Blake Lively is one of the most popular stars in the world, and for good reason. While she’s had the occasional controversy here and there, the actor has successfully cultivated a real “girl next door” persona that helps win everyone over (including her husband, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds). Because of that, she’s more or less the last person that you’d ever expect to be secretly naughty.
With Lively, though, naughtiness is never a secret…you just need to know where to look. For example, she has rocked some wonderfully inappropriate outfits over the years at the most formal events. And while these ‘fits titillated fans who enjoy seeing the actor’s rockin’ body, they often angered critics who felt that Lively wasn’t taking these events seriously enough.
What events are we talking about, though? And more importantly, what was the actor wearing that got everyone so hot and bothered? Keep reading to discover Blake Lively’s naughtiest outfits!
Queen of the Met Gala
If you’re doubting whether Blake Lively is a real fashionista, all you have to do is look at her history of Met Gala appearances. This annual event has always been an excuse for the hottest celebs to debut the kinds of outfits that leave fans in awe for years. In short, everyone who attends these galas is beautiful and dressed to the nines, so it takes a really special outfit to stand out amid all the prettiest peacocks in Hollywood.
Blake Lively, though, has special outfits to spare! In 2017, she wore a gold Versace gown that hugged her in all the right places and had a train made of blue feathers (talk about peacocking!). And in 2018, she wore a gown with a busty top, showing off enough assets that she set the internet on fire. Between her natural beauty and the fact that she shows up with literally millions of dollars in accessories, she effortlessly steals the spotlight whenever she walks into the room!
Showing too much skin at the Emmys
By pretty much any stretch, Blake Lively’s outfits at the Met Gala were fairly naughty. But that’s the kind of event where you more or less expect major Hollywood stars to show some skin and flex their curves. What surprises us about Lively is often she sports naughty outfits to very formal events, including the Emmys!
In 2009, Lively was on top of the world: Gossip Girl was still on the air and she was one of the presenters at that year’s Emmy awards show. She did a great job presenting, but what caught everyone’s eye was that the actor wore an open-topped red dress that did more than show off her cleavage…it pretty much let half of her upper body out for air!
As usual, Lively looked absolutely stunning. However, this outfit had some of her loudest haters claiming that she hadn’t treated the prestigious Emmys with the respect they deserved.
Looking like naughty Barbie at a movie premiere
Sure, Blake Lively turned head with her curvaceous display at the Emmys, but that was years ago. She must have stopped wearing crazy outfits to major events…right? Wrong! In fact, when the star attended the premiere of her film It Ends With Us, she wore a dress that can only be described as “Barbie pink.” It’s the color of a girl’s toy, but what this particular dress showed off was all woman.
This Versace minidress left very little to the imagination and hugged Lively’s hips in the most flattering way. Plus, a bralette showed off her, um, assets in a very flattering way. The overall aesthetic made the Gossip Girl star look like she stole Barbie’s sexiest nightie and was getting ready to seduce Ken. She looked great, but many couldn’t help but clutch their pearls in amazement that she wore such a loud, slinky thing to her own film premiere.
Flaunting and flexing at Cannes
To some, it was shocking when Blake Lively wore that hot pink dress to the premiere of It Ends With Us. However, this was already old hat to the star herself. You see, she has a habit of wearing casually sexy and unforgettable outfits to events like the Cannes Film Festival. This was particularly evident in 2014, when she wore something to the Mr. Turner premiere that made her look like a naughty fairytale princess.
She wore a Chanel gown that was adorned with so many sequins that she practically sparkled like the night sky. It was hard to stare at the sparkles, though, because Lively’s outfit had a low-cut neckline. Meanwhile, the rest of the dress clung to her body like a second skin, and she threw a white shawl over herself to complete the look. Overall, she looked like a sexy Disney villain brought to life, and some haters thought what she wore was too skimpy for this famous film festival.
Two years later, not even pregnancy could stop Blake Lively from stunning the film festival audience. At the 2019 Cannes, she wore a baby blue gown to the premiere of Slack Bay while very visibly pregnant. Some thought it was distasteful that Lively didn’t hide her baby bump while others thought she was bold to flaunt her figure even when she had a fresh bun in the oven.
