Blake Lively Leaves Onlookers Breathless in Sheer Lingerie Dress and Sparkling Heels
The streets of Grapevine, Texas were set ablaze last night as style icon Blake Lively descended upon the Book Bonanza event for the upcoming film adaptation of “It Ends With Us.” The Gossip Girl alumna turned every head in the room with a daring sheer dress that left little to the imagination.
Embracing one of this season’s boldest trends, the lingerie-inspired look featured a completely unbuttoned black sheer shirt dress that put Lively’s strapless bra on full display. The star seemed to have taken inspiration from the runway looks at Blumarine and Burberry, where sheer fabrics and exposed underpinnings reigned supreme.
But Blake didn’t stop at just the sheer factor – oh no, this fashion chameleon turned the sultriness up a notch with a micro-mini hemline that showcased her endlessly toned legs. As if that wasn’t enough to set pulses racing, the dress featured an exquisite floral garden motif meticulously constructed from glistening beads and crystals.
The truly jaw-dropping element, however, was the dress’ architectural silhouette. Exaggerated hips and long wispy straps gave Lively a completely reimagined shape, while the bralette-inspired bodice with a keyhole cutout seamlessly transitioned into sheer long sleeves. It was a design made to turn heads and a true work of art.
Of course, no Blake Lively look would be complete without the perfect accessories and footwear. The “Green Lantern” beauty chose to highlight her bronzed, endless pins with a pair of strappy metallic sandals from Christian Louboutin. The skyscraper stilettos featured thin straps adorned with sparkling rhinestones and those signature red lacquered soles.
Lively’s hair and makeup complemented the glamorous look to perfection. Tousled blonde waves were swept up into a low, relaxed updo – effortlessly chic. A warm coral blush gave her cheeks a luminous glow, while light pink lipstick and a hint of highlighter on the high points of her face added a touch of summer radiance.
The mom of four wasn’t afraid to pile on the glitzy jewelry either. Intricate floral-inspired rings and earrings perfectly matched the beaded detailing of her dress, while a shimmering tennis bracelet provided the finishing touches of sparkle.
All eyes were on Lively as she glided past in this high-fashion look – even her “It Ends With Us” co-star Brandon Sklenar and author Colleen Hoover seemed a little awestruck by her bold fashion choices. Blake has long been a red carpet icon, but with this ensemble, she has solidified her status as a true risk-taker who isn’t afraid to push boundaries.
Bravo to Mrs. Lively for this showstopping look that will surely be one of the summer’s most talked about fashion moments!
