Former Little Mix superstar Leigh-Anne Pinnock delivered an unforgettable performance at Brighton & Hove Pride 2026 on Saturday, 1 August. She took to the main stage with a show-stopping performance while displaying her baby bump decorated in sparkling body jewels.
The 34-year-old singer performed at Preston Park for the annual Pride on the Park fundraiser. She dazzled thousands of festivalgoers in her first major UK Pride festival appearance since announcing her third pregnancy with her husband, footballer Andre Gray.
A Sparkling Stage Return
Ever the performer, Leigh-Anne refused to tone down her signature high-octane choreography. She strode out onto the Brighton stage wearing a vibrant sunshine-yellow bikini top paired with low-slung co-ordinated trousers. The standout element of her ensemble was her exposed baby bump.
Her bump was embellished with intricate gems that caught the afternoon sunlight as she glided across the stage alongside her troupe of backing dancers.
The hitmaker treated the roaring crowd to a fiery setlist packed with fan favourites from her debut solo album, My Ego Told Me To. These included the popular tracks 'My Love', 'DSL' and 'Tight Up Skirt'.
Despite being several months pregnant, Leigh-Anne displayed incredible stamina and athleticism. The singer executed full dance routines and high-energy dance breakdowns without missing a single beat.
Her performance drew massive cheers across the park. Between songs, the singer took a moment to address the audience. She expressed her immense gratitude for the warm reception and sent a heartfelt message of love, solidarity, and unity to the LGBTQ+ community.
Growing the Family Lineage
The dazzling Pride appearance marks the first time the singer has showcased her bump with elaborate body art on stage. The singer confirmed her pregnancy on social media in mid-July. In a heartfelt Instagram post uploaded last month, Leigh-Anne shared a studio clip of herself cradling her stomach, accompanied by the tender caption: 'As one chapter ends, another begins'.
Leigh-Anne and husband Andre Gray, tied the knot in a romantic Jamaican ceremony in 2023. They are already parents to four-year-old twin daughters born in August 2021.
While the couple have famously chosen to keep their young daughters' identities private, fans took to social media during Saturday's show to praise the star's glowing confidence, stage presence, and bold maternity fashion choices.
A Stellar Weekend at Brighton Pride 2026
Leigh-Anne's dazzling set formed a major highlight of the opening day of Brighton & Hove Pride 2026. The event is celebrating its landmark 35th anniversary as the United Kingdom's largest and most famous LGBTQ+ celebration.
An estimated 300,000 spectators lined the streets of the East Sussex coastal city earlier in the day for the colourful annual Pride Parade before flocking to Preston Park.
Saturday's stellar lineup also featured electrifying main-stage performances from Brit Award-winning sensation RAYE, pop icon Jessie J, Self Esteem, and G Flip. The crowd was also treated to a highly anticipated DJ set from global drag legend RuPaul.
The weekend celebrations are set to conclude on Sunday with headline performances from music royalty Diana Ross, alongside Holly Johnson, Paris Hilton, and Mel C.
For Leigh-Anne Pinnock, her vibrant, bejewelled Pride performance stands as a powerful celebration of motherly pride, female empowerment, and artistic strength, proving once again why she remains one of British pop music's most captivating live performers.
