If revenge dressing is an art form, consider Blake Lively its reigning master.
The 37-year-old actress stunned at the London special screening of Another Simple Favor wearing a fierce black leather gown from David Koma’s AW25 collection.
The look served up serious main character energy: a sharply tailored blazer bodice with a plunging neckline that channeled unapologetic confidence, cinching at the waist before cascading into a sea of glossy leather fringe that swayed dramatically with every step. Completing the look? Silk thigh-high black boots that peeked out just beneath the hem, adding a sleek, sultry edge.

With cap sleeves and intricate cut-outs, Kendrick’s look leaned romantic and delicate, making for a perfectly styled yin to Blake’s fashion-forward yang.

In this follow-up, expect even more twists, secrets, and sharp wit as the chic suburban noir takes its characters from small-town Connecticut to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast. Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) are back – and this time, the stakes (and the wardrobes) are even higher.
Though there’s been some buzz about potential tension between the pair – thanks to a handful of awkward interviews and social posts – the red carpet told a different story. Whether it was all PR drama or just clever promo tactics, one thing’s clear: Blake and Anna know how to turn a style showdown into a cinematic moment.

Blake Lively rocked a chic Chanel moment, wearing a black and beige bouclé cardigan with gold buttons, layered over a black leather mini skirt and sheer tights. She finished the look with thigh-high leather boots and a quilted Chanel crossbody bag – equal parts French-girl cool and Upper East Side glam.
Anna Kendrick, on the other hand, brightened the day in a bold red mini with gold buttons paired with glittering gold stilettos. The outfits played up their characters’ iconic contrast – Blake’s effortless edge versus Anna’s playful polish – once again proving these two are a match made in fashion heaven, even if things get complicated on screen.
