Stars lined up to attend the UK premiere of Freakier Friday last week, with many opting for some distinctly 00s-inspired red carpet glam in tribute to the much-anticipated sequel to Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis’ 2003 film. Among them was comedian Katherine Ryan, who recently announced her pregnancy and took the opportunity to show off her growing baby bump.

Katherine’s exact dress is usually priced at £219, but for a limited time it has 20% off, slashing the price to £175.20 and saving you £44.

The dress is still available in all sizes from XS to large, which according to Karen Millen’s size chart equates to a 4-6 to a 16-18. It’s also made from a soft and stretchy jersey fabric which hugs your figure and keeps it comfortable enough to move around in during your event.
If you needed evidence of how comfortable and stretchy the material is, Katherine managed to accommodate her baby bump throughout the entire premiere, with plenty of give to keep her comfortable. The Premium Crystal Embellished Jersey Midi Dress is also covered in a geometric pattern made from crystals in a matching aqua colour, giving it a glittering expensive look without weighing you down with beading or sequins.
