BLAKE Lively oozed glamour on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles today.
Less than four months after giving birth two her second bub with Ryan Reynolds, the 29-year-old showed off her dynamite post-baby bod in a fringed Elie Saab mini dress.
The number was equal parts playful and sexy — with flirty fringe and sparkles as well as sheer cutouts.
The Gossip Girl star left her man at home with the kids for the night, arriving at the awards with her sister Robyn Lively.
It was a big night for Lively, with the star picking up the People’s Choice Awards for Favourite Dramatic Movie Actress for her role in The Shallows. She beat out other leading ladies Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Julia Roberts, and Meryl Streep.
Accepting the award, Lively took the moment to deliver a powerful speech.
“My mum, she always taught me as a kid that you can’t ever let anyone limit you. Don’t ever let anyone tell you there’s something you can’t do,” she said, adding her first goal as a youngster was to join the Spice Girls.
“What was so neat about them was that they’re all do distinctly different, and they were women, and they owned who they were, and that was my first introduction into girl power,” she said. “Watching this movie, and the women nominated in this category — when you guys voted for this, you didn’t just vote for this movie or me, but you voted for girl power. … And men voted for girl power, too, and you guys are awesome for doing that.”
She thanked voters for “sending a message to Hollywood that people want to hear stories about women”.
