Blake Lively made her triumphant return to the red carpet at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York on Thursday night and it was every bit worth the wait.

After taking time out to have a baby (who is possibly named James) with husband Ryan Reynolds and make some pretty spectacular cookies, Blake turned up at New York Fashion Week to say hi to a few friends and generally look fabulous on the red carpet.

Here she is giving full Serena van der Woodsen realness. Eat your heart out, Blair.

Blake posed with Ecuadorian designer Gabriela Cadena whose runway show she was there to support:

No one is surprised that she killed it on her first night back. The only thing that’s actually surprising about this is that she wasn’t one of the billion celebs at Kanye West’s runway show.
