At the premiere of Another Simple Favor, Blake Lively made her first public appearance in months after staying out of the spotlight. Although she avoided interviews on the red carpet, she paused to take selfies with excited fans outside the theater. However, some fans couldn’t help but notice something unusual about her behavior on camera.
Blake Lively stole the spotlight at SXSW, gracing the world premiere of Another Simple Favor in a striking light pink latex dress adorned with black lace floral accents. The corset-style top, outlined in black, highlighted her waist, while a matching collared cover-up added an extra touch of elegance. As for her hair, she kept it effortlessly stylish—soft waves, half pinned back—blending chic sophistication with a laid-back charm.
Inside Austin’s Paramount Theatre, Gossip Girl alum Blake Lively expressed her excitement about returning as Emily Nelson. “I love this character so much—she’s probably my favorite role I’ve ever had the privilege to play,” she shared.
The first film balanced drama and comedy, leaving even the cast uncertain about its tone. Director Paul Feig’s response? A simple, “Yes.”
This time, Lively thought she had the story figured out—until Feig threw in a last-minute “curveball idea” just before filming. If A Simple Favor was packed with surprises, its sequel seems ready to take things up a notch.
Blake Lively has been staying out of the spotlight recently, but she made a rare red-carpet appearance at SNL 50 in New York with Ryan Reynolds. Similarly, at SXSW, fans couldn’t help but comment on her presence.
One person noted, “Blake looks so uncomfortable,” while another joked, “That dress makes her look like a boba.” Some even speculated about her mood, with one user saying, “Not to say people can’t move on after trauma, but something seems off about her,” likely alluding to her ongoing legal battle.
But not everyone was focused on that—fans were showering Blake with love in the comments. One enthusiastically wrote, “I love you!! Can’t wait to see the movie!!!” while another raved, “So fantastic & such a stunning dress!” Others joined in with admiration, calling her “Absolutely gorgeous inside and out!!!”
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have already been making headlines with their recent appearances, as fans noticed something unusual about their looks.
