Blake Lively has never been shy about borrowing from husband Ryan Reynolds’s wardrobe, and the actress returned to that familiar fashion habit over the weekend.
In an Instagram Stories mirror selfie, the 39-year-old star wore Reynolds’s pale-blue Thom Browne button-down, decorated with an embroidered goose and leafy detailing.
“Find a husband you can share clothes with,” Lively captioned the image.
The Gossip Girl alum paired the oversized shirt with straight-leg jeans, a navy bandana and loafers. She completed the look with what she called a “fab vintage bag,” adding a clarification in the corner of the photo: “not his.”
The fashionable Thom Browne shirt originally sold for $990, but Lively’s vintage blue-denim Hermès Kelly bag is worth considerably more. A similar style fetched an astonishing $23,000 through Sotheby’s, according to Page Six.
This is far from the first occasion on which Lively has turned to the 50-year-old actor’s closet for sartorial inspiration.

For the 2024 romantic drama It Ends with Us, Lively even worked some of Reynolds’s shirts and socks into the wardrobe of her character, Lily Bloom. She also borrowed pieces from her 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,” Lively explained during an appearance on Today in 2024.
“It’s like a wedding, like, something old, something borrowed, something blue or something new,” she added.
Although Lively stands at five feet eight inches—several inches shorter than Reynolds, who is six feet two—she has clearly found a way to make his clothes work for her.
Her latest social media post comes months after she reached a settlement in her legal dispute with It Ends with Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
The settlement was announced on May 4, just two weeks before the case was scheduled to go to trial.
The following day, Lively made a high-profile appearance at the Met Gala in a vintage Spring 2006 Atelier Versace gown. Her presence appeared to signal confidence and show that she was not retreating from the public spotlight.
Lively has also recently been awarded $407,451.75 in legal costs related to Baldoni’s countersuit.

Lively had originally sought $8,035,040.88 in costs connected to her defense against the defamation countersuit filed by Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios.
However, US District Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that she could not recover fees for the entire litigation.
Instead, the judge determined that the actress was entitled to reasonable fees and costs associated specifically with defending against Baldoni’s defamation claim.
“The number of hours for which Lively seeks reimbursement is unreasonable,” Liman wrote in an order dated August 26, according to 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.”
Lively’s attorneys, Esra Hudson and Michael Gottlieb, presented the ruling as a victory and called it “historic.”
In a statement 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.”

Bryan Freedman, the attorney representing Baldoni and Wayfarer, took a different view, saying the ruling “speaks for itself.”
He later characterized the decision as a “significant victory” for his clients and said it delivered an important 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.”
