Speaking of her expectant-mom glam, Wilde previously told PEOPLE that her favorite everGolden Globeslook waswhen she was six months pregnantwith her first child: sonOtis, now 9.

“It’s just a nice moment to share with my son in a funny way,” she said. “We went there together. "

TheBooksmartdirector added, “Karla Welchis my stylist, and she’s really brilliant. And together, we showed that pregnant women can still be sexy. And there’s no need to disguise yourself in lots of layers and Gucci made a beautiful dress.”

Welch said that she and Wilde are close enough now that there’s little back-and-forth ondeciding what to wear for events. But to get the vibe for each event just right, they still have a touch base. Welch described Wilde as having a “bohemian spirit” — and the pro knows no matter what she will always kill it in a body-hugging, revealing or sheer dress, likewhat she wore for the Vanity Fair Oscar Partythis year.

“She always looks bangin', " Welch raved about her client, adding that it’s been interesting watching her go from “ingénue actress to full-on amazing director.”

“She’s obviously very sexy,” added the stylist, who also works with stars likeTracee Ellis RossandSarah Paulson. “But she’s also a smart, powerful woman, which is fun to play off of.”
