Blake Lively is NAILING maternity fashion.
The 27-year-old, who is pregnant to equally gorgeous human Ryan Reynolds, appeared on the red carpet in the chicest of chic skin-tight black dresses, in the process she schooled pregnant women everywhere on how to dress a watermelon.
Well, that’s how to dress a watermelon if you have stylists on speed dial, a fat bank account, zero back fat and a perfectly round bump.
Look at her. JUST. LOOK. AT. HER.
As a fellow preggo, who is trying to track down something, ANYTHING, to wear to a family wedding, I half admire her and half feel like this:
Aside from a superhumanly gorgeous Blake Lively, the week in fashion has brought us some real gems. There was Taylor Swift’s escaping cleavage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Posh & Becks at the British Fashion Awards, and Lindsay Lohan wearing only what Lindsay Lohan can wear outside of a Dancing with the Stars rehearsal; a chunky gold sequin and hot pink feathered dress.
Who gets your vote for best dressed this week?

fyi she also nailed ben affleck a few years ago.
She looks as though she may not have put on as many kilos as the doctors might like. Was she dieting? Seriously mamamia let's make advanced pregnancy a no/go zone for "competitive hotness "!
Actually, pregnant women only need an extra 200 calories a day – equivalent to a couple of pieces of toast. Plenty of women go through pregnancy without gaining huge amounts of weight. With both my children, I didn't gain any weight at all other than the weight of my babies, plus the fluid and placenta and my children were 3.8kg and 3.6kg at birth. I certainly didn't care about looking hot during my pregnancy – I was just eating and exercising in much the same way that I do when I'm not pregnant. I think a lot of women who gain excessive amounts of weight do so because they're used to dieting most of the time, then use pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything and everything. Otherwise, if you're only eating an extra 200 calories a day, it wouldn't make sense that you'd put on 20+kg in nine months.
I have a six month old and back to my pre-pregnancy weight (still not my ideal weight tho). I suffer of lower back pain and when finding out I was pregnant decided to work out and exercise to avoid any issues during those 9 months, best decision ever, I only did some light weights, core and back strength exercises (supervised by a PT) and walked A LOT. I ate sensibly - never believed on that saying "eat for two" BS, and wasn't looking to look hot, but people noticed that I didn't put much weight on, except for the last couple of weeks due to water retention, my doctor was happy with my progress too. The thing is, keeping active and eating as normal portions as possible and choosing healthy food (fruits and veggies) and drinking lots of water during your pregnancy makes a big difference for you and your baby in the end.
