That's the initial thought of many last night after pregnant Blake Lively looked absolutely breathtaking while flaunting her baby bump in fitted yellow Gucci gown with a plunging neckline at the Angel Ball in NYC, where the actress and husband Ryan Reynolds (who also donned Gucci for the star-studded affair) appeared on the red carpet for the first time together since Lively announced they are expecting their first child.
Of course, the good-looking couple looked more in love than ever as they posed for pics side-by-side, and according to an eyewitness, their lovefest only continued—even sharing a bit of scandalous PDA!—once they stepped out of the spotlight.
"Blake and Ryan were super-cute on the red carpet," a source dished to E! News. "As soon as the flashbulbs started going off, I saw her give him a good booty squeeze, which is when he looked and smiled at her."
The erstwhile Gossip Girl star, who tied the knot with her handsome hubby in September 2012, seemed in good spirits at the black-tie benefit, and clearly she's not letting her pregnancy impair her fashion sense.
"During the event, Blake raised her champagne glass to Denise Rich's toast to kick off the event, then promptly sat down without drinking it," the eyewitness continued. "She was seated with good friend Lorraine Schwartz and seemed to be having a nice time chatting to the other guests seated at her table. They didn't stay very long, though, and left before most of the performances began."
Reynolds doted on his ladylove throughout the night, ensuring the pregnant beauty was placed on a pedestal.
"Ryan was really sweet throughout the whole night," a second eyewitness told E! News after observing the lovebirds' behavior inside the event. "He was rubbing her shoulders, putting his arms around her and when Blake got up, he got up."
The insider added, "They were smiling with each other and he kissed her on her cheek at one point. He also touched her belly."
Prior to the star-studded soiree, Lively was most recently seen reuniting with her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars and has been spotted out and about—showing off her perfect pregnancy style—on the streets of NYC.
