Blake Lively’s NYC maternity street style: nonsensical, weird or cute?
Sophia Bowman Here are some more photos of Blake Lively out and about over the weekend. I covered Blake’s weird short-skirt and poncho-coat ensemble yesterday. The outfits in these photos make even less sense. The short-sleeved grey coat is by Michelle Kim, and the Mail says it’s Blake’s new favorite and that she has the coat in grey, camel and burgundy. The coat is fine and I probably would buy it for myself if it was on sale. The rest of the outfit? My God. It’s like pregnancy has turned her into Mrs. Roper.
Blake was also out with her friends from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I’m including some pics of Blake with Amber Tamblyn. It’s so weird to me that they’re still friends! But it’s sweet. Blake, Amber and Alexis Bledel went out together to America Ferrera in Lips Together, Teeth Apart on Broadway.
Meanwhile, the UK gossips (how would they know?) claim that Blake is super-committed to having a healthy, active pregnancy:
Blake Lively is said to be doing Pilates and yoga every day of her pregnancy. As she gears up to be a mom, the blonde beauty is said to be taking her diet very seriously.
“Blake wants her pregnancy to go as smoothly as possible so is avoiding processed food and does Pilates and yoga every day,” a source told British magazine Closer.
She has also followed in the footsteps of other female celebrities such as Drew Barrymore in hiring a doula, a non-medical expert to help guide a woman through her labour and offer advice afterwards.
“She hopes the doula will help for the first few months of being a mom,” the insider added.
She probably is doing prenatal yoga – a lot of Hollywood and non-Hollywood women seem to be doing prenatal yoga these days and from what I’ve seen, it really does help them “snap back” after a few months. With Pilates, I’m not so sure, but whatever. I think gossips are just trying to paint Blake as The New Goop, like she’s going to be condescending to everyone about food and diet. While I think Blake is annoying (and maybe even dumber than we originally considered), I actually don’t think she’s going to be, like, Goop-level judgy.
