Blake Lively Blooms in Strapless Floral Gown and Bright Pink Heels

Blake Lively is claiming spring for herself, and we're conceding it to her.

The newly minted mother-of-four stepped out in New York City earlier this week for Barnard College’s Annual Gala, where she presented the three families being honored at the event with the Frederick AP Barnard Award for their "efforts that have inspired multigenerational commitment to the College," per the school's website.

The 35-year-old shared a couple of photos from the evening on Instagram, in which she wore a perfectly seasoned white floral Carolina Herrera dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a pair of neon pink pointed heels with a sparkly silver accent on the front. She also wore a matching pink duster jacket with bright yellow lining from Sergio Hudson.

Her wavy hair was pulled up into a high half-ponytail to show off her sparkly silver chandelier earrings, and she completed the look with a pop of pink lipstick.

"this is my new family now @serenalevy @slevydirect @sophie_levy congratulations on all you’ve done for @barnardcollege I loved celebrating you but I mostly loved having and [sic] excuse to wear neon and heels," she wrote in the caption of the post, going on to tag her entire glam squad from head to toe.

In the first photo, the Gossip Girl alum posed with those tagged at the beginning of her caption outside, the group standing on the sidewalk underneath scaffolding decorated with greenery. In the second, she showed off her full 'fit, posing with one hand on her hip in front of a large floral art print.

Fans were in awe of the look, taking to the comments to express their love.

"Tell me the truth, Blake. How hard is it waking up breathtakingly beautiful every day? 😍," one wrote.

"Your fashion sense is beyond," another complimented.

Plenty of people also expressed anticipation for Lively's appearance at this year's Met Gala, with one comment reading, "Queen herself serving looks>>> i can't wait to see what you wear for the Met Gala🥲."

"I hope you have an excuse to wear a new look and heels next Monday too 🤭🫶🏻," another teased, seeing as this year's Met Gala is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 1.

Last year, she wore a custom reversible Versace gown that the internet was absolutely geeked over, so we can't wait to see how she may top it this year!
