The Hidden Message You Probably Missed in Blake Lively's Met Gala 2018 Outfit


Though it may have seemed as though Blake Lively flew solo at this year’s Met Gala, her family—husband Ryan Reynolds and daughters James and Ines—were with her in spirit. More specifically, she carried them with her: Lively had a Judith Leiber clutch custom-made with the Reynolds family crest.

If you look closely, you’ll see that Lively’s rhinestone-embellished handbag has intricate scenes depicted on either side. On the front, it’s classic “sacred heart” iconography behind a veiled woman, in keeping with the theme of this year’s Costume Institute exhibit, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”; on the other, there’s a riff on a medieval family crest, which, at the very center of a scroll, reads “Reynolds.”

Here’s a close-up of both sides of Lively’s clutch.

The Reynolds crest is in the shape of a cross, and on each of the four points there’s a jewel with a letter in the middle: B, R, J, and I—the first initials of each member of the Reynolds-Lively family. Does this count as James and Ines’s first Met Gala appearance?

The clutch paired perfectly with the rest of Lively’s breathtaking ensemble: She wore a crimson Versace gown with a gold, richly embroidered bodice, bejeweled straps, and an extra-long train—all of which took more than 600 hours to create by hand. Besides the meaningful handbag, she accessorized with a golden, halo-esque headpiece, Christian Louboutin pumps, bright green earrings, and a stack of gold bracelets.

Reynolds attended the 2017 Met Gala in human, rather than bedazzled accessory form. Inside the event last year, he shared a sweet love note to his wife via the popular Humans of New York Instagram account: “She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person.”

Blake Lively Wears Red Hair With Pin-Up Bangs on the Set of Her New Movie


Blake Lively is nothing if not committed to switching up her beauty looks for a movie role. The latest example comes courtesy of her upcoming project The Rhythm Section, which is currently filming. In it, she plays Stephanie Patrick, a woman who loses her family in a plane crash—and when she finds out that the crash may not have been an accident, she becomes an undercover assassin to track the culprits down. Since it started filming, we’ve caught her in no fewer than three completely different looks; this latest one, which features Blake in long red hair and pin-up-like baby bangs, looks so different we did a major double-take.

It wasn’t that long ago—just back in November—that photos of her on set emerged showing a Blake we honestly didn’t recognize at first: in a short, shaggy wig with a grown-out, brassy dye job that was a far cry from the rather glam Blake of the Long Golden Waves we normally see in red carpet and paparazzi pics. And then, in early December, Blake posted an Instagram of herself in a jet-black pixie cut.

But with the new year comes another new Blake—though, strictly speaking, the look is a first for the film only. After all, we’ve seen Blake with long red hair before: Remember her mermaid-like copper waves in 2011? Of course, this is a different kind of red (golden-red, to be precise). And check out that retro fringe!

We can’t wait to see what other looks this role throws our way—and to see them all together when the film finally comes out next February.

Blake Lively Is Totally Unrecognizable on the Set of Her New Movie


Blake Lively’s made a habit of picking roles post-Gossip Girl that have required her to transform in some way. In 2016’s The Shallows, she swapped her signature glam aesthetic for a sandy wetsuit and beach waves. In All I See Is You, which premiered last month, Lively dyed her hair chestnut brown—a far cry from the bright, California blond she’s known for. And in A Simple Favor, her new movie with Anna Kendrick due out next year, she looks straight out of Orange Is the New Black.

But she makes her most drastic change, hands down, in the upcoming thriller The Rhythm Section, which is based on the bestselling book series by Mark Burnell and also stars Jude Law. Lively plays Stephanie Patrick, a woman whose family dies in what she originally thinks is a plane accident. However, when she discovers the crash was intentional, she goes undercover as an assassin to find the people responsible.

And these new photos from the set show just how “undercover” Lively looks. The actress is virtually unrecognizable in the short, shaggy wig she’s required to wear for the role. Don’t take our word for it, though. Check it out for yourself, below:

Granted, we’re not 100 percent sure this is a wig. For all we know, she could’ve actually chopped her hair off for this movie—but that’s unlikely. Lively will probably have multiple looks in The Rhythm Section because her character is trying to navigate the world unseen. Who knows, though. Maybe this movie will inspire Lively to cut her hair shorter IRL. Serena van der Woodsen would truly be gone if that happened.

The Rhythm Section is slated for a 2019 release.

Kendall Jenner Has Reportedly Made Things Official With Blake Griffin


Just a week after Kendall Jenner was spotted sitting court side at the Clippers vs. Lakers basketball game, supporting her rumored beau Blake Griffin, a power forward for the Clippers, Us Weekly is confirming the relationship. They are officially an item—or, at least, as official as something can be when it’s confirmed by anonymous sources.

“They’re legit. They’re a full-on couple,” the source told Us. “Kendall has been going to a lot of his games and they have been enjoying time at home when Blake is in town. They’re good.”

The two have been spotted out on multiple occasions before, always looking smiley and cuddly. Recently, the pair took a trip to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood with Kylie Jenner and her BF Travis Scott. At that point, a source told People that “[Kendall] thinks [Blake] is dorky and funny, but also cool and sexy—he has a certain attractive ‘swagger,'” and that “they are seeing each other more, and Blake is doing everything in his power to make Kendall his girlfriend.”

There were also several restaurant dates between the two as well as an outing to catch It and they were even spotted at a concert. But this is the first time that someone close to the couple has said that they’re more than just hanging out.

Previously, Kendall was linked to A$AP Rocky, but the supermodel also never officially confirmed that pairing. It’s unsurprising considering she previously told Harper’s Bazaar she prefers to stay tight-lipped about her personal life (as is her right). “If I’m not fully, fully in it with someone, why would I make it public to everyone else?” she said.

Blake Lively Just Hilariously Trolled Ryan Reynolds for His Birthday


Much fuss is made over Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ seemingly perfect marriage, and for good reason: They’re absolutely hilarious together. Sure, they have their serious moments—like the time Ryan praised Blake for making him “a more empathetic person”—but the two are best when they’re trolling each other.

Take, for example, the time Blake called Ryan out for blocking her photo of John Legend. There’s also the musical prank Ryan played on Blake while she was giving birth to their first daughter, James. (So rude, by the way!) And we can’t forget the GIF Ryan tweeted of Blake that compared their first date to her shark movie, The Shallows.

One of the couple’s funniest moments, though, happened this summer, when Ryan posted on Instagram to honor Blake on her birthday. There was just one problem: He cropped half of her face out of the photo.

Well, it seems Blake has taken the strategy of “don’t get mad, get even” to heart. Here’s what she just posted today on Instagram to celebrate Ryan’s birthday:

She followed that slick move with this tweet:

Well done, Blake, well done. Ryan, meanwhile, had his own birthday jokes to share on Twitter, writing, “My kids tried to surprise me for my birthday this morning. I totally heard them coming and snuck out to start a new life somewhere else.”

But don’t worry about this tweet offending Blake—in fact, his sense of humor is one of the many reasons why she loves her husband. “He’ll run [his tweets] by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I’m so in love with him when he writes that stuff. I mean, I’m in love with him most of the time, but especially with that,” she told Glamour earlier this year. “I treat him like my girlfriend. I’m like, ‘Hey, this happened. It upset me. This is how I feel. What do I do?’ And he does the same for me. He treats me like his best buddy.”

Blake Lively Says It 'Isn't Enough' to 'Stand in Solidarity' With Harvey Weinstein's Accusers

Since The New York Times and The New Yorker published stories about Harvey Weinstein’s decades of alleged sexual misconduct, many celebrities have voiced support for the ousted producer’s accusers. But Blake Lively says that’s not enough.

“It’s more than just, ‘Oh, we’re talking about it and we’re supporting it,’ it’s action,” she said Monday on Good Morning America. “Everybody says that they stand in solidarity, but you have to show that you stand in solidarity.”

Her call to action, which was applauded and cheered by the studio audience, was the conclusion of a thoughtful impromptu speech about how to address the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace.

“I think it’s important we acknowledge this isn’t just Hollywood,” Lively began. “This is so much more global. And it’s not just, ‘Oh, guess what, this is what’s happening to women suddenly.’ This has been happening since the beginning of time, but now people are finally talking about it and I think that’s what’s important.”

Lively added just because one isn’t personally a victim of sexual harassment or assault, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

“Where I never had experiences like this with Harvey myself, I only
had positive ones with him, but that goes to show where you don’t
always see what goes on behind closed doors. So I think that when
people come forward, your bosses have to acknowledge it. There’s been
moments when I’ve come forward, other people have come forward with
things that just feel a little [inappropriate] and you’re not sure,
but when your bosses tell you that this is not priority to them, then
you think, ‘Okay, well this must not be that big of a deal. Maybe what
I’m complaining about isn’t really that big of a deal.’ And it is.”

Lively has revealed her own experiences with reporting sexual harassment, only to get blown off by her employers. Last week, she told The Los Angeles Times about a makeup artist who harassed her by filming her while she was sleeping. When she reported him to the project’s producers, however, they failed to take any action, she said. The makeup artist was only removed after her lawyer got involved and prompted the producers to begin an investigation. And he left with a letter of recommendation, she told the LA Times.

Previously, Lively had spoken about the importance of believing people like herself and Weinstein’s accusers, who include Gwyneth Paltrow and Rose McGowan, when they speak out about their experiences with sexual harassment and assault. “The number-one thing that can happen is that people who share their stories, people have to listen to them and trust them, and people have to take it seriously,” she told The Hollywood Reporter last Tuesday. “As important as it is to remain furious about this, it’s important to also say that this exists everywhere, so remember to look everywhere. This isn’t a single incident. This cannot happen, this should not happen, and it happens in every single industry.”
