Lea Michele decided to make it blue.

The pregnant Glee alum showed off her baby bump as she hit the red carpet at the 2024 Met Gala May 6, channeling Sleeping Beauty's iconic blue dress in honor of the Met's current exhibit,"Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" (See more stunning looks from the red carpet here.)

Adding a bit of floral flair, the 37-year-old's long, blue Rodarte gown featured white flowers on the bodice and the one-shoulder strap, tapping into the evening's theme of "The Garden of Time." Lea kept her makeup and hair simple, but did go for a dramatic flair wearing a gorgeous, puffy tulle boudoir robe.

The Broadway star—already mom to 3-year-old Ever—recently announced that she and husband Zandy Reich are expecting their second child together. Sharing photos featuring her baby bump on Instagram March 27, Lea wrote, "Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed," adding a yellow heart emoji.

"I definitely had mom guilt, for sure, of leaving him and not being there 24/7," she told E! News in April 2022. "But it was so important for me to show him me doing what I really love."

But she wouldn't change anything about being a mom.

"Motherhood is beautiful, it's intense, it's hard," she continued. "It's the greatest thing I've ever done."
