Blake Lively is no stranger to serving statement-making couture moments, and this time, she's making headlines with a bold nod to pop royalty. At the recent "Another Simple Favor" after-party in New York City, the actress stepped out in a striking butter yellow ensemble that fashion enthusiasts quickly linked to an iconic Beyoncé look.
The after-party look was a noticeable shift from Lively's earlier appearance at the screening, where she stunned in a powder blue Tamara Ralph gown with mermaid-inspired details. But once the red carpet lights dimmed, Lively leaned fully into her signature sense of fun and a little inspiration from Beyoncé's style file.
Breaking down Blake’s bold Beyoncé-inspired yellow look
For the after-hours event, Lively oozed a sunshine-ready three-piece outfit straight from Sergio Hudson's Spring 2025 runway. The vibrant butter yellow co-ord featured a short-sleeved knit top tucked into a sleek silk maxi skirt, all pulled together with a matching belt that cinched her waist.
Though the outfit showcased almost exactly Beyoncé’s Glamour Woman of the Year appearance from last fall, Lively added her own cheeky spin through accessories that made the look unmistakably hers.
She complemented her look with a standout novelty bag by Judith Leiber. The clutch, priced at reportedly $5,795 (Rs 4,94,000 approx.), was shaped like a lemon drop martini and sparkled under the lights with its full crystal embellishments. This playful purse was not just a statement piece; it also complemented the Amalfi Coast aesthetic that Lively has been embracing during the film's press tour.
Rounding out the ensemble were ombré Christian Louboutin heels, also covered in shimmering detail, and a fresh pair of lemon-shaped earrings that doubled down on the citrus-core vibe.
While Lively’s twist included quirky accessories, Beyoncé’s earlier version of the Sergio Hudson set leaned toward vintage drama. The music icon wore the ensemble with a bold, 60s-inspired blonde wig that gave her a runway-editorial feel. While, Lively styled her shiny, blonde hair in a side-parted natural wave.
Lastly, for the final glam, 'It Ends With Us' opted for her signature makeup look with rosy cheeks, highlighter and nude, glossy lips.
