Blake Lively has mastered maternity style with an unexpected styling trick.
The pregnant “Gossip Girl” star, who is now expecting her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds, shared an Instagram story of the fashion fiasco on Sunday. The actress revealed she couldn’t finish tightening a silky button-up black and white polka-dot mini dress and a black velvet maxi skirt from her wardrobe. The chic set was whimsically paired with a large rounded pearl necklace, reminiscent of Lively’s maximalist dress. I strengthened my chic streaks again.

“Who says two wrongs aren’t always right??” was shared lively as the caption, adding that “wearing both” is an alternative if the two pieces don’t fit.
As for footwear, Lively incorporated a pop of color with Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps. The $1,225 style features a bright red satin upper with a pointed his-toe silhouette, rounded counters, and a 3.5-inch stiletto heel. Completing the set was Blahnik’s signature ornamental crystal his hangisi buckle on each toe, cast with red gemstones to create a mesmerizing monochrome finish. The style also proved to be a sharp complement to Lively’s outfits, creating a classic palette when paired with her black and white dress.
