Blake Lively had plenty of reasons to celebrate as she slipped her curves into a head-turning minidress back in 2021, but not everyone seeing her outfit approved. Marking the end of pandemic travel restrictions while attending an event held at the Empire State Building in NYC, the Gossip Girl star wowed in a leggy look complete with a massive girly bow, but one look at the reactions shows a fanbase sending her the thumbs-down.
Flashing her toned legs as she continued to garner envy with her toned figure as a mother, Blake rocked heels as she glammed up for her big night. Little did she know that fans would rip her look apart.
Blake Lively Turns Heads In Bow Dress And Heels
Opting for rich red satins and black embellishments, Blake highlighted her figure in a Georges Chakra number.
Going thigh-skimming and sleeveless, the wife to actor Ryan Reynolds kept chic in her fitted dress, one adding feminine accents from a huge bow detailing around the chest. Looking slender as she added height to her frame from a pair of matching red-and-black heels, Blake stunned as she wore her blonde locks down, also glamming up with a full face of makeup.
Paying attention to the smallest of details, Blake injected further pops of red from her rings and earrings, with a matte lip contrasting her dramatic dark eye makeup.
Fans Say Dress ‘Childish’ And ‘Too Short’
When The Daily Mail shared the photos, fans reacted instantly.
Over 300 fans agreed with the leading comment, one damning Blake’s fashion choice. “She’s gorgeous but horrible dress,” the user wrote. Meanwhile, another fan said: “Rare miss from Blake. Too short and looks childlike, not a great look for a mother of 3.” Blake and husband Ryan have since welcomed a fourth child. The A-lister couple is now parents to kids James, Inez, Betty, and Olin.
Some fans noted that Blake is generally considered a style icon, but even this crowd seemed convinced that she’d picked a bad look. “I usually love her style. But she really missed the mark on this one. That dress is awful” was yet another comment shading the outfit.
Blake has been talking fashion on her Instagram lately. Just this week, the It Ends With Us star promoted her new movie while rocking a black denim two-piece. In her caption, she celebrated Gen-Z bringing the “stretchy dark denim with crystals” trend back.
Fans left over 600,000 likes. Topping replies was a fan praising the actress for looking so great after four children.
“You’ve had 4 kids, are ridiculous gorgeous, intelligent and unbelievably hilarious!?! I hate you. Also, I don’t and keep doing your thing,” the user wrote.
