Blake Lively says she feels ‘insecure’ about her body after the birth of her third child and struggles to find clothes that fit

In a message on her Instagram story on Friday, the actress shared an image from her television appearance in ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ in 2020, not long after the birth of her third child.

Although she smiles in the photo, she said she remembers having a hard time finding an outfit for the look because “no one had samples that fit me after I gave birth.”

“I put together a @lavinoffical shirt and dress from @netaporter to make this beautiful outfit,” she wrote in the Instagram story, adding that “so many clothes from stores don’t fit either.”

“It does not send a wonderful message to women if their bodies do not fit in with the brands. It is alienating and confusing. I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later when I look back. For me.” gave a baby. And he made all that baby’s food supply. What a wonderful miracle. But instead of feeling proud, I felt insecure. Simply because I did not fit into clothes. How stupid it is afterwards. “

Lively, whose husband is actor Ryan Reynolds, praised entrepreneur Katie Sturino, the founder of MegaBabe, who uses her platform to appeal to designers to have more inclusive size.

“@katiesturino and others are challenging brands to do better, helping women not to feel alone,” Lively wrote. “And she’s making sensible progress.”

In a recent interview, Sturino told CNN that she was inspired to launch the hashtag #makemysize after trying on a DVF skirt in its largest available size (14), and it did not suit her.

“It’s never a boycott of this brand, but this brand does not support women with real curves,” she said. ‘I think it’s much better to call in a designer or a brand and educate them about the fact that’ hey, you’re a part of the population, the majority of the population and you have to perhaps think of offering larger sizes. ”
