Blake Lively in Carolina Herrera at ‘The Shallows’ premiere: cute or meh?

Here are some photos of Blake Lively at last night’s New York premiere of The Shallows, the Blake-Meets-A-Shark movie. Or the Blake-On-A-Rock movie. Whichever! So many of Blake’s media tours play out the same way – she sticks around Manhattan for a week and does wall-to-wall press, including trips to multiple morning shows and late-night shows, radio interviews and more, all with extravagant costume changes for the paparazzi. It’s a fashion show and a press tour all at once! And personally, I don’t think Blake’s premiere look was her best look of the week. This dress is Carolina Herrera.

Normally, I like Herrera’s designs a great deal. She’s known for very classy, sophisticated looks. And maybe I would feel differently about this if Blake was not pregnant? Because it always makes me uncomfortable to see a pregnant woman in a corset or any kind of waist-cinched dress or outfit. Mostly because it just LOOKS uncomfortable. You have a baby growing in that area. It’s fine if you don’t have a small waist.

Blake accessorized with a pair of earrings that Beyonce wore to the CFDAs several weeks back. Blake was so happy to wear something that had touched the Beysus too. Blake told E!:

“Well, she wore them to the CFDAs. Yes! We’re the same person tonight! I am Beyoncé. I’m going to drop the most revolutionary album of all time. I feel like I am at least. Well c’mon if this movie could just be a drop in the bucket to what Lemonade does to my heart, than I am happy, happy, happy.”

She also told E! News that she was just joking with her “officially breeders” remark on the Today show on Monday, saying: “Anything you say people are going to sensationalize it but yeah I made a joke…I don’t know…I speak nonsense.” That’s the best thing she’s said all week!

Meanwhile, remember how Ryan Reynolds told a story earlier this year about how he fell for Blake? He said that they were friends and they went on a double date with other people, and there were sparks all of a sudden. Blake corrected Ryan’s story this week:

“[That date] went well for him. I don’t know about fireworks for me. No, yeah, we were such good friends for so long and we both got to know each other as friends so when we were both single, we were still trying to find each other’s [perfect date]. ‘Oh, who would be good for you?’ We’d sit around being like, ‘Oh jeez, do you know anyone?’ And it didn’t click for, I mean, a good year and a half. Like, ‘Oh hey, wait, hold on. We could date!”

Bulls—t. When Ryan told the story, he made sure to provide a timeline, saying that this double date happened about a year after they met on Green Lantern, where it was widely believed that Blake was making a play for him, even though he was very much married to Scarlett Johansson at the time. I guess that’s what bugs me – Blake acts like they were just two single friends the whole time. No. He was married when their “friendship” first began. And not for nothing, but one second she was with Leonardo DiCaprio and the next minute she was with Ryan. Which is still funny to me that she did that.

    Oh this movie is an autobiography of Blake? I thought it was about sharks.

  2. Abbess Tansy says:

    Hmm, the movie name seems to fit her perfectly.

  3. savu says:

    I do actually love that she geeked about Beyonce’s earrings.

    I feel like Blake is somebody I’d be friends with and we say ridiculous things that we don’t mean, but know they’re NOT for public consumption.

  4. Kiliki says:

    I don’t believe anything she says anymore.

  5. Roxane says:

    God, she really looks like a real-life barbie.

  6. cindy says:

    The woody Allen comments are all that I hear now when I see this woman. I wish I had something nice to say.

  7. Misti says:

    I can believe this.
    Ryan sowed oats. He actually dated Agnes Fisher and Charlize Theron post-divorce. By then Scarlett was already with Sean Penn.
    Ryan also had a couple of months fling with his French Safe House co star- (I forget her name). So it’s funny there’s this impression of him as a lovelorn, baying at the moon dude who marries everyone he dates.

    And Blake did like Leo. She – like many of her peers – had never hidden the fact that Jack Dawson was her biggest crush. He’s the biggest star in the world and she was very happy to nab him.

    • Kimmy says:

      The way Blake played Leo is still one of the most interesting things about her and probably one of the most hilarious things about Leo. God, that summer was amazing for gossip!!!

  8. Squiggisbig says:

    I still am unsure as to why this movie was made…

    Also, Blake is so full of shit about the friendship timeline. Ryan is a serial proposer. She was just waiting to make her move. The man would probably propose to a ham sandwich with the right timing.

    • Kiliki says:

      He IS a serial proposer!

      • OrangeCrush says:

        I still think it’s crazy that he was engaged to Alanis Morrisette at one point. I mean… I’m sure he was great psychoanalytic fodder for her music, but he doesn’t seem like the type to go for the complicated deep thinkers.

      • Lily says:

        I agree with Squiggisbig. Who wants to watch that movie? She’s so full of herself:
        “I am Beyoncé. I’m going to drop the most revolutionary album of all time. I feel like I am at least. Well c’mon if this movie could just be a drop in the bucket to what Lemonade does to my heart, than I am happy, happy, happy.”

        Her husband is a womanizer and a serial proposer.

  9. Rocío says:

    Isn’t unhealthy to wear someone else’s earrings? Just asking.

    • Almondjoy says:

      Hmm. I’ve bought used earrings from vintage and consignment shops. I always use my own backs though and I don’t wear the earrings until I’ve soaked and cleaned them.

    • Capt. Mo says:

      LOL, no, chances are that they cleaned those earrings, sat in a dry, cold safe (which is not a hospitable environment, and they were probably made out of a precious metal which has proven anti-microbial properties naturally (but I doubt Beyonce has a bacterial ear hole infection anyway).

  10. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    She is not nearly charming enough for the type of celebrity she wants to be.

    I have a feeling she’s eternally waiting for the press to say how adorable and cute all the funny things she says is and is then annoyed when people just find of lame or questionable.

    Also she’s starting to come off as a bit of a liar/oblivious to everything happening around her including the things coming out of her own mouth.

    • Grace says:

      I think you’re right.

      Also, awful dress. She wants to be thought as fashionable but her clothes are so meh.

      • The Eternal Side-Eye says:

        The dress is bizarre.

        There’s a compromise to be had between being pregnant and being fashionable and she has not found it.

        I will say the plastic surgery she’s had on her face is impeccable.

      • Lama Bean says:

        Her plastic surgery is indeed impeccable.

    • Bridget says:

      She comes across as a youngest child who has been told her whole life how wonderful and special she is, and is just genuinely used to everyone treating her that way.

      • Flowerchild says:

        ^ Very much this. It also seem like she feels she has to remind everyone how special and “pretty” she is.

  11. haley1020 says:

    why is hollyweird still trying to make this woman happen like i don’t get her appeal at all

  12. Elizabeth says:

    I think the dress would have been cute as an actual maternity dress. The bra bit, with a raised waistline and the tulle skirt just not as full in back.

  13. Bridget says:

    I agree with Kaiser on the dress. It just doesn’t look right when a regular dress like this is used as a maternity dress, the proportions are all wrong.

  14. Jacqueline says:

    The bust of the dress looks like a trash bag.

    @The Eternal Side-Eye hit the nail right on the head
