Blake Livelywearing a skirt has never been more exciting for fans of her fashion.
The actress embarked on apantsuit paradefor the last several weeks, decidedly wearing suit after suit throughout the global press tour for her new comedy-thrillerA Simple Favor.Sometimes she even wore multiple suits in one day.
Lively’s suit situation IRL was an extenuation of her role in the film. In the movie, she plays high-powered fashion publicist character Emily — and yes, Emily a.k.a. Blake wears a lot of suits.
Costume designerRenée Ehrlich Kalfusturned to Katherine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Diane Keaton — as well as the movie’s director, Paul Feig, for sartorial inspiration. “Paul goes to work every day in a Savile Row suit,” Kalfus told PEOPLE.“He feels he can get anyone to answer anything while wearing a suit.”
