Blake Lively Channels Blair Waldorf in Stunning Autumn Look

Attention all fashion enthusiasts! Blake Lively was recently spotted in the heart of New York City flaunting a look that felt straight out of the *Gossip Girl* universe. But here's the twist—it wasn’t a nod to her character at all!

On Friday, October 11, the actress, accompanied by her husband Ryan Reynolds, was seen enjoying dinner with fellow celebrities Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce. As the chill of autumn set in, Lively turned heads with her enviable wardrobe choice that echoed the chic style of her on-screen best friend, Blair Waldorf.

A Dress to Remember

Leaving The Corner Store restaurant in Soho, Lively made quite the fashion statement in a striking maroon knit dress featuring sultry thigh slits that showcased her legs beautifully. This sheer gown brought to mind one of Blair Waldorf's most memorable outfits from the show, effortlessly blending nostalgia with modern elegance.

To complete her ensemble, Lively opted for trendy fishnet tights and a pair of dark red Valentino Soul Rockstud ankle boots, emphasizing her flair for statement footwear. She accessorized with a chic plum-colored shoulder bag, adding just the right touch of sophistication to her look.
