She was going up against a veritable cavalcade of fine fillies.

But pregnant Blake Lively easily stole the show after she showcased her burgeoning bump in a flattering dress at the premiere of Cafe Society in New York on Wednesday.

The blonde beauty looked in sparkling form as she glided down the red carpet while she got ready to take in her latest silver screen extravaganza.

The 28-year-old, who it emerged in April is pregnant with her second child with husband Ryan Reynolds, seemed thrilled to be at the showpiece occasion in the Big Apple.

She had certainly dressed to impress in her plunging grey Carolina Herrera gown, which was adorned with fashion forward pink floral pompoms.

It also boasted an adventurously high hemline, which, coupled with her towering stilettos showed off her model-quality legs to the full.

But there were plenty of other big names at the event, with her co-star Kristen Stewart, who cracked a rare smile on the red carpet, showcasing her feminine side in a flattering lace gown.

Go grey in a cute dress like Blake in Carolina Herrera

There were a whole array of beautiful ladies at the Cafe Society premiere in New York, but Blake Lively well and truly stole the show.

You could barely tell the stunning actress was pregnant under her tulip skirted dress that hid her growing stomach, not that Blake has been afraid to show it off on this promo trail, choosing bodyconscious dresses just as often as she has loose fitting attire.

The dress was a beauty with its gorgeous grey hue and pink embellishment and the V neck showed off her assets while the short hem highlighted her long toned legs. If you've got it, flaunt it and all that!

The piece was custom made by Carolina Herrera so cannot be shopped, but you can buy other pieces by the brand at Farfetch (click right).

Or go grey like Blake in one of the alternative options in the line up below. Our favourite is the jacquard number at Asos.
