Blake Lively felt “so lucky” to wear Britney Spears’ multi-coloured Versace dress to the premiere of her new film.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star, 36, paid tribute to the pop superstar by walking the red carpet at a screening of ‘It Ends With Us’ in New York on Tuesday (06.08.24) wearing a glitzy gown previously seen on Spears back in 2002 – and Blake felt honoured to be able to wear the special frock.
She told PEOPLE: “It is Britney’s actual dress. It should be in the Smithsonian or the Met, but it’s on me … I feel so lucky.”
Blake went on to add a sweet message in honour of Spears on her Instagram page, writing: “Today’s mood. The ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories.
“Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment, or of years that you made us want to shine and inspire awe, with strength, and joy and immensely hard work. Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories. So excited about your Biopic and all you have to come.”
Blake recently revealed she’s been enjoying the “method dressing” technique to help bring her movie characters to life.
