Blake Lively may be heavily pregnant with her second child with Ryan Reynolds, but that hasn’t slowed her down at all. The 28-year-old actress was seen in New York City on Wednesday morning, leaving her hotel in style, wearing a navy mini dress that showcased her legs.
Her dress had a shoulder cutout and she paired it with strappy black leather heels adorned with studs. She accessorized with large gold hoop earrings, multiple rings, and a matching quilted gold clutch. Blake’s signature blonde hair was styled in curls, and her makeup was natural, with a hint of pink on her lips.
Blake made headlines earlier after attending the Cannes Film Festival in a stunning Atelier Versace gown that highlighted her curves. She captioned a front and back photo with the line, ‘L.A. face with an Oakland bооty,’ from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1992 song “Baby Got Back,” which drew some criticism. She later explained on a radio show that she was celebrating her body and didn’t mеan to offend anyone, saying, “I was proud of it… It’s nice to have a nice curve and not look like you’re starving to dеath.”
Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds announced in mid-April that they were expecting their second child. A source told People magazine, “Blake is absolutely thrilled and so is Ryan.” Their first child, a daughter named James, was born in December 2014. Blake had previously expressed her desire for more children, stating that she looks forward to how one child influences the other as her family grows.
Lately, Blake has been busy promoting her upcoming film “The Shallows,” in which she plays a surfer attacked by a great white shark, leaving her stranded on a rock in the ocean, just 200 yards from shore. The film is set to be released in U.S. theaters on Thursday.
