Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, formerly of Little Mix, has utilized her third pregnancy to engage with themes of motherhood and body image.

In September 2026, Pinnock closed the Di Petsa Spring/Summer 2027 runway show at London Fashion Week. The performance, part of the ‘Holy Milk’ collection, featured Pinnock in garments designed to simulate the appearance of breast milk to explore themes of nurturance and the female body.

Following the fashion show, Pinnock addressed social media backlash regarding her decision to display her pregnancy bump. In an Instagram video, she responded to critics by stating, “When embracing your baby bump makes people feel uncomfortable,” and encouraged followers to “Throw your dumb opinions out the window. . . free the bump.”
