Suki Waterhouse has admitted she makes more effort with her appearance since becoming a mother because she worries about being judged by other parents when she is out with her daughter.

The British singer and actress, 34, welcomed her first child with fiancé Robert Pattinson, 40, in 2024 and has been balancing motherhood with her music and acting career. Speaking to People at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York, Suki explained how raising her toddler has changed her approach to getting dressed, while attending the ceremony in a revealing Michel Kors Collection gown.

Suki said: "I'm maybe putting myself together a bit better than I ever used to."

She added: "Because it's embarrassing to be out in public with a child and look not put together. You know what I mean? Maybe I'm trying harder so the other moms don't judge me."

The actress, who played keyboardist Karen Sirko in the musical drama Daisy Jones the Six, attended the fashion industry event wearing a dress featuring cut-out details at the waist and a thigh-high slit.

Explaining the look she had chosen for the evening, Suki said: "It's giving just classy, elegant woman, honestly. No fuss, no frills."

The annual CFDA Fashion Awards recognise achievements in American fashion, with designers, models and celebrities gathering in New York for the ceremony.

Suki has been a regular presence at fashion events throughout her career, having first established herself as a model before moving into acting and music.

Her comments come as she continues to navigate parenthood alongside Robert, who became internationally famous playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight films before taking on the title role in The Batman.

The couple have kept their daughter's name private since welcoming her in 2024, although Suki has discussed aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and family life in interviews.

Speaking to British Vogue shortly after becoming a mother, Suki revealed she had chosen to learn the sex of her baby before giving birth.

She said: "I wish I hadn't wanted to find out."

Suki added: "But I needed to prepare myself mentally."

When she discovered she was expecting a daughter, Suki recalled becoming emotional and immediately contacting her own mother.

She said: "I was like, 'Oh my God, am I going to have to go through what [you] went through with me?'"

Reflecting on her teenage years, Suki added: "I was just such a little b****. [My mum] usually loves telling my terrible teenager stories, but she was like, 'No, no, you were great. You were amazing, you were fine'."

The singer has also spoken about the practical challenges of raising a young child while maintaining a career that involves travelling and performing.

In a recent interview with The Times, Suki described herself as a particularly organised parent who relies on routines to keep family life manageable.

She said: "I'm quite structured, I'm quite Instagram mum. I'm like 'The schedule!' And by the way, I love the schedule. It means that she's happy. And it means that the craziness and the chaos of being on tour works, because I stick to it."

Suki also discussed the difficulty of spending time away from her daughter when work commitments take her away from home.

She said: "Your body is basically on fire to be close to your baby."

The singer added: "And that doesn't really go away."

Suki released her second studio album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, in 2024, following her debut album I Can't Let Go and the success of her single Good Looking.

Her acting credits include Love, Rosie, The Bad Batch and the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel Daisy Jones and the Six, which starred Riley Keough, 37, and Sam Claflin, 40.

Robert, meanwhile, has continued his film career following his appearance as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves's The Batman, with the actor also starring in Bong Joon-ho's science-fiction film Mickey 17.

Suki previously announced her pregnancy during a performance at the Corona Capital music festival in Mexico in 2023, revealing her baby bump to the audience.
