Blake wears a black, off-the-shoulder dress and pulls a goofy face as she holds up her smartphone with a still of the underwater baddie.

And the 28-year-old shows off her new home manicure as she holds up a bottle of silver nail polish. 

Blake has been showing off her stunning red carpet style at the Cannes Film Festival, wearing a number of flowing gowns that certainly look fit for a princess.

The star, who is expecting her second child with husband Ryan Reynolds, also joked she looked straight out of Disney's Frozen in another Instagram post on Saturday.

Turn heads in a blue dress like Blake Lively

Blake Lively proves pregnancy won't stop her looking glamorous on the latest red carpet at Cannes.

The American actor was spotted at the Palais des Festivals' BFG premiere, where she wore a lustrous Atelier Versace gown, designed especially for her (unfortunately, this dress is not available to buy, but click right to shop the designer's current collection of dresses). The silk was covered in sparkles that only added to the shimmering style.

The gown, which featured a long, trailing tail, was cut to a revealing silhouette: it had cut-outs and a thigh-high split, all the while sculpting her body and baby bump. And the blonde beauty wore her hair tied back, which showcased the neckline to full effect!

'Let It Glo,' she captioned the portrait, in a nod to Frozen's catchy musical number, Let It Go, which is sung by Princess Elsa.

The actress has been turning heads and showed off her growing baby bump with her flawless red carpet looks at the prestigious Cannes festival last week.

She showed off her growing baby bump and flashed her long legs in the sparkling blue gown at the premiere of The BFG last week.

The stylish dress' striking blue color called to mind Cinderella, and it featured an off-the-shoulder design, thigh-high slit and dramatic train.

But Blake also sparked controversy in another jokey caption that quoted from Sir Mix-A-Lot's 1992 hit Baby Got Back.

'LA face with an Oakland booty,' she wrote next to a photo of her showing off her curves in a tight gown.

The post caused a backlash, with some on social media accusing the Green Lantern actress of cultural appropriation and racism, saying she was using black women as 'a punchline.'

But Sir Mix-A-Lot came to Blake's defense, telling Pret-A-Reporter he felt her reference showed the standards of beauty were changing rather than being yet another instance of white privilege and appropriation of black culture.

'For her to look at her butt and that little waist and to say 'L.A. face with an Oakland booty,' doesn't that mean that the norm has changed, that the beautiful people have accepted our idea of beautiful? That's the way I took it,' the 52-year-old said.
