Krys Marshall stepped out in style at the Critics Choice Awards 2026, showcasing her second pregnancy just two and a half years after her first.

On Sunday, Jan. 4, the actress graced the red carpet with her baby bump on full display, as she glowed in her champagne-gold gown.

The celebrity draped her waist with a long, flowy cream skirt, paired with pointed-toe heels. She wrapped her hair in a clean bun and capped off her look with David Yurman jewelry, amplifying the overall sophistication of her glow.

Krys Marshall reveals wardrobe malfunction at 2025 Emmys

In September, Krys Marshall grabbed attention at the 2025 Emmy Awards for her fashion mishap: a wardrobe malfunction that left her being "sewn into" her gown.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly and People on the red carpet, the 36-year-old actress revealed:

"A little inside secret about this is that I was walking out the door and my dress broke in the back. Zipper rips all the way down, so I've been sewn in. I am sewn into this dress. So I'll be wearing this at breakfast tomorrow."

At the time, she wore a sculptural dress by the Indonesian designer, Sebastian Gunawan, and strutted with its rectified version at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

Her Hulu show was also vying for four nominations then: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Sterling K. Brown), Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress in a Drama Series (James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson), and Outstanding Drama Series.


Meanwhile, Krys Marshall's pregnancy comes two and a half years after she and her husband Ted Dolan welcomed their first baby.

In June 2023, the couple celebrated the arrival of their child, whose name and gender they didn't reveal, on social media with a short but heartfelt message:

"Safe and sound, Earth side."

Before she gave birth to her baby, Krys Marshall reflected on her excitement about parenthood with People.

"The timing couldn't be more perfect because the baby will come during the hiatus of my shows. We'll have all summer to nest, rest and soak in the sun before I return to work."

The actress also opened up about their merged family's anticipation about her first child.

"I think our moms are even more excited about the baby than we are. My mom and sister are hosting a shower in Atlanta, Ted's mom and sister are doing one in Palo Alto, and then my girlfriends are showering us here in LA. This baby is going to be well-loved!"
