Blake Lively Opens Up About Being Insecure When None Of Her Clothes Fit Her Following The Birth Of Her Third Child
It’s hard to imagine someone as stunning as Blake Lively feeling insecure about, well, anything!
On Friday, Blake took to her Instagram stories to share that she felt very insecure when none of her clothes fit her following the birth of her third child.
After Blake gave birth to her daughter Betty, she found it nearly impossible to put together clothes that fit her new body.
“I put together a @lavinoffical shirt and dress from @netaporter to make this pretty outfit,” Blake began, posting a photo of her wearing a beautiful all-black ensemble at her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She gave birth to Betty in October 2019, and went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon 3 months later.
“Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth. And so many clothes from stores didn’t fit either. So. Many,” Blake explained.

“It doesn’t send a great message to women when their bodies don’t fit into what brands have to offer. It’s alienating and confusing.”
“And I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back. That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby’s entire food supply.”
“What a beautiful miracle. But instead of feeling proud, I felt insecure. Simply because I didn’t fit into clothes. How silly is that in retrospect.”
Blake finished up her post by tagging Katie Sturino, the founder of the body products company Megababe.
Blake said that Katie and “others are out there challenging brands to do better, helping women to not feel alone.”
“And she’s making meaningful progress. She reminds me, we all can ask for better from the brands we love.”
You go Blake, for calling on clothing brands to address such a major issue! Not every woman is a sample size, and there certainly needs to be more size inclusion in fashion.
