As she arrived to the red carpet ahead of the star-studded event on Thursday night ahead of the 95th Academy Awards this weekend, the 34-year-old actress, who is expecting her second child with husband Ian Somerhalder, was simply glowing.
While standing by her spouse’s side, the expectant star, best known for her role as Rosalie Hale in the widely popular Twilight franchise, radiated beauty as she smiled for photographers.
She accessorized her stunning floor-length dress, featuring intricate silver beading across the chest, with multiple rings on nearly every finger and delicate earrings.
For the occasion, Reed wore her dark brunette locks in loose curls and glamorous makeup look, consisting of a glossy nude lipstick and bronzer for a sun-kissed glow.

‘2023 celebrating life,’ she began in the post. ‘Years of dreaming, manifesting and praying over this very moment. So much love. What a gift.
‘As all of you know, I have very strong boundaries with social media, especially when it comes to children and what I choose to put out into the world. Thank you so much for honoring that, and for sending positivity and kindness and LOVE. Some things are too good not to share :).
She ended the post by giving photography and ‘baby cred’ to her husband.

‘All I’ve ever wanted from the time I was a young boy was to have a big family. Thank you Nik for giving me that gift. ROUND TWO HERE WE GO!!!!! Thank you thank you to this incredible human for the gift of life and love, for being the most incredible mom and working so hard to make dreams come true!!! When I was taking this photo, I could not believe what I was seeing through that viewfinder. There’s nothing more beautiful…
‘All I ask is that everyone sends positivity to Nik & I during this time. The social space can be a strange one, but we can also make it a great one.’
