Blake Lively On Why She Wore Heels During Her Pregnancy

If there was ever a prize for the most stylish mum-to-be out there, Blake Lively would certainly win.

The former Gossip Girl star paraded a series of envy-inducing outfits throughout her pregnancy, which also included some serious footwear.

"What can I say? I feel good when I'm wearing heels. I feel sexier, attractive," Lively told People magazine. "Trust me, when you see that scale starting to go up up up - and not the little number slide on top but the big number slide on the bottom - you go shopping and buy yourself some red-soled shoes.

"When I put on Louboutins while super pregnant, it makes me feel more empowered in that moment, it gives me that extra oomph."

Aside from sky-high designer heels and a pair of maternity jeans, Lively says she dressed her bump via existing pieces from her wardrobe.

"It's important to still feel like yourself, because so much of your life is changing," Lively explained. "I would've felt foreign in my own body if I'd started dressing differently."

That's not to say Lively didn't suffer any fashion mishaps however - according to the blonde starlet, the amazing low-back black KaufmanFranco dress she paraded at the L'Oreal's Women of Worth event was actually her second choice after the first ripped open.

"I was going to wear a different dress that evening but ... it broke," she says. "I was too big! The zipper just broke. It popped right open. I changed right before I walked out the door. I have that dress for real life, not pregnant life."
