Kruger, 36, told PEOPLE on the red carpet that she reached out to stylistJessica Pasterfor assistance in finding a just-right frock to suit her pregnant frame for the glittery awards gala.
“I texted her and I was like, ‘I’m pregnant — we need to find something that I’m comfortable in,” she said. “I’m still in that weird place where you’re like, ‘Well, Ijust popped in the last week,’ but I was still kind of like, ‘Are you fat or are you pregnant?’ So I wanted comfort, but I also wanted to feel beautiful.”
She continued, “I worked throughout the first trimester on a film feeling sick. All you want to do is be in sweatpants all day, every day.”
