Blake Lively?s fashion tour for The Rhythm Section continues. She?s perfected the art of the fashion-blitz promotional tour, and she?s been doing it the same way for years now, basically ever since she became a mom. Part of me stans her efficiency Blake no longer has the time to spend weeks on end trotting all over the globe to promote her movies. So she does three or four days in New York, saturates (or oversaturates) the media market with premieres, appearances, interviews and more, all while doing a fashion show of about ten different looks.
After making her tour all about gloves & boots, Blake changed it up mid-week and made her fashion tour all about? quilted shorts, bejeweled hats and Muppet-esque coats? I don?t hate everything I would love that velvet skirt, and I imagine the blue coat is super-warm. Anyway! During one of her many TV appearances, Blake talked about the stress of life with three kids:
There?s never a dull moment at Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds? house! Lively, 32, stopped by Good Morning America on Tuesday to chat about her new drama The Rhythm Section ? her first film since 2018?s A Simple Favor ? and revealed that since she and her husband welcomed their third daughter late last year, activity at home has sped up considerably.
?At one point, we had three [kids aged] 4 and under,? said Lively, whose oldest daughter, James, turned 5 in December and middle daughter Inez celebrated her 3rd birthday a few months earlier.
After co-host Michael Strahan asked her what it was like going from two to three children, the actress quipped, ?It?s like going from two to 3,000. [We] have so many children. It?s pretty [crazy]. We?re outnumbered. It?s a lot.?
?People say that from two to three, it?s the same, it?s kind of easy. Those people do not have three kids,? Lively joked. ?It is crazy. But I?m here!?
[From People]
I?ve heard similar things from parents with three or more kids, that there are really only three options: you have one child, you have two children, or you have three to a million and it?s all the same level of chaos. I?ve also heard that parents of twins feel superhuman, and if they happen to have just one more kid after twins, they find it so easy and un-stressful. But yeah, three kids under the age of four. YIKES. My uterus just blinked twice and chuckled.

At this point, we can go months without seeing Blake Lively or hearing anything about her. She?s now the mother of three young children (she gave birth to their third last year) and I think she and Ryan Reynolds spend most of their time in Canada or out in their suburban/country home, away from New York and LA. So we only really see her when she?s got something to promote, which is happening right now. Blake?s new film is called The Rhythm Section and the trailers for it are? not great? It doesn?t look like a terrible movie, per se, it just looks super-derivative of the Bourne franchise. But hey, dudes get to star in derivative action-adventure movies all the time, why not ladies?
Anyway, here are some photos from the premiere and from her promotion this week. Blake wore Dolce & Gabbana to the premiere a lush black velvet gown with knee-high boots. The necklace is Lorraine Schwartz, who I?m just going from memory also designed Blake?s engagement ring, right? I love the necklace, honestly, and that one emerald. I do feel like the whole look together is a bit too much though? But she looks lovely. And look at the Hot Young Pope Jude Law!
Other photos from Blake?s promotion I don?t have the ID on these looks, but I do enjoy her promotional fashion shows. She?s telling us that 2020 is all about BOOTS and GLOVES. Let?s take this Big Glove Energy with us into February. Also: that Pink trench is too busy, right?

Before I get to this puff piece about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, it?s worth noting that they were recently in the news for a weird and bad reason. The Knot and Pinterest took the extraordinary step of banning all photos from weddings which take place on former plantations. Blake and Ryan got married on a plantation, and so a lot of sites lead with ?The Knot and Pinterest banned photos of Blake and Ryan?s wedding!? First of all, Blake did give photos of the wedding to Martha Stewart Weddings, but they didn?t show a lot of it. Second, I grew up in the South and it?s really difficult to find any historical property or site in the South which does not have some dark backstory involving slavery, the Confederate Army or the Civil War. I understand why The Knot and Pinterest did what they did and it was a good call. But I also think that some (white) people don?t even know that their wedding venue was the site of some awful atrocity. Then again, Blake did write that ?allure of antebellum? thing, so maybe she knew it was awful and that?s why she chose it.
Now, on to the fluff! Ryan Reynolds is promoting his Michael Bay-Netflix movie 6 Underground and he was asked what he and Blake binge-watch. His answer surprised me:
Ever wondered what Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively like to bing together on Netflix? The answer might surprise you. Speaking with PEOPLE at the Tuesday premiere of his new Netflix movie 6 Underground, directed by Transformers? Michael Bay, Reynolds revealed they most enjoy watching the cooking reality show, The Great British Bake Off.
?You weren?t expecting that, were you?? the Deadpool star joked. ?We live in a world that?s pretty divisive right now and there?s a lot going on. And I like that show just because it?s a nice thing to watch at night. Everybody on the show is nice to each other, which I find refreshing. It?s sort of sweet. It?s not really about anything that?s going to remind you of chaos.?
[From People]
GBBO is on-brand for Blake but not on-brand for Ryan. But I can see how he would have gotten drawn into it GBBO is so soothing and restful and peaceful. CB and I talked about that on episode 31 of the Gossip with Celebitchy podcast GBBO is set in a lovely tent on peaceful English property, surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery. All of the contestants have soft British accents and they care so much about baking cakes and sometimes someone cries while they?re watching their muffins rise. I could see Ryan watching it to humor Blake and then getting really involved with who *should* win and whose cake looks half-baked.

People were bizarrely calling this in the comments of some Taylor Swift stories the past few weeks apparently, it?s been something of a Snake Fam ?conspiracy? that Taylor has given her fans some clues about? Blake Lively being pregnant again. Blake and Taylor are friendly, and it would make sense if Taylor knew about Blake?s pregnancy months ago. I guess. Anyway, Blake confirmed her third pregnancy last night on the red carpet premiere of Pokmon Detective Pikachu in New York.
Blake?s not part of the movie, but her husband Ryan Reynolds is the voice of Pikachu. Actors always get props when they really commit to doing voice work in movies like Pikachu. Think of how much good press Bradley Cooper got for voicing a raccoon in the Marvel movies, you know? And kids love Ryan. Anyway, Blake?s presence already made the premiere a big event, but the fact that she debuted her bump makes it an international headline. Well played. In case you?re wondering, their daughter James (the eldest daughter) is 4 years old and their second daughter, Inez, is 2 years old (will be three in October). They?ve spaced out their babies pretty well.
Blake?s maternity look is Retroftes Rebecca Dress. Lots of women wore yellow on this carpet because Pikachu is yellow. She?s always such a glowing pregnant lady pregnancy really agrees with her, right? That being said, I hate this hair trend those curls are not natural, it just looks like she got an ?80s style perm.

Here are some photos from last night?s premiere of A Simple Favor. Anna Kendrick wore a Cushnie dress, and Blake Lively wore a Givenchy ensemble which? I don?t really get? Like, why is she going to heavy and dark for the premiere? Blake?s known for her promotional tour fashion shows, and very few women use fashion to such effect while promoting their films. Blake?s been wearing a lot of menswear-inspired stuff during this tour, and I wouldn?t have hated it if she had worn a really great tailored suit. But this just looks so? blah.
To promote the film, Blake chatted with USA Today about the film (where she plays a housewife with a dark, mysterious past), booze and parenting. Some highlights:
Blake actually dislikes the taste of booze: I am the in-house mixologist in my family, but I dont drink, which is the joke. People come over and I start to pull out the shaker and muddler, and theyre like, Why is she making me a drink? This is going to be terrible. And I say, Just trust me.
Feeling inadequate as a parent: Every good parent I know is hard on themselves, which is beautiful, because it means that you care. I live for my family, so where I might have insecurities about other things in my life, I know Im giving the best of myself to my family. Thats not to say Im without plenty of mistakes, but Im confident that everybody knows how loved they are. I sleep easiest at night knowing Im at least giving it my all.
[From USA Today]
I have to admit, I find that Blake is doing a good job at walking that line between ?I live for my family? versus ?judging other women who make different choices.? Blake has had few moments where she?s said something out of touch about parenting or drawn the ire of the mommy mafia. Which is a precarious balancing act in and of itself, especially for a celebrity woman. As for what she says about drinking? no, really, how does she know she?s making a good cocktail if she hates the taste of booze? You know what I?ve never liked? The taste of gin. I would have no idea what kind of gin-based cocktail would taste good because I can?t stand the taste. *mixes gin with tomato juice and calls it a ?Bloody Lively?*

I never really thought of Blake Lively as a fashion icon, but she?s been trying her best to make tailored pantsuits have a moment.
In a Women Wear Daily interview in March, the 30-year-old actress revealed that she was her own stylist. When asked why, she admitted it was ?Probably because I have control issues and a big ego ? that?s probably the honest answer.? She went on to add that ?I just like it. I love design and I love fashion and it?s a way to be creative.? Her creativity has recently been expressed through a whole lot of pantsuits, like the tuxedo-esque Ralph & Russo ensemble she wore at the VMAs on Monday night.
During rehearsals for the VMAs on Monday, Blake was spotted in a linen, pastel menswear-inspired suit from Vivienne Westwood?s Fall 2018 collection. She finished the look with a loose-fitting blouse from Sonia Rykiel and Christian Louboutin flats (he makes flats? You learn something new everyday, I guess). Love the blush shade of the suit, and I would definitely wear that blouse with a pair of jeans, but I don?t like the ?I just pulled this out of the hamper? feelings this suit is giving me. Linen is an often problematic fabric. Hate, hate, hate the shoes.
Blake is making the promotional rounds for her latest movie, the Paul Feig-directed crime drama A Simple Favor, so she?s had lots of opportunities to show off some of the other suits in her wardrobe, including a velvet number from Brunello Cucinelli that she wore on Friday. She?s wearing a jacket over another jacket albeit a sleeveless one and no shirt this time around. I live in Atlanta, not New York, but I can?t imagine it?s ?jacket weather? there yet. She must be hot, right? This suit is giving me a bohemian vibe, maybe it?s the velvet, but I guess it?s okay. The spiked Louboutin pumps she?s wearing with this suit are infinitely better than those flats. I really like them.
Also on Friday, she was seen because there?s no way you could miss her in a neon green Versace jacket, pants and sweater. Fun fact: the jacket is from Versace?s Spring 2019 Men?s collection. I actually kind of like this one. Yes, she looks like a walking highlighter, but it?s bright and the most late summer-appropriate outfit she?s worn during this latest parade of pantsuits.
Did the circus come to town? That?s the only thing I can think about when seeing Blake in this checkered monstrosity from Roland Mouret that she modeled on Saturday. She added accessories that hearken back to her Gossip Girl days, including a collared shirt and tie (tucked into her pantswhy?), a saddle bag and a Lorraine Schwartz brooch. Nope. Nope, nope, nope.
I also kind of dig this three-piece pinstriped suit from Zimmerman seen on Sunday. I?ve always been a sucker for a nice, tailored vest though. I have a small(-ish) waist and bigger legs, so I think these wide leg pants could actually work on me as well. Maybe that?s why I like this one? But still, there?s so much fabric going on here. I admire her ability to not look like she?s sweating to death. I guess I can also admire her commitment to her pantsuits, but Im kind of ready for the next chapter in her fashion narrative.

Here are some photos of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds at the New York premiere of Deadpool 2, which is going by DP2 in promotional material. The Deadpool franchise is Ryan?s baby, and it?s been built with Ryan?s blood, sweat and tears. Blake knows that. So she?s always a little bit extra when she helps support her husband for Deadpool duty.
For the premiere, Blake wore a Brandon Maxwell dress in the ?Deadpool colors? of black and red. She paired the dress with Louboutin heels, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a Judith Leiber clutch that looked like a ?party mix tape.? Thoughts on the ensemble? I always think Blake looks like one part needs a minor tweak to be absolutely perfect, and for this look, I would say that it was her hair that needed the tweak. The combo of the too-long earrings with the flattened hair is not great. But otherwise, it?s fine and she looks cute here.
On the red carpet, Ryan talked about how in real life, he?s a lot different than Deadpool, obviously. He told People: ?Oh, I?m a little more [sentimental]. I can lay it on pretty thick. I?ve always been sentimental ? since I was a kid.?

I kind of enjoy the fact that Blake Lively always wants to wear the biggest gown to the Met Gala. I mean, part of it is thirst, but then again the Met Gala rewards the thirst. It?s the one place where you should go bigger and crazier. But? while Blake?s Versace look was big and notable, was it also sort of? boring? I?ve been struggling to really understand how she interpreted the theme. I?m sure this is probably based on some Medieval or Renaissance art work, but does it mean anything if people don?t get that? At what point is this just an overdone ballgown with a headpiece?
Speaking of not really getting it, I love Doutzen Kroes, but I don?t love her in this Sies Marjan look.
Cardi B went for something more obvious in this Moschino. I love her.

Did you know Blake Lively doesn?t have a stylist?!?!?! This is the biggest breaking news since ?Friends costars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are friends in real life!? One of Blake Lively?s biggest claims to fashion-fame is that she doesn?t have a stylist, that she talks to designers directly, that she has developed her own fashion eye, and that she really enjoys styling herself. It?s her ?thing.? Now, do you believe that? I believe she doesn?t technically have one stylist working for her. But I believe she works with stylists who work for particular designers or design houses all the time. Still, there is a distinction, so whatever. In any case, Blake Lively gave an interview to Women?s Wear Daily about how she?s her own stylist. You can read the piece here. Some highlights:
Acting as her own stylist: ?It?s a lot of work ? I mean, it?s not hard in that we all dress ourselves every morning. So once you have the clothes, you just pick out what to wear like any other human being does. But it?s easier because you have access to clothes and so it?s not that hard. The hard part is going through all the fashion shows and screenshotting all the looks you like and calling them in. I have an assistant who helps in calling in the looks. But a lot of it is I have relationships with the designers.?
This year?s Met Gala look is already in the works: ?I just sent Lorraine Schwartz and Christian Louboutin my dress, and said, ?Ok let?s do something special.? They?re making something custom for it. So it?s kind of nice, because I have a bunch of artists around me who I have direct relationships with. It?s sort of a group effort with that. I rely on people who do that for a living rather than outsourcing it to someone else.?
She does it because she has control issues: ?Probably because I have control issues and a big ego ? that?s probably the honest answer. I just like it. I love design and I love fashion and it?s a way to be creative. In my job I get to be creative, but it?s over a period of time and so many other people are involved, whereas this is a beginning, middle and end, and I get to be creative and there?s an end date in the near future. It?s the same reason why I like doing my friends? hair and makeup or cooking ? you get to be creative and finish it. Whereas with my job you do it and then two years later it?s finished. It probably goes back to the control issues; it?s like, ?Ok I did it, I completed it, it?s done!??
[From WWD]
I think if you?re one of those women who enjoy fashion and styling and makeup, then you probably should act as your own stylist. It does seem like fun, especially if you have those designer connections and you can just call up Michael Kors and ask him to make something for you. The thing is, all I can think about is how time-consuming it must be, especially for any given actress who has to attend dozens of red carpets a year. Don?t you get sort of burnt out on it? Doesn?t it become un-fun at some point?

Sarah at Cinesnark/LaineyGossip referred to Blake Lively as our new ?B-movie queen,? and I find that rather fitting. In another era, and in a parallel universe where Blake had less hustle and wasn?t married to Ryan Reynolds, she would be in Lifetime movies. But since she?s the queen of the hustle and she?s A-list by marriage, she gets to star in movies. At some point, she just stopped trying to do ?important work? in smaller roles in more prestigious films. Now she?s only doing starring, lead roles in small-budget B-movies. And it works for her.
These are photos of Blake filming The Rhythm Section in Dublin this week. Some sites have claimed that Blake is playing a homeless woman. I suspect that?s being said because of the busted wig and the clothes, although I?ve never seen anyone homeless wear such a well-cut coat or ?ugly? sweatpants that drape so flatteringly. Blake is not doing ?homeless cosplay.? She?s playing Stephanie Patrick, a woman ?pushed over the edge by the violent deaths of her family, [who] survives only by taking other identities.? From the Amazon description of the book (the source material for the script):
Stephanie Patrick?s world was destroyed by the Atlantic aircrash. Falling into a downward spiral of prostitution, drugs and drink, she is picked up by a journalist who has discovered that it was a bomb that caused the crash. And it is his murder that pulls her out of herself.
The Rhythm Section is not a thriller about the hunt for a terrorist, although that is the path Stephanie takes, and it?s not a story about revenge, although justice for her family is her initial motivation. Rather, The Rhythm Section is the story of Stephanie?s attempt to reclaim herself. She has to rediscover who she is through a series of roles that she is forced to play; she is never herself. As a prostitute, she is Lisa, the chemical blonde. Later, she is Petra Reuter, German anarchist turned mercenary terrorist. Sometimes, she is Marina Gaudenzi, a Swiss businesswoman, or she?s Susan Branch, an American student, or Elizabeth Shepherd, an English management consultant.
[From Amazon]
Stephanie (a terrible spy name) ends up being recruited by a spy agency and she falls in love or something. This sounds like an excuse for Blake to try to do different accents (GOOD LUCK) and wear a lot of wigs. It sounds like Alias mixed with Atomic Blonde mixed with? like, James Bond, or something. It?s going to be a mess. But hey, someone has to do it. Why not Blake?
Ryan teased her on Instagram too:
