Back in December, it was rumored, but never officially confirmed, that Kirsten Dunst was expecting her first child with fiancé Jesse Plemons. Today, the actress confirmed the news by debuting her baby bump in Rodarte's Fall 2018 portrait series.

Setting the bar high for original pregnancy announcement ideas (you won't find this one on Pinterest), Dunst cradled her baby bump in two stunning photos showcasing Rodarte's latest collection. The actress stars in the fashion house's new portrait series, which features a star-studded lineup also including Rowan Blanchard, Gia Coppola, Tessa Thompson, Grimes, the modeling debut of Ava Philippe, and more. Considering Dunst has been both a muse and a friend to Rodarte designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy for years, it makes for a fitting (and fashionable) choice for her big announcement.

In her first portrait, an expecting Dunst wears a pink, red, and white floral embroidered gown with a red and silver dotted tulle dress.

For the second image, the actress wears a tan coat with a brown bow tied around the neckline.

The child will be the first for both Kirsten and her fiancé Jesse Plemons. The couple announced their engagement in January 2017.

But Dunst's special announcement isn't the only news-worthy moment featured in Rodarte's Fall 2018 lookbook. The series of portraits also marks the fashion modeling debut of Ava Philippe, the 18-year-old daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe. The teenager, who's the spitting image of her mom, wears a pink tulle gown adorned with red flowers and lace gloves.
