Here are some photos of Blake Lively at the afterparty for The Age of Adeline premiere. Yes, Blake changed out of her sad showgirl look for the afterparty. But I’m not sure that this full-length sheer-with-stars bodysuit was the correct “second look.” I mean… even Blake knows that she can’t really sell this. It’s a terrible styling choice and it doesn’t even look like it’s party-appropriate. Did she walk around the party wearing that big coat so she wouldn’t be flashing her bits and pieces? Oh, and this look is Monique Lhuillier, just like Blake’s red showgirl premiere look. Maybe THAT is the problem. No more Lhuillier for Blake.

Meanwhile, I have some bits and bobs of Blake info/quotes/interviews for you today. The Age of Adeline comes out on Friday, so Blake is going to be saturating the media this week. While at the premiere on Sunday, Blake tried to play it like her three-year absence from film was all her doing, because she’s so choosy. She told Variety: “I look for a movie that I can’t not do.” Variety notes that Blake was “in the running” for Silver Linings Playbook, the part that won Jennifer Lawrence an Oscar (LOL, never stop hustling, Blake). The director of Adeline, Toland Krieger, described Blake to Variety, saying: “She’s a bit of an old soul herself. She’d rather be baking on a Friday night than out partying. She’s a statuesque timeless beauty a la Veronica Lake.” A statuesque timeless beauty? Nope. Don’t get me wrong, I think Blake is pretty/sexy. Her prettiness is very accessible, like she’s “the pretty girl” in your college dorm.

What else? Blake has been talking about motherhood a lot and how much she loves everything about her baby. Of course. She told You Magazine:

“Being a parent is both exhausting and all-consuming but it is the greatest gift in the world. I never feel as though I am giving up anything being a young mother – there’s no sacrifice. I feel like I’ve won the lottery. The only thing I am giving up is sleep. Whenever I’m away from the baby, even for a few hours, I miss her. Not sleeping through the night is the one thing you dread leading up to giving birth. But the thing you’re not told is that you miss your baby, or at least I do. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night and I’m tired, I see her and feel glad. I’m already mourning her going off to college and getting married!”

Blake also told the magazine that they don’t have a nanny or night nurse, but her parents have been staying and “they do the job of 30 nannies, so we are very lucky.” Sure, I believe that. Much like Duchess Kate, I suspect Blake is very, very close to her family.
