Blake Lively Jokes Her '2023 Memories' Include Squeezing Into Gold Sequins 'Way Too Soon' After Fourth Baby

True to her Gossip Girl roots, Blake Lively’s 2023 was chock-full of style highlights.

The actress, 36, shared one of her personal favorite looks — the show-stopping sequined jumpsuit she wore to Michael Kors’ New York Fashion Week show in September — in an Instagram post on Sunday.

“2023 Memories: Only @michaelkors could get me to squeeze into gold sequins way too soon after having a baby. Love you MK✨🪩 ✨,” the actress captioned the post, which included several new pictures of the gold look.

Lively welcomed her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds in February. The couple also shares kids James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4.

Also in the post, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star gave a close-up look at the outfit's smaller details, including a collection of funky rings and a rust manicure with dotted embellishments.

The mom of four and Betty Buzz founder debuted the gold jumpsuit, which she accented with a thin tan belt, at Michael Kors’ star-studded Brooklyn show in September.

The '70s-inspired design’s stunning silhouette featured floor-sweeping, flared legs and a plunging neckline. 

Lively evoked even more retro energy with her hair and makeup, sporting bouncy disco curls and smokey, nude makeup, and brought a camel-colored coat to brave the fall temperatures in N.Y.C.

Some of the actress' other 2023 style highlights include the Barbiecore ensemble she donned to support Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar America Ferrera at an N.Y.C. Barbie event, and the Chanel blazer and miniskirt she wore to the London premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.

For the special Barbie screening, the actress wore a feathered Oscar de la Renta minidress, which she paired with elbow-length gloves and a bow-shaped clutch from Judith Leiber.

The Gossip Girl star also opted for hot-pink pointed pumps from Malone Souliers and jewelry from celebrity favorite Lorraine Schwartz. She added one final pop of pink with a fuchsia lip and wore her blonde tresses styled in classic waves.

In an Instagram post highlighting the look, Lively dubbed it "Loud luxury” — a nod to the flamboyance of the pink 'fit compared to the ongoing "quiet luxury" trend, which applauds understated fashion.

To support Beyoncé at the premiere of her documentary in December, Lively showed some skin in a collarless Chanel blazer complete with silver sequin embellishments, a nod to the Renaissance Tour’s unofficial dress code.

Lively paired the blazer with a miniskirt, sheer black gloves and Wolford tights, as well as a pair of ankle-strap Christian Louboutin platform heels.
