Blake Lively in September 2022. Taylor Hill / Contributor/Getty Images Blake Lively is a fashion icon, so it makes sense that her maternity style is stunning. Over the years, she’s worn sparkling gowns and daring minidresses while pregnant.

The actor has also used red-carpet appearances to announce that she’s expecting. Blake Lively publicly showed her maternity style for the first time at a 2014 benefit event. Blake Lively at a benefit in New York City on October 16, 2014.

The dress had long sleeves, a drop-waist skirt with pleats, and a purple-and-white floral print from top to bottom. A few days later, she hit a red carpet in a pastel-yellow maternity gown with a plunging neckline.

For accessories, the actor wore multiple diamond rings and yellow crystal earrings. Days before giving birth, the actor wore a backless, form-fitting gown at a L’Oreal Paris event. Blake Lively at a L’Oreal Paris event in New York City on December 2, 2014.

In 2016, Lively attended the Cannes Film Festival in a stunning gown that showed her baby bump — though she hadn’t formally announced her second pregnancy yet.
