21 Blake Lively Style Moments That Prove She'll Be One Heck Of A Fashionable Momma

Celebrities are a well-dressed bunch, to be sure, but the modern screen siren has a stylist and image consultants on hand to ensure they look better than their best at all times. So when a celebrity like Blake Lively comes along (who dresses herself and manages to put other, micro-managed red carpet attendees to shame with her innate sense of glamour), I believe she deserves more than a bit of sartorial respect. In case you haven't heard the joyous news, the lovely Lively and her hubby Ryan Reynolds have a baby on the way. In celebration of Hollywood's most elegant actress and homemaker and her much-anticipated bundle of joy, here are Ms. Lively's most memorable red carpet moments.
