Isn’t she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
Blake Lively shocked fans by stepping out in the same glittering gown once worn by Britney Spears to walk the red carpet at the “It Ends With Us” premiere in NYC Tuesday night — and she brought extra pop princess energy in a corseted pink minidress at the afterparty.
The “Gossip Girl” alum, 36, partied at Tavern on the Green in a bubblegum pink Atelier Versace look after attending the premiere in the exact rainbow-hued Versace gown worn by the “Lucky” singer in 2002.

Her afterparty dress — from Versace’s fall/winter 2023 atelier collection — was crafted from pink silk satin and panels of lace and was “inspired by lingerie and exposed undergaments,” per the brand.
Lively was pretty in pink from head to toe, matching her lipstick to her dress and wearing crystal-trimmed pale pink Christian Louboutin sandals.
The “It Ends With Us” actress plays a florist named Lily Bloom in the film, and as she did during the rest of the press tour, she added plenty of floral details to her look.
The mom of four carried a rose-shaped pink crystal Judith Leiber bag ($4,955) and chose pink rose-cut floral Lorraine Schwartz drop earrings weighing in at 50 carats along with glittering pink, white and nude diamond rings on nearly every finger.
She piled on diamond Lorraine Schwartz bangles and wore her hair in the same wavy style she did at the premiere.
As for her earlier Versace look, Lively told People, “It is Britney’s actual dress,” adding, “It should be in the Smithsonian or the Met, but it’s on me.”
She also posted a tribute to the “Baby One More Time” singer on her Instagram Story, sharing a pic of Spears wearing the dress at Versace’s spring/summer 2003 Milan Fashion Week show.
“The ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and tell our stories,” Lively wrote, adding the pop star made “us millennials” “want to shine and inspire awe.”
“Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories. So excited about your biopic and all you have to come,” the “Shallows” star added.
Is Lively hinting at a role in the upcoming adaptation of Spears’ memoir, “The Woman in Me?” Watch this space.
