Blake Lively Impresses In Plunging Leather Dress That's 'Unflattering'

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.

Scroll for the photos. Squeezing her curves into the tightest of dresses, Blake channeled the leather trend in a deep-cut, sleeveless dress with stitching holding together a paneled bodice. Displaying her incredible figure as she flashed her toned legs, the It Ends With Us star rocked sheer black stockings and a coordinating pair of black leather boots, with metallic studding on her footwear adding even more pizzazz.

Alongside delivering an eye-popping cleavage display, Blake showed off her luscious locks, wearing her hair down and a little waved. 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.

Over 170 users agreed when a fan replied: "That is a truly terrible look." 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." A third called the outfit "unflattering," with another fan echoing the thought as they said: "Unflattering. And she's a beautiful girl."

Photos of Blake with songstress Tayor also circulated as the wife to Ryan Reynolds asserted her Swiftie status and elite Tay-Tay squad membership. Regardless, users seemed to slam the outfit. "Not the best outfit but she is so pretty and has that subtle quality about herself that she can wear whatever she wants and never looks trashy" was yet another reply.

Blake has since made headlines for channeling all things floral as she spent much of August method dressing for her It Ends With Us movie.

On August 8, Blake turned heads in this floral-embellished column gown as she wore a Tamara Ralph dress to promote her new movie. The actress has been injecting flower themes into much of her summer 2024 wardrobe as she honors her on-screen Lily Bloom character, who plays a florist.
