Blake Lively’s promotional maternity style: stunning, underwhelming or so-so?

Most useless bodyguard ever.

A photo posted by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on

People are absolutely losing their minds about Blake Lively in this ^^ ensemble. This is what Blake wore on Tuesday night, and it’s actually two different dresses. The sparkly “base” dress in solid blue is Diane Von Furstenberg, and then Blake layered a Penelope wrap dress on top of it. Ordinarily, the wrap dress would have been wrapped completely around someone not pregnant, but since Blake is so preggo, it’s more like a loose, sleeveless duster coat. She does look beautiful, and both dresses are pretty great.

As for Blake’s second pregnancy, it seems to be just as easy as her first. She appeared on Live with Kelly on Tuesday and Blake said this pregnancy is “much easier” than her first. She also said: “It’s a lot faster. You get bigger faster, too, which has been nice to try to fit into clothing strategically. I’m usually home in pajamas all the time. I feel good. I feel fancy.”

And since every Blake Lively promotional tour is basically just a fashion show interspersed with stupid quotes, here are some photos of Blake out on Wednesday in a fresh, summery look. This dress is Valentino, and her heels are Louboutins. Blake should just stay pregnant. Like, she should just be pregnant every year, Duggar-style. She’s one of the prettiest pregnant women ever.

    Does she need a stylist?

  2. Lauren says:

    She looks amazing pregnant! She always looks stylish even with the huge baby bump, unlike Kim K.

    • Farrahh says:

      Wellllllll, they are different sizes and have different body types, so that’s a kind of a crappy thing to say.

      (Note: I share Kim’s body type/size and I would hate it if people compared pregnant me with a 6 foot blonde bombshell. Harsh.)

      • Amelia says:

        I interpreted that as shade on Kim’s questionable maternity style (ie, uncomfortable, poor fitting clothing choices) as opposed to her body shape which isn’t really under her control.
        Even Blake couldn’t pull off that nude, lycra(?) strange clingy dress Kim wore while little Saint was cooking.

      • TreadStyle says:

        Yeah I think it’s meant as her choice of maternity style, not body type. I like both of Blakes looks here! But her style had been hit or miss for me on this promotional tour.

      • Lauren says:

        I’m short and curvy like Kim K and proud of it, not a six foot blonde bombshell. I was talking about Kim’s fashion choices while pregnant, I don’t body shame people thank you.

      • LOL says:

        “I was talking about Kim’s fashion choices while pregnant.” Kim’s fashion choices? Heels and boobs? Look at Blake… Heels and boobs.

        “Kim’s questionable maternity style…” Blah, blah, blah…

      • graymatters says:

        B.L. and K.K. both emphasize boobs and wear high heels during pregnancy. Only K.K. considers sausage casing to be fashionable.

      • qwerty says:

        She never mentioned their bodies and it’s only you who assumes she thinks KKnlooks bad because of her height/weight, so it says more about your fatphobia (or whatever) than hers, lol.

  3. Jegede says:

    Don’t like the DVF dress at all.

    Love the Valentino dress.

  4. CornyBlue says:

    Since her career is supposedly taking off shouldn’t she focus on her career and not stay pregnant ? She looks good tho.

  5. Meme says:

    Blander than oatmeal

    • Carol says:

      Right? I like the outfits she selects and on anyone else I think they would look sharp. But there is something about Blake that makes everything she wears look like it came from a mall. She can make a funky outfit look like it came from Talbots. She is pretty though.

      • qwerty says:

        Agreed. At the same time, everything looks like she put soo much thought in it. Her clothes always wear her.

  6. LinaLamont says:

    Always hated DVF. Never considered her a designer. Big fucking deal– the wrap dress, which I always thought looked awful on everyone.
    Valentino looks great on BL.
    I stand by my assessment… BL is someone I have zero respect for who looks great in most clothes.

  7. HeyThere! says:

    Blake looks stunning pregnant! I have to say, she’s making me miss my baby bump! I loved being pregnant(no morning sickness or anything)! Dressing my little bump and sexy cleavage was a blast! Honestly, there were days I never felt sexier than when I was pregnant. LOL But like her I am tall and thin hourglassed shape. My bump stated small until the very end. Man I miss being pregnant…maybe we will try again soon?!

    The colors on Blake in the top photo are great. I don’t think it’s necessarily the dress, but the bump and the colors!

  8. Bishg says:

    I think Blake can do no wrong in the fashion department. Even when I am not crazy about her outfit, she always looks great. She clearly enjoys dressing up and picking accessories on her own. Now, if only she would avoid making dumb statements about pervy directors… i

  9. Isa says:

    It always amazes me when I see pregnant women in heels. Between the swollen feet and lightning crotch they were way too dangerous for me.

    • Looty says:

      I find it astounding too. She looks so comfortable, how?

    • Not every pregnant woman gets swollen ankles, I never did. The only thing that swelled on me was my belly and boobs. I went through five pregnancies and I loved being pregnant and felt like I looked my best. I thought I carried well and I’m short, 5’2″. Like Blake I wore heels and used my regular dresses that could adapt to my belly until about the 5th month then I grudgingly started wearing maternity clothes.

  10. Melissa Melissa says:

    Blake looks so amazing that she makes her some of her questionable fashion choices look better than they actually are.

  11. Jess says:

    Who cares what she wars. She’s consistently defended a pedophile. She’s dead to me. What an entitled, eyes shut brat.

  12. Dani says:

    She’s one of the prettiest pregnant woman ever because she has the means for a hair/makeup team every day as long as enough money/endorsements to receive or purchase high end designer clothing and shoes. if she were like any other woman, she wouldn’t be as ‘stunning’ while pregnant.

  13. amilu says:

    I think she looks great. She and Nicky Hilton have just about scrubbed Kim K’s maternity wardrobe from my mind. *shudder*

  14. Misti says:

    Blake looks gorgeous in the Valentino.
    That print reminds me of Matthew Williamson in his peak

  15. ALittleGlitter says:

    I actually was fortunate enough to see Blake the other day coming out of the Crosby Street Hotel and she looked fantastic. She is taller and totally flawless in real life. Her skin was glowing. I have always thought she was gorgeous but seeing her in person was totally dazzling. It was like seeing a unicorn. A really tall one.
