Fans are saying “Gimme More.” Blake Lively wore a stunning Versace gown , which was previously worn by Britney Spears in 2002, to Tuesday’s NYC premiere of “It Ends With Us.” The head-turning look sparked online chatter that the tribute could signal Lively is hoping to play the pop princess in her upcoming biopic, which was announced last week.
“Blake Lively is a true Britney Spears stan,” one fan wrote on X. “Her showing her love for Brit in such an honest & adoring way makes me think she’d be a good candidate for the biopic. Another noted the resemblance between the two in side-by-side photos in the dress and wrote, “Could this be a teaser that Blake is going to play Brit Brit in the movie about her book?” One fan noted that both the “Gossip Girl” alum and husband Ryan Reynolds are huge fans of the pop princess.
“Remember when Ryan Reynolds was part of the FreeBritney movement,” they wrote . “..
..well I think it’s safe to say the couple are true hardcore Britney Stans and Britney may love the idea of Blake playing her.
Just saying.” But multiple industry insiders are nixing the theory, telling Page Six that sometimes a dress is just a dress. “Blake wearing Britney’s dress was not a subliminal message about the biopic,” a source exclusively tells Page Six.
Instead, it only came from a place of love. “She’s just a fan,” the source continues, “and Britney’s song is in ‘It Ends With Us,’ so it’s a nod to that, too.” Al.
