Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were all of our relationship goals at the State Dinner in honor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the United States White House on Thursday.

The Canadian husband-and-American wife team was the very picture of elegance, with Blake stealing almost all of the spotlight.

We’re sure Ryan didn’t mind playing second fiddle to his wife that evening, as Blake was resplendent in her ice blue Ralph & Russo robe gown.

She managed to pull off the dangerous combination of a plunging neckline, shoulder cutouts, and a thigh-high front split for the formal and conservative occasion.

Anna Kendrick’s archenemy kept things simple and elegant with natural-toned makeup, an old-fashioned side-parted hairdo and luxe Lorraine Schwartz drop earrings.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively arrive at a State Dinner in honor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held March 10, 2016, at the White House in Washington D.C.

Blake almost got away with the look, before she fell victim to a minor wardrobe malfunction.

As the 28-year-old The Shallows actress made her entrance, the thigh split on her dress opened up a little too high and exposed the beige Spanx underwear she was wearing underneath.

Apparently, even tall and svelte Blake needs help from body shapers sometimes.
