Blake Lively brought absolute elegance to a Rhythm Section screening in NYC on Monday night. The 32-year-old actress made her return to the red carpet after giving birth to her third daughter with Ryan Reynolds, and she looked every inch a glam goddess in a fitted Dolce & Gabbana velvet gown and over-the-knee Christian Louboutin boots.

As if the dress wasn’t show-stopping enough, Blake also upped the Old Hollywood vibes with a massive pearl statement necklace from Lorraine Schwartz. She tied everything together with dramatic black gloves, diamond earrings, and a sophisticated updo. Serena Van Der Woodsen would be so proud! This is definitely an outfit the Upper East Side queen would wear. See more glimpses of Blake’s red carpet ensemble ahead.
