Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively were practically bursting with happiness as they made their grand entrance to a White House state dinner honoring Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The 39-year-old actor, who hails from Vancouver, Canada, looked sharp in a midnight blue suit and white bow tie as he stopped by on Thursday with his stunning wife on his arm.

As smart as Ryan looked, however, his leading lady once more threatened to steal the spotlight with her leggy look.

Blake looked sensational in a silky grey Ralph & Russo gown that featured a plunging neckline, long centre slit, and a bow that cinched at her waist.

However, as she walked, her slashed-to-the thigh dress revealed that the pretty actress was wearing Spanx.

Clearly the 28-year-old, who gave birth to daughter James just 15 months ago, felt the need for a little extra support around the tummy. 

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants star styled her long golden hair down in loose waves and looked glam with her long violet earrings and a boxy silver clutch by Marchesa.

Ryan seemed to have pulled out all the stops to sharpen up his appearance, slicking his brunette hair across his forehead.

The actor, however, kept a rugged touch with his unshaven beard.
