They aren't granting her a pass just yet. Blake Lively found herself under the scrutinizing gaze of her eagle-eyed fans during the red carpet event for her latest film, "Another Simple Favor," in New York City over the weekend. The 37-year-old "Gossip Girl" star appeared radiant in her blue gown, featuring cutouts along the bodice that flattered her figure, as she graced the Jazz at Lincoln Center.
With not a strand of hair out of place and her makeup looking flawless, it seemed like a perfect red carpet moment. However, some fans couldn't help but notice a less-than-perfect detail: her spray tan had rubbed off onto her arms and dress.
One Instagram user commented on the look, remarking, "The body makeup all over her dress is sending me into a tizzy." Another pointed out the telltale signs, writing, "All the tanner stains around the armpit area are quite noticeable." A third fan, referencing Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni, penned, "Gross, you can clearly see her spray tan on her dress, especially under the armpit. For someone who publicly mocked her co-star's large nose among other things, she has now become susceptible to the same kind of criticism."
Yet, others were unbothered by the stains and showered praise on her stunning appearance. One person commented under Page Six's Instagram post, "She is the epitome of perfection; it's surreal!" Another fan gushed, "Whoever is dressing her deserves an award! She has slayed every red carpet, and her hair is absolutely goals!" A third fan commented under a separate Instagram photo of Lively, exclaiming, "This dress is absolutely everything!"
In the past few days, Lively has seemingly put her legal drama with Baldoni behind her, focusing instead on promoting her new movie alongside Anna Kendrick. For the recent premiere, the "Age of Adeline" star stepped out in unison with her husband of 13 years, Ryan Reynolds. The couple, accompanied by publicist Leslie Sloane, was sued for defamation and extortion by Baldoni, who starred in and directed "It Ends With Us." Lively had accused him of sexual harassment, allegations that Baldoni has vehemently denied. The trial between the two co-stars is scheduled to commence in 2026.
