She showed off her bump as she posed in a series of gowns by designer Emilia Wickstead, who dressed her for the closing of the SXSW festival in London last night.
“I feel like I’ll be very held on an evening where, as an expectant mother, you can feel a little bit exposed,” Zawe told Vogue ahead of the event.
She then took to the red carpet wearing the blue number, which was casually draped around her growing bump.
Zawe was joined by Loki star Tom, who held her hand and looked sharp in a grey suit.

The closing night of the festival was screening the premiere of Tom's new movie The Life of Chuck.
The couple welcomed their first child in October 2022.
Tom and Zawe have never publicly confirmed the gender or the name of their first born but director Mike Flanagan has revealed they have a son.
The pair met in 2019 when starring in the play Betrayal in London's West End.
They have never confirmed that they are married but a Vogue article in February of this year referred to Zawe as Tom's "wife".
While Tom, who briefly dated singer Taylor Swift in 2016, rarely talks about his private life these days, he has shared how fatherhood has shaped him.

“It’s just changed everything. It changed the center of my life completely,” he has said.
He has also said very little about his relationship with his wife, but did confirm he was "very happy" soon after they made their red carpet debut together in 2021.
He also said of working together on the play in which they met: “It was an extraordinary life-changing time."
