Blake Lively made a stunning appearance at the New York premiere of her film ‘It Ends With Us,’ channeling pop icon Britney Spears. The actress wore a vintage Versace gown identical to the one Britney famously donned in 2002. This choice not only showcased her fashion sense but also served as a heartfelt tribute to the pop queen.
Blake took to Instagram to express her admiration for Britney, calling her “the ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories.” She added, “Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment, or of years, that you made us want to shine and inspire awe, with strength and joy and immensely hard work.” The post included a throwback photo of Britney in the original gown.
Blake completed her look with minimal makeup and left her long blonde hair in loose waves, adding a touch of elegance to the tribute. She walked the red carpet with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who complemented her look with an olive green suit and a white floral boutonniere. They were also joined by Reynolds’ ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ co-star Hugh Jackman.
