Blake Lively has broken her social media silence with a playful closet raid.
The “It Ends With Us” star, 37, posted a mirror selfie to her Instagram Story over the weekend wearing husband Ryan Reynolds’ Thom Browne goose-embroidered button-down, a shirt that originally retailed for $990. She paired the borrowed piece with two-toned loafers, pink socks and a navy scarf tied around her neck.
“Find a husband you can share clothes with,” Lively captioned the post.
She added a clarification for her followers: the “fab vintage bag” was “not his.” The vintage blue denim Hermès Kelly bag she carried has recently sold for $23,500 via Sotheby’s, according to auction records.
The lighthearted post marks a rare appearance from Lively, who has kept a notably low profile following a prolonged legal battle. The famously self-styled celebrity has been largely absent from public events and social media in recent months.
Last week, however, she reemerged for an in-person appearance at an Upper East Side event supporting her friend and jewelry designer Brent Neale. For that occasion, Lively wore a vintage sequined Chanel dress and accessorized heavily with Neale’s pieces, including a pair of $38,850 diamond-covered bow earrings and four statement rings.
The weekend closet share continues a long-running public dynamic between Lively and Reynolds, 48, who have frequently traded barbs and playful commentary across social media throughout their marriage. The couple, who wed in 2012 and share four children, have built a joint reputation for not taking themselves too seriously in public-facing moments.
Lively’s fashion choices have long been a signature part of her public identity, with the actress often styling herself rather than working with traditional Hollywood stylists. Her Betty Buzz beverage brand, which she launched in 2021, has since shuttered, though her personal brand around fashion and lifestyle content has remained active.
The Thom Browne shirt at the center of her weekend post features the designer’s signature goose embroidery, a detail that has appeared across the brand’s menswear collections. Reynolds has been photographed in the label on multiple occasions.
Lively’s Instagram Story post did not include any direct mention of her recent legal proceedings or her return to more regular public activity. The brief, image-focused format of the platform allowed for a casual reentry that emphasized personal style over any formal statement.
Her support of Brent Neale’s event last week similarly centered on fashion and friendship rather than any broader public narrative. The vintage Chanel dress and extensive jewelry selections for that evening out represented a more elevated counterpoint to the relaxed, borrowed-from-him energy of her weekend mirror selfie.
The contrast between the two recent appearances — high-end eveningwear at a designer event versus a casual closet share on social media — underscores the range Lively has historically maintained in her public fashion presentations.
Reynolds did not appear to have publicly responded to the shirt borrowing as of the weekend posting.
Lively is expected to continue her gradual return to public life with upcoming promotional obligations.
