Blake Lively has been making waves in the fashion world lately, but her recent post on Instagram has everyone talking for a whole new reason. The actress, who is busy promoting her upcoming film ‘It Ends With Us,’ based on Colleen Hoover’s romance novel, has once again proven that she knows how to make a statement — both on and off the red carpet.
If you thought Blake’s floral-themed outfits were just a cute nod to her character Lily Bloom in the movie, think again. This time, she went a step further by channeling none other than Britney Spears, the ultimate pop queen of the early 2000s. But what exactly did Blake do to honor Britney? And why is everyone losing their minds over it?

Blake Lively’s Red Carpet Look Gives A Sweet Nod To Britney Spears
Blake Lively took to Instagram stories to share her latest red carpet look, and did she make a splash! For the New York premiere of ‘It Ends With Us‘ at AMC Lincoln Square Theater, Blake donned the exact same Versace Butterfly dress that Britney Spears originally wore back in 2002 for Versace’s show in Milan.
Yep, you read that right — it’s Britney’s actual dress! “It should be in the Smithsonian or the Met. But it’s on me. I feel so lucky!” Blake told People with a gleeful smile.
In her heartfelt Instagram story, Blake penned a sweet message for Britney. “Today’s mood. The ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories,” she wrote.
“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. Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories,” the actress added.

Britney Spears’s Iconic Dress Is a Perfect Mood For Blake Lively
Britney Spears’s iconic dress is adorned in multiple hues like yellow, blue, pink, green, peach, and lavender, features a one-shoulder halter neckline, a front cut-out, flower embellishments across the waist, shimmering sequin details, a figure-hugging silhouette, and a flowy skirt. It’s a true masterpiece and perfectly complements the floral-theme dressing Blake Lively has been embracing for her upcoming film’s promotion.
Blake’s red carpet look didn’t just stop at the dress. She completed her ensemble with matching rings from Lorraine Schwartz, flower-shaped earrings, and strappy heels. Her hair was styled in side-parted voluminous loose curls, while her makeup featured pink lips, rouge-tinted cheeks, mascara-adorned lashes, and feathered brows. The whole look screamed vintage glam, and we are here for it!
Blake Lively attended the ‘It Ends With Us‘ New York premiere with two dates. She walked the red carpet with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who wore an olive green suit with a white floral boutonniere. Hugh Jackman, Ryan’s ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘ co-star, also accompanied them.
‘It Ends with Us‘ arrives in theaters on August 9.
