AceShowbiz - Blake Lively, the acclaimed "Gossip Girl" star, is under fire after an incident at the "It Ends With Us" London premiere earlier this month. Fans are calling her out for what they perceive as a dismissive reaction to receiving a friendship bracelet from a fan.
In video footage that has surfaced, an unseen admirer gifts Lively a pink beaded bracelet. Lively, 36, accepts the bracelet with a polite, "Thank you so much. That's so sweet. I'm going to put it here because it doesn't go with my outfit, but I will wear it later," before handing it off to someone else on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Lively's co-star Isabela Ferrer took a different approach when she received a friendship bracelet from a fan. Ferrer immediately placed it on her wrist saying, "Thank you! Oh my God, I'm going to put it on."
The juxtaposition of reactions did not go unnoticed. Fans in the TikTok post's comments section blasted Lively for her reaction and pointed out that the pink bracelet matched her pink earrings. One fan sarcastically quoted Lively, writing, "I will wear it later. Yeah ok." Another added, "Regina George vibes," referencing the iconic villain from "Mean Girls."
Additional comments highlighted the irony, noting how well the bracelet actually matched her outfit. "The way it actually FITS her whole outfit lmaooo," and "It actually does go with her outfit tho hahahah," observed TikTok users.
Lively was adorned in a Tamara Ralph Couture gown for the event. The sparkling, figure-hugging dress featured crystal orchids and cherry blossom embellishments. The floral touch, rich with pink hues, was an homage to her character, Lily Bloom, a florist in the story.
This incident serves as a reminder of the spotlight celebrities are under and how their interactions with fans can significantly impact public perception. In the world of social media, where every move is meticulously scrutinized, stars like Lively face the challenge of maintaining a balance between personal boundaries and fan expectations.
