Blake Lively managed to make the best of a dress deemed "unflattering" by fans last year. In December 2023, the Gossip Girl star turned heads in a plunging black dress as she attended singer Taylor Swift's 34th birthday party, with photos showing her all smiles as she joined the star-studded crowd invited by the Grammy-winning singer. Flaunting her curves in a skintight dress with a racy leg slit, Blake turned heads in street shots as she made her way to the party, but the haters were waiting for her in the comments. While Blake usually passes the celebrity-style files with flying colors, this crowd just wasn't feeling her look.

The 37-year-old accessorized her all-black look with a clutch purse in patterned brown and black, also rocking hoop earrings and bangles for a stylish finish. The images, reposted on Instagram, were also shared by The Daily Mail, and it was here that users slammed Blake's fashion choice.

Trying not to shame the actress, another said: "Blake has an amazing figure but even she can't pull off the outfit she is wearing."
