Blake, 28, positively glowed at the glitzy premiere for her new film Café Society, where the blonde bombshell showed off her growing baby bump.

The expectant mum wowed onlookers with a one-two punch of red carpet glamour at the Cannes Film Festival last night, dazzling in a glittering floor-length Atelier Versace gown with a subtle mermaid-style silhouette.

The actress completed her look with soft, loose waves and delicate silver sandals, adding an extra bit of sparkle in the form of Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Earlier, Blake sizzled in a scarlet jumpsuit as she posed with her Café Society co-star Kristen Stewart and director Woody Allen at a photocall for the film, accessorising with a matching red scarf.

News of the former Gossip Girl star’s second pregnancy with husband Ryan Reynolds broke in April, and while Blake has walked the red carpet since then (most notably at the Met Gala) this is the first time her growing baby bump has been glimpsed.

The couple are already proud parents to 16-month-old daughter James, and we’re betting she can’t wait for the arrival of her little brother or sister! Needless to say, Blake and Ryan are over the moon about the growing family as well.

Blake is at Cannes to promote her new film Cafe Society.

“Blake is absolutely thrilled and so is Ryan,” a source told People at the time the pregnancy news broke.

With Blake currently in Cannes to promote her new film, the star’s reported friendly baking rivalry with pal Taylor Swift is set to be put on the back-burner. The BFFs are said to have been engaging in a bit of a sweet-tooth showdown, with both stars sending each other plenty of baked treats.

“Taylor has been sending mountains of cupcakes to Blake’s house every few days,” a friend of the songstress tells Star.

“Taylor’s a perfectionist and always wants Blake’s feedback on her confections.”

Blake – a noted domestic goddess who has a keen interest in cooking and baking – will then return the favour by whipping up a batch of her own goodies for Taylor.

“It’s like a chain letter but with food! Blake’s been joking with Taylor that she needs to hurry up and get pregnant so they can binge bake together!”
