In June 2016, Blake Lively was deep in the glow of her second pregnancy and continued her impressive maternity style streak while promoting the American survival horror film The Shallows in New York City.
Interestingly, while Blake is best known for her loyalty to Christian Louboutin’s iconic heels, this time she didn’t turn to the French designer.

Blake Lively Radiates Maternity Glamour in a Sequined Versace Dress
The American actress stepped out of the Crosby Hotel before her appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” She looked hot in a skin-tight black dress, which showcased her burgeoning baby bump.

Blake picked a festive-looking midi dress from Versace’s Fall 2016 collection. It featured cutouts and sheer panels down the sides, with shimmering paillette sequins in blue, red, and white.
The slinky frock also had a revealing plunging neckline and a strategically placed slit below the chest.

Blake Lively Shares a Cringe-Worthy Moment With President Obama
Blake Lively shared a self-deprecating story with Seth Meyers about meeting President Obama at a dinner and completely blanking on her planned speech.
Instead of delivering the thoughtful words she had rehearsed, she nervously blurted out random comments—including that he once left her husband a voicemail that was “deleted”—before laughing at how spectacularly awkward the encounter turned out to be.

Blake Lively Completes Her Versace Look With Giuseppe Zanotti “Lauren” Sandals
Blake added color to her ensemble with teal earrings, beaded bracelets, and a couple of statement rings.
Taylor Swift’s good friend wore her long tresses in voluminous curls and completed the look with dark mascara, eyeliner, and pink lipstick.
Aside from a series of stunning designer dresses, Blake has also been giving us serious shoe envy. This time, she strutted her stuff in a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti “Lauren” sandals.

These caged sandals are made of black patent leather and feature six buckled straps. Most noteworthy were the 4.7-inch caged, chunky heels, made from twisted wire and featuring steel stiletto heels inside.
