Blake Lively is carrying her “A Simple Favor” character’s least favorite item.
On Tuesday, the actress, 37, stepped out at a photocall for the forthcoming sequel in London, looking prim and proper in head-to-toe Chanel.
The star paired an oversized black and yellow wool cardigan with a black mini skirt, sheer tights and knee-high heeled boots.
Lively also carried the luxury brand’s limited edition black and gold Camera Bag ($12,750.00), which doubles as a fun Easter egg, making reference to the 2018 prequel.
In one fan-favorite scene from the start of the film, Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) snaps a photo of Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) for their sons’ school yearbook. Following the photograph, Nelson’s fairly friendly demeanor totally shifts, telling Smothers to “erase it, or I’ll slap a f—king injunction on your yearbook.”
The subtle character dressing didn’t stop there. Lively further accessorized with stacks of gold rings and a pair of dangling lemon wedge earrings ($66) — a nod to Nelson’s go-to martini order.
To ensure her earrings were visible, Lively styled her long blond locks in a half-up beehive hairdo complete with a diamond-encrusted flower barrette.
Lively kicked off her character dressing at a March photocall following the SXSW 2025 red carpet premiere of the highly anticipated sequel.
She wore a bedazzled peach set and carried a Judith Leiber martini-shaped clutch ($5,795) as an homage to her character’s favorite beverage.
In the first film, Nelson reveals the secret to a “real martini”: a frozen martini glass, frozen gin, spilled vermouth (yes, on the floor) and, most importantly, a lemon twist. “And don’t add f—king ice. Ever.”
The clutch-version of the movie’s iconic cocktail is absolutely covered in crystals of all shapes and sizes, and of course topped with a crystal-encrusted yellow lemon slice.
We can’t wait to see how Lively accessorizes her next Nelson-inspired look.
