For Blake Lively, commitment to the characters she plays in any given film or series does not end once the cameras cut. Not in the sartorial sense, anyway.
As proven by her ongoing It Ends with Us press tour ensembles, the Gossip Girl alum uses red-carpet events and major city sidewalks to continue performing off-screen, in impressive displays of method dressing—the styling term used to describe the ways fashion can mirror the mood of a film or its characters.
In the buzzy book-turned-film It Ends With Us, Lively plays protagonist and florist Lily Bloom. Playing up on the novel’s floral themes, the leading lady has been recently papped in exceptionally maximalist and eclectic looks complete with on-brand flora and fauna patterns.
From fun vintage sets to flower power gowns, we present Blake Lively’s boldest fashion moments as of late.

This week in London, Lively stepped out at the U.K. Gala Screening of It Ends with Us wearing a bedazzled mesh gown designed by Tamara Ralph. In addition to the multicoloured crystal petals adorning the neckline of the dress, the actress opted for a feathery, scarlet-coloured overcoat to introduce a pop of colour.

For a London photocall that same day, Lively suited up in a crisp white oversized blazer, showing bare skin underneath, and wide-legged trousers from Stella McCartney’s Resort 2025 collection. Intricately embroidered wildflowers add a floral touch to both the top and bottom.

What does Blake Lively wear to an after-party in New York City? A pink, corsetted mini dress trimmed with frilly lace, courtesy of Versace! On her feet, strappy pink heels covered in rhinestones to match. And last but not least, a ton of flower-shaped rings, a bedazzled rose bag, and dangly statement earrings to accessorize.

This leading lady may still be making her It Ends with Us press tour rounds, but we’re calling it: her New York premiere look gave us one of her best fashion moments, ever. Acquired from Tab Vintage, Lively slipped into a nude mesh dress dripping with colourful beads from Versace’s Fall/Winter 2002 collection, previously worn by Britney Spears twenty-one years earlier in 2003. I-co-nic.

Papped earlier this week in New York City, the Blake Brown Beauty founder opted for another floral suit-like situation. This time, she paired a black leather blazer, still forgoing a bra, with black Bermuda shorts by Dauphinette—each piece hand-painted with colourful floral details. As for shoes, classic black red bottoms pulled the look together.

Thought this was a polka-dot set? Take a closer look. This royal blue archival skirt suit from Christian Dior’s Fall/Winter 1997 collection, designed by John Galliano, is actually decked out with miniature daisies. Keeping with the outfit’s monochromatic theme, Lively wore baby blue pumps to match.

For a slight deviation from the aforementioned Dauphinette ensemble she also wore that day, the former gossip girl stuck with the New York City designer’s hand-painted floral pieces, swapping out the leather jacket and shorts for a tank top and column skirt of the same pattern.

Making a case for pairing clashing patterns together, Lively took a Sunday stroll in one of her boldest looks of this press tour so far. Pulled from Christopher John Rogers’ Resort 2025 collection, Lively styled a halter-neck polka-dot top with fun floral trousers and a matching overcoat. It’s peak maximalism!

More pink! More flowers! The actress stunned in a loud pink mini dress by Dauphinette and a matching floral jacket at the Betty Blooms Pop-Up in New York City. Here, the delicate flowers strewn into her braid made for the ultimate accessory.

Expanding her floral fashion interpretations to the entire garden, one of Lively’s buzziest ensembles as of late is this sheer tights and dress combo that first appeared in Versace’s Resort 2025 collection. Zoom into this look and you’ll spot little ladybug, bumblebee and sunflower motifs worked into both pieces. On her feet, kitschy red pumps matched her red mini.

Walking the NYC streets in something a tad more casual, the actress wore a head-to-toe daisy look, pairing a sky blue and white tee with flower-printed denim and blue pumps. As much as we live for the clothing, our eyes were immediately drawn to the blinged-out, rose-shaped purse she slung across her body.

A vision of floral beauty, Lively was literally glowing in this flower-adorned mini dress designed by Oscar De La Renta. Allowing her whimsical dress to live in the spotlight, she went with a subtle silver heel to add an elegant touch to the ensemble. And those beaded, dangling earrings? To die for.

Strutting about in New York’s Meatpacking District, Lively’s look this evening was a beaded fantasy. Beneath a kaleidoscopic coat crafted with colourful sequins, her bead-fringed mini dress, courtesy of Dauphinette, was everything. Breaking character for just a moment, these ruby-red Louboutins totally reminded us of The Wizard of Oz.

“This dress is 30 years old but doesn’t look a day over 25,” writes the actress on Instagram, referring to this flora and fauna patterned gown. Firm in her affinity for styling vintage pieces, Lively sourced this one from Vivienne Westwood’s 1994 archives.
July 31, 2024
How fun is this feathery Dauphinette dress Lively wore last week? Dubbed the “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” gown, this dress features a hand-dyed ostrich feather trim in the prettiest pastel palette. Rainbow-coloured Louboutins brought the playful feel of the look down to her toes.
