Mandy Moore Warms Up to Fall Fashion in Velvet Dress With Thigh-High Slit

Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore looked as sweet as candy in new photos snapped by paparazzi this week.

The 39-year-old actress was photographed on Oct. 11, strutting down the streets of New York City wearing a stunning rust orange colored crushed velvet midi dress that featured a jewel neckline, tank style top, ruching at her waist and a thigh-high slit.

Accessorizing with just a pair of dainty gold hoops and knee-high light brown suede boots, the This Is Us alum completed the fall-ready look with a nude lipgloss and a voluminous blowout.

The pictures were taken following the "I Wanna Be With You" singer's appearance on the Today Show, where she spoke candidly about being a mom of two and the potential of her and husband Taylor Goldsmith welcoming a third.

“I had two under two, Gus is two and half now and Ozzie is almost one. They’re the best!” she shared on Wednesday, before explaining that coming from a large family, she knew she always wanted her kids to have at least one sibling.

Moore went on, “I always knew that if I was lucky enough to have a family I would want more than one. But I didn’t realize that when the second came out I would be like ‘I think I could do this again.’ My husband thinks I’m crazy!”

Moore and Goldsmith wed in 2018 and over the course of their five-year marriage, the couple welcomed two sons: August "Gus" Harrison Goldsmith, 2, and Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett Goldsmith, who turns 1 this month.

This isn't the first time the actress joked about "keeping the door open" for a third, "Truth be told, I haven't shut the door on a larger family," she told E! News this past March. "I don't know what my husband is thinking. I know right now, he's sort of like, 'Whaaat? That's crazy! It's so hard.' And it is. It's so hard. It's non-stop, all hands on deck right now. So maybe, perhaps. but I don't know."
