Tuesday 10 May 2022 05:17 PM Blake Lively asks why we obsess over women's bodies during Vogue interview trends now

Blake Lively went through her fashion statements this week from the start of her career at age 16 to her most recent Met Gala appearance in Versace.

The 34-year-old star was talking to "Vogue for their famous Life In Looks segment while wearing a peach blazer and top.

And at one point the conversation turned to her body and how there has been so much attention paid to her shape when she has been pregnant. She has three children with actor Ryan Reynolds: daughters James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, two.

When she turned to an image in the Vogue book from 2016 when she wore a blue gown to the Cannes Film Festival in France she noted she was pregnant but had not yet shared the news with the public.

Blake had a small bump in the blue gown but in other outfits she did not seem to be with child.

She said fans kept guessing and could not decide if she was pregnant or not.

And the star then shared that she thought that was worth a conversation. 'Why do we obsess over women's bodies?' asked the Los Angeles native.

'It's just me showing up on a red carpet, like our bodies are ever changing and evolving, that doesn't belong to anyone else,' added the siren.

And she also told Vogue that likes to stay 'private' about her children, which is why they do not do red carpets with her and Ryan.

Blake also shared she has tried to protect her kids even when they were in the 'womb' and that is why she did not like to be photographed much when pregnant.

In other parts of her sit down, the blonde bombshell kept the tone lighter as she named her favorite looks of all time while adding that she often dresses to impress her kids.

She began the interview with an image from Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants. She  was 16 at the time and she said the shoes were very 2004.

Lively added the costars became her best friends, they are 'powerful' and became role models. 'Each of the women are so different from one another,' she said, and the fashion differentiated the characters.

Next came 2005, her first red carpet; Sisterhood was about to come out, she was still in high school. She said it as special because her sister was about to give birth.

The T-shirt was from Forever 21, the low rise jeans from Abercrombie and the heels from Aldo with a belt from Hot Topic.

Then she looks at a 2008 dress from Gossip Girl - a Ralph Lauren yellow floral print dress she wore on the show.

She credited Eric Damon, the costume designer of Gossip Girl; she said he made sure that the characters had their own 'looks.'

And in 2009 came her Vogue cover, she was 21, Gossip Girl had been on the air for only a year, and it meant a lot to her to be on the cover. She said it still leaves her 'speechless.'

The siren loved the iconic Veronica Lake style hairdo and thought the look was 'timeless.'

In 2009 she was seen on SNL in a short red dress. She said she did not work with a stylist and never has. But for SNL she didn't know what to wear. She said the show told her to dress herself as they only costumes her for the skits. She settled on a Top Shop mini with a sweetheart neckline.
