On April 4, the Glee alum, 37, — who last month revealed she is expecting her second child with her husband Zandy Reich — attended the 2024 Hope Rising Benefit at The Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City and showcased her growing bump in her first red carpet appearance since announcing her pregnancy.

Michele was all smiles as she posed for photos, wearing a backless red halterneck Michael Kors wrap dress with a gold neck detail.

The actress, who wore her hair down in loose waves, teamed her chic look with a sleek gold cuff by Brilliant Earth and gold earrings, cradling her baby bump with her hands.

The event — which is held by The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) — raises funds to help the fight against frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). The April 4 event marked the eighth annual Hope Rising Benefit.

Michele's attendance comes after she revealed the happy news of her second pregnancy in an Instagram post on March 27.

"Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed. 💛," she wrote in a caption alongside a carousel of images showing her with a small baby bump.

In the first shot in her pregnancy reveal post, Michele wore a long, white cardigan that fell open to reveal her bare bump and matching white underwear. The actress smiled in the photo as she looked down at her belly.

The second shot in the carousel showed a close-up of the actress in the same outfit, facing toward the camera, while the final image was a full-length shot of the pregnant actress. Michele and Reich's new baby will join their son Ever, 3, who was born in August 2020. The actress and clothing company president started dating in 2017, having been longtime friends previously.
