Golden Globes 2026: Sinners' Wunmi Mosaku Debuts Pregnancy on Red Carpet

Sinners' Wunmi Mosaku brought a scene-stealing plus-one to the 2026 Golden Globes.

The actress, who welcomed a daughter seven months before she got to work playing Hoodoo practitioner Annie in Ryan Coogler's lauded horror film, has let it be known that she's pregnant again, intentionally debuting her baby bump on the Globes red carpet Jan. 11. (See all the red carpet fashion.)

Mosaku chose a flowing, bright-yellow halter gown by Matthew Reisman for the occasion, posing for photos with her hands gently cradling her belly.

Just so she's clear.

"I’ve been advised to get ahead of speculation and questions," Mosaku told Vogue in a piece published to coincide with her red carpet moment. "Keen eyes mean speculation has already begun. Is she pregnant? Has she gained weight? What’s with the outfit?"

"Truthfully, I’d love to just show up as me—a woman who happens to be pregnant—celebrating our powerful film and our amazing team, while I protect this most sacred prayer of my life," she continued. "So, I've decided to stop trying to camouflage my bump today at the Golden Globes, so me and baby can truly enjoy and embrace the moment fully together."

And what a moment for Sinners, which is nominated for seven Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture-Drama, Best Performance by a Lead Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for Michael B. Jordan, Best Director and Screenplay for Coogler, Best Score for Ludwig Göransson, Best Original Song for Göransson and Raphael Saadiq's "I Lied to You," and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

"Baby has seen me through ever so carefully," Mosaku, who kept her joyful news to herself at last weekend's Critics Choice Awards, "and I want to celebrate how wonderfully we've done together to get here as a team, as demanding as it's been. In Yoruba, we say Iya ni Wúrà which means 'mother is golden,' so when I saw sketches of this beautiful custom yellow Matthew Reisman, I knew it was the right dress and the right moment."

While the Nigerian-born actress tends to keep her private life behind the scenes, the connection she felt to the role of Annie—who's mourning the loss of a baby girl—as a new mom was undeniable. Plus, it was her first time on set while juggling work and motherhood.

"I went from breastfeeding every meal to my baby to pumping. It was a huge shock," she told W last year. "I didn’t realize I was getting a hit of oxytocin every time I fed my baby. I had a comedown that was so sharp and visceral. I was moving so fast, and a knife slipped. I cut my thumb open and wasted an entire morning in urgent care. My husband said, 'What would Annie do?'"

While Annie probably would have had an herb or a charm for that, Mosaku had other ideas.

"She’d have been more intentional about the time with her daughter," she said of the character, who's estranged from—but viscerally drawn to—her husband Smoke (Jordan), back from doing business in Chicago along with his identical twin Stack (also Jordan). "And that was the lesson I learned in week one from Annie: Slow down."

Hopefully Mosaku was able to enjoy the moment that photographers captured her radiant Golden Globes look for posterity. See all the stunning fashion on the red carpet:
