All eyes are on Vanessa Kirby on the blue carpet for her upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as she looks utterly amazing in her formal attire.

For a recent fan event in Berlin, Kirby is wearing a stylish long-sleeve black turtleneck dress. The piece’s upper half is made out of sheer fabric that allows for the solid-colored bandeau to stand out immediately when looking at her outfit. After the sheer comes even more solid fabric, as the skirt of the dress takes the stage. This skirt is all business in the front and party in the back with the implementation of daring cut-outs on the hips of the English actress.

At the end of the ankle-length dress are open-toed strap heels that are the perfect addition to the ensemble in both color and shape. Also worth praising are her blonde tresses, which are neatly styled down the length of her shoulders as well as her flawless, barely-there makeup, which includes sharp eyeliner, nude eyeshadow and matte lips. Her silver earrings also elevate the outfit further.

Due to the sheer nature of her dress, Kirby’s baby bump takes the limelight. The Napoleon star is expecting her very first child, a reality that coincidentally aligns with her character Sue Storm (a.k.a. The Invisible Woman). In the upcoming superhero film, Sue also becomes a first-time mother. Kirby commented on the perfectly-timed parallel on her Instagram and what lessons Sue has taught her thus far.

“I learnt so much from Sue Storm about being a first-time mother in the film,” the Wimbledon native wrote in her Instagram caption. “Very grateful and surreal to be on this journey with her. Thank you to everyone for the beautiful love and support. It means the world to me. “

But the Hobbs & Shaw actress doesn’t only relate to Sue Storm on the maternity front. She also shares Sue’s love for the sciences.

“I’m such a Sue nerd. I think I out-nerded everyone in that room. I got so into quantum physics. It’s sad how much I got into it. I could waffle on about cellular vibration frequency,” she divulged to Empire Magazine.

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Kirby stars alongside Pedro Pascal, who plays Mister Fantastic, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays The Thing, and Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn, who plays The Human Torch. The film is officially slated to release on Thursday, July 24.
