Congratulations are in order for Karen Gillan, who announced the wonderful news that she is going to be a mother for the first time on Friday.

The stunning outfit featured a glamorous cape in the same yellow-green hue, with the rest of the dress finishing mid-thigh, perfectly accentuating her growing bump.

To complement her vibrant ensemble, the starlet wore a pair of perspex heels, the sole matching her gorgeous gown.

When asked in 2018 whether she thought she would be a good mother, Karen said: "Of course, I need some little ginger children running around. I definitely want them – it’s going to be hilarious.

The Scottish actress hasn't yet confirmed where she plans to raise the baby, as she is currently residing in Los Angeles.

She explained: "I feel at home when I come back to the UK. I just really like seeing all the familiar faces on TV and feeling like I’m not out of the loop on what’s going on.
"This still feels like home, even though so many people I love are over there now [in the States]. But one day it’ll be over, and I’ll come back. All my best mates are still in Inverness, so I’ll get a little cottage up in the Highlands and just live there for the rest of my life."
