Kat Von D shows hint of her baby bump in black lace dress as she is joined by husband Leafar Seyer

She faced backlash after announcing she won't be vaccinating her unborn son.

But Kat Von D looked to be taking the criticism in stride as she was spotted out and about with her husband Leafar Seyer in Los Angeles on Friday.

The 36-year-old stunner rocked a unique black lace maternity dress as her 42-year-old beau dressed the part in black as well.

Daring to impress, the tattoo artist swathed her growing baby bump in the couture gown made of ethereal dark fabric as they wrapped their arms around each other.

Earlier this month, Kat sparked controversy in an Instagram post about why she and Reyes, who are both vegans, have chosen to vaccinate the boy they're expecting.

'If you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions, and curse you - try being an openly pregnant vegan on Instagram, having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula, who has the intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations,' she wrote, adding she's been inundated with 'unsolicited advice' for her views.

Fans didn't take kindly to the anti-vaccine news.

One Instagram user said: 'Have fun literally killing your child.'

While, another wrote: 'Not vaccinating your child is the business of the public because you are putting others in danger. Measles, chicken pox, and other diseases are deadly to children. To not vaccinate is just ignorant in my opinion.'

Kat responded to her angered fans on Thursday with a second Instagram post.

'My husband and I are NOT anti-vaxxers,' she wrote. 'We are not against vaccines. Just because we are hesitant about injecting our baby with specific chemicals and toxins does not mean we are anti anything.

'As a soon-to-be-parent [and especially as a first-time-mom] I do feel it my responsibility to listen to my motherly instinct and do my research.'

She added: 'Our personal medical records are no one’s business. So, perhaps before any of you feel inspired to harass us, spew hatred, or send ill-will our way, I hope you would try and understand that this is our first child together, and we are simply just trying our best.'
