While it may not be the Met Gala just yet, Blake Lively’s recent appearance on the red carpet has sparked comparisons to fashion’s premier events.
Last week, the star of Another Simple Favor found herself among the distinguished nominees for this year’s TIME100, joining the ranks of notable figures such as Serena Williams, Jon M. Chu, and Daniel Dae Kim. In an Instagram post sharing the recognition, Lively expressed her surprise, noting, “My 10 year old self is pretty blown away right now.”
As expected, the gala celebrating the TIME100 list brought out a stylish crowd, and Lively certainly turned heads. In a striking bustier gown, she appeared to be competing for accolades not just for her achievements, but also for her fashion sense.
Blake’s Spectacular Bustier Gown
The Gossip Girl alum is no stranger to high fashion, and she certainly embraced glamour at the TIME100 Gala held on April 24 in New York City. Accompanying her husband Ryan Reynolds and her parents, Lively honored her family during her speech. She captivated the spotlight in a beautifully dyed gown in a rich dusty rose hue.
This stunning creation by designer Zuhair Murad featured a fitted bustier bodice, adorned with draping across the chest and elegant off-the-shoulder sleeves. The form-fitting skirt gracefully flared out at the knees into a sophisticated quasi-mermaid shape, while a voluminous train trailed elegantly behind her.
Unexpected Green Accessories
What truly sets Lively apart in the fashion realm is her bold and imaginative accessorizing. From styling bold floral tights with a floral dress to pairing a lace gown with a vintage cardigan, her fashion choices continually surprise.
For the gala, she took a daring turn by accessorizing her pink gown with vivid green jewels. Eschewing traditional gold or diamond accessories, Lively adorned herself with an array of green gemstones, including jades and emeralds, showcased in rings, bracelets, and drop earrings that beautifully complemented her blonde curls.
Floral References from It Ends With Us
In addition to her striking ensemble, Lively also incorporated subtle nods to her recent project, It Ends With Us. While she embraced florals more prominently in her film wardrobe, this occasion featured smaller hints. For instance, she showcased a unique green ring crafted in the shape of three flowers and displayed a carefully designed floral manicure, demonstrating her clever attention to detail.
