These are new photos of Jennifer Connelly looking gorgeous at a NYC event for Save the Children. It’s Jennifer’s first red carpet appearance since giving birth to daughter Agnes, fathered by Jennifer’s hot husband, Paul Bettany. Paul was not with Jennifer last night, unfortunately! I know, I would like to see some new photos of Paul too – I put the latest candid shots of Paul and Jennifer’s two sons, Kai and Stellan, at the bottom of the post.

Anyway, Jennifer and how beautiful she is. I love the way she looks right now – she still has some post-baby weight, her face is filled out slightly and she just looks so healthy and gorgeous. At the event, Jennifer talked about her home birth and her midwife:

Beautiful mind AND body! Stepping out at Tuesday’s “Every Woman, Every Child” for Save the Children benefit at NYC’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, Jennifer Connelly walked her first red carpet since giving birth to daughter Agnes Lark Bettany May 31.

The stunning Oscar-winning actress, 40, wasn’t shy to reveal a bit of her post-baby weight loss in a black sheer top (with a black bra underneath) tucked into flattering, pleated black pants.

Connelly told Us Weekly she felt compelled to step out for the benefit, which supports a cause near and dear to her heart. “I gave birth to my daughter Agnes three and a half months ago, like many women, I gave birth to her at home,” the Dilemma star told Us.

(Agnes was born via schedule home water birth at the NYC apartment she shares with husband Paul Bettany.)

“But unlike many women around the world, my birth was attended by a skilled midwife,” she continued. “I’m very excited to be here to support Save the Children and to support mothers around the world that don’t have access to health care.”

Agnes joins big brothers Kai, 13 (his dad is Connelly’s photographer ex David Dugan) and 7-year-old Stellan, Connelly’s son with The Tourist star Bettany, 40, whom Connelly wed in 2003.

Lovely. Great cause, Jennifer speaks with intelligence, and I basically have no problems with anything she or Paul ever want to say or do. I love them so much.
