Blake Lively sparked controversy at the Another Simple Favor red carpet event after a viral video showed her directing co-star Michele Morrone away from a bright yellow backdrop. Reports suggested Lively disliked the lighting, believing it did not flatter her. Her team was also seen adjusting her look, leading to online backlash.
Social media users criticized her behavior, with one commenting, “Blake Lively, AKA Plantation Barbie, did a ‘costume change’ on the red carpet…The delusion and narcissism is egregious.” Another added, “I’ve never understood why Blake Lively was considered a fashion icon.”
The backlash comes amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, whom she accused of misconduct. Baldoni has countersued for defamation.
At the event, co-star Anna Kendrick remained neutral when asked about Lively’s legal troubles, replying, “Why, what happened? I did Ayahuasca, and the last year of my life is just gone, but I’ve heard the movie is amazing.”
Body language expert Judi James noted tension between Lively and Kendrick, stating, “Blake is performing an eye-smile, but Anna’s ‘smile’ doesn’t seem to have reached her eyes.”
The incident has intensified discussions about Lively’s public image and rumored feuds.
