Blake Lively has been parading in beautiful suits around New York City in recent weeks, while on a press tour for her new movie (also starring Anna Kendrick and Henry Golding) A Simple Favour. And, yes, she’s pulled off EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Because she’s Blake Lively, and she’s a golden gleaming goddess who can do no wrong in the style stakes IMO.
But, it seems like one person on social media dared to voice their hot take, Fashion Police-style. This is the Internet, after all, and there’s always a snarky contrarian. An Instagram commenter took to the comments section on Blake’s post showcasing a tastefully multi-chromed plaid suit, saying “I say this with so much love & respect for you babe, please hire a stylist or fire the one you’re currently with.” The sass! The audacity!
And while Blake could have simply ignored her hater (who is def wrong about that gorgeous, structured masterpiece that follows the colour scheme to her colourful new film), she decided to give a cheeky reply. “Thank you for the tips, sir. Alas, I’ve tried to fire @blakelively so many times. But that b*tch just keeps coming back. She won’t leave me alone.”
Blake truly does not have a stylist, as she revealed in an interview with WWD earlier this year. “The hard part is going through all the fashion shows and screenshotting all the looks you like and calling them in,” she explained. “I have an assistant who helps in calling in the looks. But a lot of it is I have relationships with the designers.”
The hilarious, light-hearted, but also self-deprecating comeback was caught by Instagram account @commentsbycelebs. Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds have had a reputation of trolling each other online with sarcastic comments and the most ridiculous tweets, but this is definitely one of her best works yet. In other words, being a clapback queen definitely… suits her.
