Chanel’s Ultimate Finale: Supermodel Choi Sora Debuts Baby Bump on the Runway!
The fashion world is officially on baby watch, and leave it to a global icon to drop the news in the most high-fashion way possible. Rumors can step aside because a legendary Choi Sora pregnancy has officially been confirmed—and the grand reveal took place right on the Chanel runway.
On Tuesday, May 26, the fashion elite gathered in western Seoul for Chanel’s highly anticipated 2026 Métiers d’art fashion show. While the intricate craftsmanship of the collection was already breathtaking, it was the show’s grand finale that left everyone gasping. Striking a fierce yet tender pose, top model Choi Sora closed the show in a stunning white sleeveless gown, gently cradling a visible baby bump with both hands.
A Chic Baby Reveal at Centre Pompidou Hanwha
Footage captured by Marie Claire Korea and ecstatic front-row guests quickly took social media by storm. Walking down the runway at the Centre Pompidou Hanwha, Choi exuded her signature ethereal grace, but with a beautiful, maternal glow. Behind-the-scenes photos released by her management, Gost Agency, later showed the model backstage, glowing with happiness as she continued to rest her hands around her stomach.
Following the internet frenzy, Gost Agency officially confirmed the exciting news of the Choi Sora pregnancy. While the agency played it cool and kept further details under wraps, the industry is already celebrating the upcoming arrival of fashion’s newest “IT” baby. This marks the first child for Choi and her husband, acclaimed photographer Kove Lee, whom she married in a famously chic black-dress wedding back in 2019.
High Fashion Meets Motherhood
While a runway pregnancy reveal is rare, Choi Sora joins an elite club of runway queens who have redefined maternity style. In recent years, brands like Marine Serre and Chanel themselves (with model Kaya Wilkins walking six months pregnant last year) have celebrated motherhood on the catwalk. However, seeing Korea’s most successful high-fashion export embrace this next chapter at home in Seoul hit different for fans worldwide.
Since winning Korea’s Next Top Model in 2012 and dominating global campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Chanel since 2014, Choi has been unstoppable. Now, she is ready to take on her most rewarding role yet.
