Blake Lively has made her first professional appearance since giving birth to baby number two with husband Ryan Reynolds. She stepped out on Wednesday for the L’Oreal’s Women of Worth awards in New York City.
Blake spoke to reporters at the end about the cause behind the event.
“It’s as important as ever to celebrate women, and that’s what we get to do tonight—we get to celebrate 10 incredible women who are spending their days changing the world. The woman who I’m celebrating tonight, Carly [Yoost], has already found 7,500 child predators, 2,500 children she’s saved from online pornography of children. I can’t even imagine going through that as a parent. So it’s incredible—it’s great that we get to do that.”
She went on to discuss the importance of passing along the inspiration the next generation.
“You have to set an example. It’s so important. In times like this you can curl up and be really depressed about the state of communities that are underserved, or you can set that example for your children.”
Blake and Ryan’s newest daughter is six weeks old, and they have not revealed her name. She joined big sister James who is 23 months old.
