Ellie Goulding is embracing a bold new chapter with raw and honest elegance. In her latest cover story for Nylon Magazine, the “Love Me Like You Do” singer revealed she is expecting her second child with boyfriend Beau Minniear. Stepping away from the polished stage costumes of her past, Goulding chose a series of intimate portraits that celebrate her changing body. The photoshoot serves as a powerful visual accompaniment to her journey through divorce, new love, and motherhood.
Ellie Goulding strikes a pose in underwear in new baby bump photos for Nylon Magazine
The most striking images from the Nylon shoot feature Ellie Goulding in minimalist, high-waisted black underwear. Check out the photos below:
By stripping away complex fashion, the focus remains entirely on her blossoming baby bump and natural silhouette. She looks radiant and grounded, often posing with a “Mother Earth” serenity that feels both vulnerable and incredibly strong. One standout shot even pairs her casual underwear with a simple white T-shirt that has the word “Mother” printed across it, a direct nod to her current role.
Throughout the photo carousel, she keeps her beauty look completely effortless. She opted for “unfussy” hair, wearing her signature blonde locks in loose, natural waves. Her makeup is equally light, highlighting her glowing complexion and relaxed expression. In some photos, she is seen in more structured pieces, like a leather jacket thrown over her shoulders, but the core of the fashion statement remains the celebration of her bare bump.
This stripped-back aesthetic perfectly matches the candid nature of her interview. Goulding discussed the “dark times” of her past marriage and the excitement of her upcoming “divorce album.” By appearing in such a raw, minimal state, she shows the world that she is comfortable in her own skin. Whether she is lounging in basic black intimates or a figure-hugging mesh dress, she is clearly entering this new era with confidence and peace.
