All eyes were on the stunning power couple as they made a very glamorous entrance to the VIP event.

The couple were attending a welcome dinner for the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he embarks on his official visit to the United States.

Canadian actor Ryan, 39, cut a handsome figure in a Burberry navy tux, white shirt and bow-tie.

But it was his wife Blake, 28, who stole the show. The Gossip Girl star looked a vision in a pastel blue silk gown by Ralph & Russo, which featured a cinched in waist, shoulder cut-outs and a dramatic slit up the leg.

Blake finished off her show-stopping ensemble with a pair of purple dangly earrings, a matching ring and a sparkly silver clutch. While her trademark blonde locks were blow-dried to perfection.

A grand entrance: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds looked perfectly polished as they arrived at the White House on Thursday night.

In the past, Blake has claimed she doesn’t use a stylist.

“It’s such a passion of mine. That’s the reason I don’t have a stylist, not because I think I can do it better than any of these people, but because I just love it so much that it would be like handing over something,” she told People of her enviable fashion choices back in 2014.

She added: “It would be like making a cake and then handing it off to someone else to ice and decorate. Why would you do that?”

Well, if that’s still the case the actress sure does know how to ice a cake!
