That doesn’t mean her styling prowess always delivers, however.
Give Baldoni and his backers a revenge-dress punch to the face.
Thepower of the celebrity revenge dresshas been proven time and time again after all.
When she hit the town in N.Y.C.
Nothing says “things are going badly” and “I give up” like wearing tattered hosiery.
The studded Valentino boots also felt a bit clunky and heavy for the lightweight feel of the tunic dress.
We know that Lively can and has delivered better.
She also shared with the outlet that she had tried 256 different outfits for each appearance.
And somehow, out of 256, she landed on this ensemble.
Not only was it confusing and incohesive, it felt age-inappropriate.
And then there were the fuchsia heels.
On what planet do these coordinate with the rest of the look?
While some of the floral confections were big style hits, some wilted tragically.
Check out the Stella McCartney suit with floral motif from the London photocall.
For starters, the suit is massively oversized, swamping Lively.
And then there’s the lack of a bra underneath the suit.
But blatantly showing your enhanced breasts while promoting a film with domestic violence themes?
That felt wildly inappropriate.
It’s no wonder that critics likeMeghan McCain called Lively out for her tone deafness.
Let’s consider two of the denim disasters that Blake Lively delivered in August 2024.
First, there was the leather Tory Burch camisole, Stella McCartney chap jeans, and grandpa cardigan mishap.
Why the brown cardi?
Is it supposed to juxtapose the sexiness or cowboyness of the other pieces?
When it came to the internet fandom, there were mixed opinions on the floral-themed promo looks.
A few suggested she fire her stylist.
Is she ready for self-instilled redundancy?
Reddit userscommented on the aberration from Lively’s usually stunning style.
“She can pull off almost anything, but heavy black velvet just isn’t her!”
wrote one user, which prompted the response: “Agreed.
And the gloves and boots took it further in an odd direction.”
Sometimes, subtlety helps deliver balance, Blake.
