Blake Lively’s NYC maternity street style: nonsensical, weird or cute?

FFN_Lively_Blake_TeachFF_101814_51561983

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.

[From The Belfast Telegraph]

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.

    Not cute at all.

  2. Belle Epoch says:

    I would not call the paps if I were wearing that!

  3. Stacie says:

    I love that all the girls from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies are still friends and support each other.

    I may be in the minority, but I’m really enjoying Blake’s pregnancy style. She’s got a model’s body anyway, so she really looks good in anything.

    • Kitten says:

      I dig it too. Much to my dismay, mixed patterns is obviously a thing this year, but she’s managed to pull it off better than others.

    • Jegede says:

      Me too. Love their friendship

      Funny @ Blake being the youngest of the Sisterhood girls, but the first to get pregnant.

      I would have bet the house on it to be the azure eyed Alexis

    • FLORC says:

      I like they’re all still friends too. That’s sweet to hear.
      I just hate that style and I usually love her style.

      TOK
      That mixed patterns trend just looks awful imo. Though she does wear it better than most.

    • Sunny says:

      It really is sweet that they are all still so close. I kind of love that they are BFF’s in real life. I always wonder if their men get along. I can totally see Amber’s husband and Alexis’ husband getting along but I can’t quiet picture Ryan fitting in with those dudes at all.

      As to Blake, she is beautiful as ever and has the body type that can wear anything but that jump-suit is straight up awful.

      • Oxy says:

        Ryan and David Cross (Amber’s husband) are close; they tend to do couple trips etc. Not sure about the others.
        Love that they are still friends and so close.

    • Becks says:

      I also like the whimsical outfits! They are so cute and fun. She looks lovely and happy.
      On a snarky note, is her old nose growing back? Is that possible after plastic surgery? Would pregnancy cause the nose to get larger? I’ve heard of feet growing during pregnancy, but a nose? Regardless, her original nose looks way better.

      • Anony says:

        I have heard that pregnancy can change your facial features including your nose which may become broader.

    • littlestar says:

      I like that they are all still friends too! Very very sweet, and says a lot about all of them if they have indeed remained friends (I’m hoping this isn’t a publicity stunt lol).

      • Sunny says:

        No, they are all still friends in RL from what I can gather. They all attended each others weddings( Amber Tamblyn did one of the readings at America’s wedding and Blake helped Amber pick her wedding dress) and occasionally they have been spotted through the years at lunch,at plays, on girls weekends, at each others events. They seem to be super supportive of each other.

  4. Kiddo says:

    What I will say about those clothes: Too much Blake Lively.

  5. becki says:

    Oh girrrrl, just…NO. Sorry. Pregnancy can be cute, but those patterns! YIKES! Mrs. roper LOL!!

  6. Lee says:

    She is wearing this stuff to promote Preserve. What she’s been wearing in these latest photo op is sold on her website…and these are really uglu clothes imo…
    She’s become so utterly annoying and pretentious!

    • emmie_a says:

      Exactly. It’s not “pregnancy style” It’s ADVERTISING.
      She also dressed her Traveling Pants costars in her overpriced Preserve junk.

      • Lee says:

        lol! Yep, I saw Amber wearing thay ugly coat Blake wore a few days ago, only in black&white…
        Odd she didnt fly to toronto with Ryan for the Canadian Walk of Fame awards. I know she is pregnant but many pregnant women still fly….Reese W. flew to cannes when she was expecting. I guess she isnt selling any gowns on preserve, therefore she had no way to pimp her lifestyle blog on the red carpet…!

      • Jegede says:

        Lmao – and if she flew to Toronto you would still accuse her of hogging the limelight, taking attention from Ryan, hawking her pregnancy and pimping her blog to Canadians.

        And was Rachel’s other half there?
        She got a star too or is this only about Ryan’s other half?

      • emmie_a says:

        Lee: She didn’t go to the awards ceremony with her husband because Preserve isn’t selling evening wear. Yet. Ha

      • Luciana says:

        I hope she’s giving them freebies and not ask them to return iy afterwards.

    • Lee says:

      @Jegede

      First of all, we dont even know if Rachel is still with that guy she was papped a few monts ago, plus, it is not like Blake stayed home in these days, the same night ryan was awarded she was attending some art gallery opening with Amber and the pic was spread via instagram, so she still managed to get attention and to promote preserve by making Amber wear some ugly coat… But to each his own!

  7. Lee says:

    She is going to milk that pregnancy to the last drop. Isn’t she?!

    • FLORC says:

      You don’t have to watch it until the last drop. Although, this happens in nearly every celeb pregnancy. They all milk it. They all use it as self promotion. And many, many continue that as their children grow up. Their children and tools for self promotion.
      Blake isn’t the 1st and she won’t be the last.

    • Lee says:

      I agree with my homonym!

    • Elle says:

      Yep. It’s making me miss Taylor Swift’s kitty pap strolls.

  8. Ollyholly says:

    I don’t know, what’s the big deal? She’s never had to dress a tummy like this, lots of women take a while to get their pregnancy style right. It’s a weird transition…

    She looks weird, but I always want to give pregnant women a pass. I don’t know why everyone needs to judge them nowadays. Let her dress how she wants.

  9. anna says:

    No hoop skirt with hummingbird pattern? I’m disappointed

    • Brittney B says:

      Hahaha, that would’ve been one way to answer the critics… go all out in Antebellum regalia for her pap struts.

  10. Mel M says:

    I guess I don’t understand the point of a short sleeved coat, it seems ironic to me. If I need a coat because it’s chilly out, I’ll pick one that has long sleeves.

    I feel the same way about puffy vests. If I need more layers for warmth my core is not that part of my body that need it, it’s my arms and hands.

    • FingerBinger says:

      What’s the point of a short sleeved sweater?

      • Dolce crema says:

        Well, I don’t do this, but you can wear it with long leather gloves, or over a long sleeved shirt. It would look good on some

    • sapphire says:

      I kind of agree. I do like the grey coat-until I saw how much her web site charges. BTW, is her webmaster on drugs? it’s the most poorly organized site selling celeb life style I’ve seen.

  11. Nessa says:

    We went months and months without a sighting, and now all do a sudden, she is getting papped daily. This girl is too much!

  12. Ramona says:

    Too bad there are no pictures of the other Travelling Pants Girls as the others are far more interesting and convey so much more depth and intelligence. Caught a fairly recent movie of Alexis Bledel’s this weekend – The Brass Teapot – and she gets more beautiful with age. Blake, although beautiful has remained the same just older and boring, boring, boring……..

  13. Courtney says:

    It’s so adorable that they are all still friends! Makes me like each of them more. They are all married now, aren’t they?

  14. Carrie says:

    I loved the coat from the other day, I would wear that. This outfit however makes NO sense. Wtf are those shorts?????

  15. L says:

    I love my prenatal yoga class (to be fair, I was practicing yoga for years before I got pregnant) It’s the only thing that helps with the back pain. Do some people really use it to ‘bounce back’ in pre-pregnancy form?

  16. Carrie says:

    Also whoever said her pregnancy style was going to be huge coats, boots and shorts the other day nailed it.

  17. poppy says:

    it isn’t possible for her to be dumber than originally considered since she obviously has a brain stem.

  18. Grrl says:

    The UK gossips know more than you think, they’ve been gossiping far longer than the US after all…

  19. Luciana says:

    The second outfit is a mess. I don’t get pregnant woman wearing hells. Varicose vains, darling!!!!

  20. Dolce crema says:

    For one, the 2 pattern outfit reminds me of Beyoncé in London , and I remember Beyoncé looking better . I think Blake was inspired by bey! But I didn’t care for any of the 4 prints on the 2 ladies. As a Blake fan the shorts outfit kinda disapoints me but she still looks good. The fancier outfit with the scarf is very nice. Has a retro feeling with the length of the onsie

  21. Ginger says:

    She’s a beautiful woman to be sure but I don’t like these outfits. Too each their own I suppose. It is sweet that they are all friends in real life. Never saw the films but I always support strong female relationships as they are so important!

  22. The Original G says:

    Maybe this is her version of slutty brownies?

  23. Barbara says:

    OMG, that puppy jumpsuit is one of the worst pieces of shit (can’t even label it clothes) that I’ve seen. TERRIBLE.
    Other than that I love her pregnancy clothes.
    And I think you guys are missing the order of the events. Blake finds things she like, then the brings them to Preserve, then she adverts them. She doesn’t need to advert something she doesn’t like because she could sell whatever she wants. Unless they’re already paying her to sell their stuff (when they look for her instead of she looking for them). If it’s already like that, so her business are doing even better than I thought. I still think she’s the one choosing though. But her hormones are definitely affecting her fashion taste. That puppy thing is horrendous.

  24. Mean Hannah says:

    I love that grey coat! Also, I think it’s cute that they are all still friends and from the two Instagram photos, the friendship looks easy and genuine.

  25. lemonbow says:

    Why is there so much hate for this girl? She seems completely harmless and I think she is adorable. The only explanation I can come up with is that people associate her with her character on gossip girl. I saw her Vogue interview video recently and she seemed genuinely sweet and down to earth. No, she isn’t a great actress, but she has great style and compared to some of the druggy inappropriate celebrities her age, she is someone girls can really look up to. She is shilling the hell out of her website, maybe it is a little transparent but so what?! She is very successful, the products are selling out like mad.

  26. Chem says:

    This fits well for a pregnancy, it resembles the vomit of the baby.
