A Star-Studded Premiere
Blake Lively recently lit up the red carpet at the New York City premiere of "It Ends With Us," where she stars as Lily Bloom. The movie, based on Colleen Hoover's novel, has fans and fashion enthusiasts alike buzzing, especially about Lively's stunning fashion choices throughout the press tour. Her looks have become instant favorites for many, earning a spot on inspiration boards across Pinterest.
Vintage Versace with a Twist
For the premiere, Lively donned a breathtaking Versace dress adorned with a vibrant mix of blue, purple, green, and yellow, along with butterfly decorations. This wasn't just any dress; it was the very piece Britney Spears wore during the Versace Spring 2003 runway show. While the dress itself was a showstopper, it was Lively's manicure that caught the attention of many, perfectly complementing her ensemble with a special homage to the dress's design.
Manicure with a Message
Lively's nails were crafted into a short, squoval shape, featuring a sheer pink gel base with delicate floral and butterfly accents. The inspiration behind the look? None other than Britney Spears circa 2002. Elle Gerstein, Lively's long-time celebrity manicurist, shared that revisiting this iconic early 2000s look brought the theme of rebirth to life, symbolized by the butterfly - known as the guardian of gardens. Lively herself played a role in adding the butterfly and floral designs, making the manicure even more personal.
Get the Look
For fans eager to replicate Lively's manicure, Gerstein began with a base coat of OPI GelColor Stay Classic, followed by two coats of OPI Switch to Portrait Mode. She then meticulously created dotted flowers using a trio of OPI shades: Stop at Nothin', Lookin Cute-icle, and Alpine Snow. The result? A manicure that's not only a nod to a fashion icon but also a wearable piece of art.
A Closer Look
If you're as captivated by Blake Lively's premiere manicure as we are, you're not alone. The combination of nostalgic inspiration and personal touches makes this look one to remember. For those looking to bring a bit of Lively's style into their own beauty routines, trying out this manicure might just be the perfect start.
