Arabella Chi looked radiant as she attended the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning global film premiere in London on Thursday, just a week before her due date. 

The former Love Island star, 34, who is expecting a baby girl in May with boyfriend Billy Henty, displayed her bump in a chic cream midi dress. 

Her stylish ensemble featured a high neckline, long sleeves, a figure-hugging silhouette, and ruched detailing at the side. 

The model added height with a pair of strappy white stiletto heels and carried a mini silver woven-textured handbag for her essentials. 

To complete the look, she wore her blonde tresses in a slick half-up, half-down hairstyle, accessorising with a stack of gold rings and matching teardrop earrings. 

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is the eighth and final instalment in the long-running franchise, wrapping up the two-part storyline that began with Dead Reckoning Part One.

Tom Cruise is back in the lead role as Ethan Hunt, joined by returning favourites Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff and Henry Czerny. 

The film also introduces a host of new stars, including Bob Odenkirk, Parks & Recreation star Nick Offerman, Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham, Ozark actress Janet McTeer and Katy O’Brian.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is set to hit theatres on May 17. 

Arabella’s outing comes after she showed off her blossoming baby bump during a gym workout on Tuesday.  

The reality TV star has regularly updated her followers throughout her pregnancy as she remains determined to keep her body ‘balanced and strong’.

In her latest update on Instagram, Arabella challenged herself with a full-body workout while sporting a cream bodysuit, which flaunted her huge bump. 

Matching her bodywear with a coordinated hat and a pair of white socks, the mum-to-be initially filmed herself squatting with a weight before completing some leg curls using a machine.

She also trained her back and triceps before toning up her chest with some inclined dumbbell presses. 

Her stylish ensemble featured a high neckline, long sleeves, a figure-hugging silhouette, and ruched detailing at the side

And it seems like the hard work is paying off, with Arabella writing that she feels the ‘fittest I have done in a while’ in her caption.  

‘A bit of appreciation for @absolutebodysolutions & @connorobrienabs for keeping my mind and body balanced and strong throughout my pregnancy,’ she added.

‘Iv been training twice a week with them and despite being 39 weeks pregnant I feel the fittest I have done in a while.

‘Down to Connor putting together a strategised pre-natal programme together for me over the past 6 months.

‘It’s now time to slow down while we wait patiently for the princess to arrive but I’m already excited to step back in the gym post baby for the post natal transformation.’ 

With Arabella now 39 weeks pregnant, the birth of her first child with businessman boyfriend Billy is expected this month.

In a recent interview with MailOnline, Arabella confirmed that she will show her ‘little princess’ on social media despite many celebrities opting not to for privacy reasons. 

Speaking at Carmex’s Pots & Prosecco lunch in late April, she said: ‘Pregnancy has been fine, but it is getting tougher now at the end. It is the tiredness, and she’s heavy. I’m ready now.’

Sharing why she will show her baby on Instagram, Arabella added: ‘Me and Billy have had the conversation about showing her on social media as we both have to agree and we’ve decided we will.

‘My life is very much open and on social media and she’s going to be my little princess, so I want to show her.’

The Love Island beauty has described her pregnancy as ‘extra special’ after her ongoing battle with an incurable condition.  

Arabella suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – a lifelong hormonal imbalance characterised by ovarian cysts and irregular or excessive menstrual bleeding – which could have made it difficult for her to become a mother.

‘When I found out I was pregnant, it was magical,’ she told The Mirror.

‘With my PCOS, I don’t know if I’ll be able to have more children, so she’s special.

‘If you’d have said to me a year ago that I would be having a baby, I would have laughed in your face.’

Arabella first gained fame when she entered the Love Island villa in 2015.  

After a stint on both the original show and on series 1 of Love Island: All Stars, Arabella went public with her and Billy’s relationship in October of last year after they met through mutual friends.
