the Blake Lively effect

The moment the news came in that Blake and Ryan were having a child, we all knew immediately; Blake is going to show the prettiest and most stylish pregnancy ever. It started with the photo on her own website, in which she stands in a dreamy landscape with her long blonde hair flowing and lovingly wraps her hands around her own belly. She is wearing a skirt and wrap top by Sam & Lavi, both sold out within a week. And so it will go with everything, because Blake is Blake and secretly we all want to be just like Blake.

Last week she made her first red carpet appearance in a pregnant state at the God’s Love We Deliver 2014 Golden Heart Awards in New York, wearing a floor-length dress by Michael Kors with long sleeves, a nude base color, and sprinkled with silver and purple sparkles. A mega success, of course. What struck me especially was that she is so incredibly pregnant, as in, the belly is quite gigantic and that while she is just past the three-month mark. Celebrities always have that magical ability to be *suddenly* pregnant and once it is known, it seems like they have been on the way for three years. By the way, dressing nicely with a baby bump is not a piece of cake for everyone, Doutzen, for example, totally didn't know what to do clothing-wise.

Another favorite from the maternity wardrobe is a coat by Michelle Kim that Blake immediately bought in 4 different colors because choosing is also something. “I would do the same. Right away.” Jet exclaims about this because she is now scouring the internet looking for that coat because she has to have it too. The Blake effect in full swing we can say. “And then I want her too” and look there we go. In short, pregnant or not, all girls want to be just like Blake, if only because we all want to be with Ryan.
