Adwoa Aboah showed off her growing baby bump on Tuesday as she attended the Gurls Talk fundraising gala held at Ladbroke Hall in London.

The pregnant Top Boy star, 31, is expecting her first child with U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley, who she has been dating since last year.

She looked effortlessly radiant at the gala, sporting a stylish black crop top, which was twisted in the middle to leave her blossoming bump on full display.

Adwoa teamed it with a coordinating maxi skirt, while toting a contrasting cream clutch purse.

The model completed her look with silver tipped high heels and a slew of diamond and gold bracelets, rings and earrings.

Opting for minimal makeup, she showcased her glowing complexion and natural beauty, while beaming to reveal she was wearing a tooth gem. 

She caught up with Emily Ratajkowski and Ella Eyre at the bash and posed for photos with a delighted Miquita Oliver, who couldn’t help but cradle Adwoa’s bump.

During the gala, the beauty made her way to the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech for the attendees.

Gurls Talk provides resources and a safe space for young women to discuss a wide range of issues from mental health, to sexuality, self care, body image and loneliness.

Adwoa revealed she was pregnant with her first child last month, utlilising one of fashion’s biggest annual events to debuted her baby bump – the Met Gala.

She bared her bump for the first time in an eye-catching red co-ord, and eschewed luxury designer looks by opting to wear an outfit from iconic high street brand, H&M.

She donned a ruffled crop top made of layers of silk organza to resemble petals, over the top of a rhinestone-encrusted bralette and paired with a matching voluminous bubble-hem skirt.

Speaking about the look, Adwoa explained she had wanted to stay on the dress code of The Garden of Time, while also having a wow moment to announce her happy baby news.

She said: ‘My Met Gala looks are always very instinctive – I love leaning into the theme, but I always want to feel completely like myself with the confidence to stand out from the rest. We created a look to mark a very special moment in my life.’

Adwoa and her boyfriend skater Daniel, 33, have kept their romance private, only sharing the odd cosy snaps of one another on birthdays and special occasions.

She has been open about her difficult past and problems with alcohol and drugs, previously recounting how she first tried marijuana at the age of 14 after getting drunk at a house party.

From then on, she started using harder drugs, trying both cocaine and ketamine, with the latter being the drug which ‘really got’ her.

Last year, Adwoa revealed she was ‘pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together’ while in a treatment facility for her drug addiction.

She added that she is ‘lucky’ to be sober and go to treatment as it forced her to confront herself and her addiction issues.

Speaking on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast for World Mental Health Day, she said: ‘I was lucky enough to go to treatment, so I met a mad variety of people there who’d been through all sorts of different things.

‘It kicks it out of you when you are forced to really confront yourself. I’m actually quite lucky. A lot of sober people say that. I think I’m quite lucky that I was pushed to deal with it now.

‘Pushed to pick apart any judgments I had towards other people. Pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together so that I could look at things a bit differently.

‘Even though it was pretty f***ing s**t, I’m pretty lucky to be quite honest that I’ve been given this chance to do things differently and to look at situations in a more empathetic way, actually.’

Adwoa wants to use her platform to raise awareness for mental health and admitted: ‘I’ve resigned myself to the fact that life is just so messy and one’s mental health journey couldn’t be further from linear.

‘So the fact is it’s just ebbs and flows and we find ways of dealing with things and then we’re confronted with another thing, whether it be grief or identity or love or sex, it’s endless.

‘I think because our stories change and evolve, and we grow so our perspective on things changes, and it’s so mad that you can look at a situation that happened a few years ago and then with some age and wisdom you suddenly reframe it and you’re like, “Okay maybe it was my fault”.

‘Or maybe there are different ways that we can look at things, I think that comes with age definitely. I’ve started really putting into place those boundaries and knowing what’s good for me and what is not good for me.’
