Blake Lively is the queen of method dressing. Period.
The multi-hyphenate, 36, has been honing the skill way before her Hollywood comrades. In fact, she was doing it as early as 2018, when she committed to tailored suits while doing promo for A Simple Favor.
Now that Lively, who takes pride in being her own stylist, is heading back to the big screen for It Ends with Us (out Aug. 9), she's curated a whole new wardrobe for the press tour, which kicked off back in June at Book Bonanza.
Lively leads as florist Lily Bloom and in honor of her eclectic style, the actress has been wearing all the floral-inspired looks imaginable (Bloom, flowers — get it?) and planting Easter eggs into her outfits (Ryan Reynolds wasn't wrong when he called his wife a "hyper obsessive detail addicted," star).
"I tend to dress like my characters when I'm doing a movie because fashion is always the way in. I tend to dress like the character because I fall in love with whatever that is," Lively recently told PEOPLE.
See the looks Lively has worn in her Lily Bloom era.
