Actress Blake Lively experienced an amusing wardrobe malfunction while documenting her beauty routine for social media. In a video shared to Instagram on Thursday, Lively, 38, displayed her process for getting ready for a day out, covering hair styling and makeup application.
During the clip, Lively was seen styling her hair, applying hairspray and dry shampoo from her brand, Blake Brown Beauty. She then proceeded to curl her hair, advising viewers to leave the ends out for a more casual look and to twist strands in alternate directions for a lived-in effect. After finishing her hair, she returned to her makeup, applying red lipstick, brown eyeshadow, and white eyeliner, noting the latter technique is a trick used by Judy Garland to make eyes appear larger.
The "Gossip Girl" alum realized her jeans had remained unbuttoned throughout the entire process, humorously noting the oversight. "Buttoning your pants is always a nice touch," she wrote as a text overlay while closing them. She concluded her beauty regimen with mascara and an additional application of lipstick, also using the lip color on her cheeks and chest for a sun-kissed, natural glow.
Lively's casual post comes weeks after her absence from Taylor Swift's appearance at Travis Kelce's event. Their friendship dynamics were previously highlighted during Lively's legal dispute with her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. The actress had sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress, a case that was settled two weeks prior to its scheduled trial date in May after key allegations were dismissed by a judge in April. During the legal proceedings, Baldoni's team sought text messages between Lively and Swift, revealing exchanges where Lively appeared to reference Swift as one of her "dragons."
