Blake Lively wore Ryan Reynolds' $990 Thom Browne shirt - & shared her style rule
Who needs a stylist when you have a stylish husband? Blake Lively answered that question over the weekend by skipping her own side of the closet and going straight for Ryan Reynolds' instead. It turns out the ultimate luxury accessory is a husband with good taste in button-downs.
The actress dipped into Reynolds' wardrobe for a mirror selfie, borrowing one of his Thom Browne button-downs. "Find a husband you can share clothes with," the "It Ends With Us" star captioned her Instagram Story. For anyone already plotting to borrow the rest of the look, she added a quick clarification: the "fab vintage bag" in the shot is "not his." The mirror selfie offered a rare peek at her off-duty style after a long stretch out of the spotlight.
Reynolds' goose-embroidered designer button-down originally retailed for $990. The accessories sat in a very different price bracket. A vintage blue denim Hermès Kelly bag like the one Lively carried recently sold for $23,500 via Sotheby's. She finished the outfit with two-toned loafers, pink socks and a navy scarf tied around her neck.
Back in the spotlight
Lively has made a signature of dressing herself rather than leaning on a professional stylist, so the borrowed-shirt moment reads more like a marriage flex than a fashion emergency. The casual mirror snap also doubles as one of her first peeks back into public view after a quiet stretch.
Following a prolonged legal battle, the star had been noticeably absent from the spotlight. Last week she reemerged on the New York party circuit for a Brent Neale holiday event on the Upper East Side, wearing a vintage sequined Chanel dress and piling on Neale's jewelry, including a pair of $38,850 diamond-covered bow earrings and four dazzling statement rings.
Her Betty Buzz beverage brand may be no more, but Lively's flair for fashion is clearly still alive and well, even when it comes straight from Reynolds' hangers. For now, his side of the closet appears to be open for business.
