Blake Lively tells women to ‘find a husband you can share clothes with’ as she rocks Ryan Reynolds’s $990 floral embroidered shirt

Blake Lively has raided husband Ryan Reynolds’s closet on several occasions, and the actress slipped back into her old habits over the weekend.

The 39-year-old actress posted an Instagram Stories mirror selfie in which she wore his light-blue Thom Browne button-down shirt, which featured an embroidered goose and greenery.

‘Find a husband you can share clothes with,’ Lively wrote on the photo.

The Gossip Girl alumna, who was recently hit with a massive setback as her booze line fizzled, paired the shirt with straight-leg jeans, a navy-blue bandana, loafers and a ‘fab vintage bag’ that is ‘not his,’ she clarified in the corner of the snap.

While the on-trend shirt originally retailed for $990, her vintage blue denim Hermes Kelly bag is even more valuable, as a similar bag sold for an eye-popping $23,000 via Sotheby’s, according to Page Six.

This isn’t the first time Lively has raided the 50-year-old actor’s closet to suit her own purposes.

Lively incorporated several of her husband’s shirts and socks into her character Lily Bloom’s wardrobe for the 2024 romance-drama It Ends with Us, along with items borrowed from friend Gigi Hadid.

‘A lot of it’s my real-life clothes or my husband’s clothes or my girlfriend Gigi’s clothes. I was borrowing some,’ she said on Today in 2024.

‘It’s like a wedding, like, something old, something borrowed, something blue or something new,’ she added.

At five-foot-eight, Lively is a few inches shy of Reynolds’s six-foot-two and smaller in stature, but she clearly makes it work.

Lively’s recent social media share comes months after she settled her legal dispute with It Ends with Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.

The settlement was announced on May 4, two weeks before their trial was set to begin.

Lively’s surprise appearance at the Met Gala the following day, wearing a vintage Spring 2006 Atelier Versace gown, was perhaps meant to project confidence and prove that she was not in hiding.

Meanwhile, Lively has recently been awarded $407,451.75 in costs stemming from Baldoni’s countersuit.

Lively had initially requested $8,035,040.88 for fighting Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios’ defamation countersuit.

But US District Judge Lewis J Liman ultimately found that Lively was not entitled to recover fees for the litigation as a whole.

Instead, the Hollywood star was told by the judge that she could recover reasonable fees and costs connected to defending herself against Baldoni’s defamation claim.

‘The number of hours for which Lively seeks reimbursement is unreasonable,’ Liman wrote in an order dated August 26, per People.

‘Media relations were not integral to defending the defamation claim brought against Lively. Accordingly, time spent on media relations and press coverage is not compensable.’

Esra Hudson and Michael Gottlieb, Lively’s legal team, framed the verdict as a win for their client, describing the ruling as ‘historic.’

In a statement given to People, they said: ‘This first-ever award of fees and costs under this California law is historic, and demonstrates that there are real consequences of bringing retaliatory lawsuits.

‘As we have said from day one, Blake Lively’s case was never about money – it was about accountability.’

By contrast, Bryan Freedman, the attorney for Baldoni and Wayfarer, argued that the judge’s verdict ‘speaks for itself.’

Freedman subsequently described the verdict as a ‘significant victory for my clients,’ and one that ‘sends a clear message.’

‘Judge Liman clearly considered the “outrageous and unreasonable” $8 million plus demand and, in rejecting it, awarded only five percent of the amount sought in legal fees and costs,’ Freedman said.

‘The ruling is a significant victory for my clients and sends a clear message that, no matter how powerful you may be, the courtroom is not a place to take advantage of the law for your own personal gain.’
