Blake Lively’s role in “Gossip Girl” solidified her fashion icon status, yet not all her outfits hit the mark like the ones on the show.
Known for her impeccable style, Lively’s fashion choices garnered attention and admiration. Despite her success, some outfits have left critics unimpressed.
Lively preferred styling herself, eschewing the need for a professional stylist. However, this independent approach didn’t always guarantee sartorial success and often left her open to critique.
A Miss in Disney Star Territory with Rolled-Up Pants
Blake Lively’s appearance at the Kids’ Choice Awards during her “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” days raised eyebrows with an ensemble that seemed better suited for a Disney Channel star.
Choosing a powder-blue cami from Forever 21, Lively paired it with a sheer pink crop top, low-rise Abercrombie & Fitch jeans, studded heels, and a pink belt. The outfit, while daring, missed the mark and failed to impress fashion critics.
Despite attempts to pass off her attire as vintage, Lively’s unconventional styling choices fell short of expectations, landing her on the list of fashion mishaps.
An Overwhelming Lace Affair
During the promotional tour for “The Age of Adaline,” Blake Lively sported a challenging outfit that missed the elegance mark she aimed for.
Her heavy lace mini dress and coat from Valentino seemed overwhelming, resembling a patchwork creation with a bulky, shapeless look. The lace overload failed to exude the sophistication she intended in her attire.
Despite challenges like post-pregnancy outfit swaps and time constraints, Lively’s fashion choices didn’t resonate well, leaving room for improvement in her wardrobe selections.
**Unflattering Choices with a Silver Lining**
Blake Lively’s bold fashion choices didn’t always hit the mark, as seen during an event where she sported a Lanvin gown that was less than flattering. Despite the roomy fit that resembled baby blankets, the outfit missed the mark with its awkward slit and leather harness. The overall ensemble gave off a fantasy TV series vibe rather than a superhero film nod.
**A Luxe Look Out of Place**
At the 2024 Super Bowl, Blake Lively’s outfit raised eyebrows with a red tracksuit paired with excessive gold jewelry worth around $500,000. The mismatched combination created mafia vibes and drew comparisons to Sandlercore fashion. Lively admitted that she may have overdone the jewelry, leading to a look that felt out of place at a sporting event.
**Fruit Roll-Up Spice**
Describing her outfit choices as taking on different characters, Blake Lively once again puzzled fashion critics with a Balmain dress that resembled a sweet snack. The off-the-shoulder mini dress, adorned with ruching and floral details, was likened to a fruit roll-up or a costume from a dance competition. Despite the bold color and floral accessories, the outfit was criticized for being overly coordinated and cartoonish.
