off.

Jenna Dewan Elevates Her Cult Gaia Gown With the Dramatic “Audrey” Feather Jacket

At first glance, Dewan appeared to be wearing a long-sleeved, feathered gown with a high neckline. In reality, she had layered the $1,298 “Audrey” feather jacket over her Cult Gaia dress — a clever styling choice that created the illusion of a single, dramatic piece.

Crafted from real ostrich feathers, the shrug added movement and texture to her look, while its soft ribbon ties introduced a note of classic refinement. Though the dress’s full silhouette remained partially hidden, the feathered layer struck just the right balance of modesty and high-fashion edge.

Jenna Dewan Complements Her Gothic-Chic Look With Diamond Jewelry and a Glamorous Bob Hairstyle

Giving the gothic-chic look a dash of glitz, the Step Up star accessorized with jewelry from Cicada and Suzanne Kalan. She wore statement-making diamond drop earrings and adorned her black-manicured hands with a few diamond rings.

Jenna debuted a shorter bob, which Ricky Mota curled with a deep side part. Tonya Brewer, meanwhile, enhanced the look’s goth-glam theme by applying heavy smoky eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, and under-eye liner.

Jenna was accompanied on the red carpet by her Tony Award-winning fiancé, Steve Kazee, who wore a large, dark brown suit. He left his jacket open, revealing his white tank top tucked into wide-leg pants. A pair of shiny black oxford shoes completed the look.

Jenna and Kazee were expecting their second child together when she attended the awards. The couple has since welcomed a daughter, Rhiannon Lee Kathryn Kazee, on June 14, 2024. (They welcomed their first child in 2020, and Jenna also has a daughter, born in 2013, from her previous marriage to ex-husband Channing Tatum.)

From bold maternity couture to effortlessly chic streetwear, Jenna Dewan continues to prove that confidence and impeccable footwear go hand in hand. Her evolving style tells a story of versatility, grace, and a deep appreciation for design—both on and off the red carpet.
