Blake Lively pays homage to Britney Spears in iconic Versace dress at premiere of new movie – just days after biopic of troubled pop star is announced

Blake Lively looked incredible as she modeled a one-strap Versace dress — once worn by Britney Spears — at Tuesday evening’s It Ends With Us premiere in New York City.

The 36-year-old beauty — who played Ladypool in the new Deadpool & Wolverine blockbuster — wore the same cleavage-baring look that 42-year-old Spears wore to a 2002 Versace show in Milan, Italy.

The dazzling number features a nude-toned underlay and is covered in beautiful pastel-colored stones.

Like the pop star did in the early aughts, Blake balanced the sparkly look with a simple, natural-looking nude manicure.

It comes just days after news broke that a Britney biopic based on 2023 her tell-all memoir, The Woman In Me, is in the works.

Universal picked up the rights to the literature, DailyMail.com learned on August 1.

The Toxic singer later teased the project via her X account, revealing that she is working with producer Marc Platt, who helmed the Legally Blonde franchise starring Reese Witherspoon.

There is no word yet on who will play the Grammy-winning music artist, but director Jon M. Chu (Wicked) is developing the biopic.

‘Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned,’ Britney confirmed. 

Blake, whose husband Ryan Reynolds was also in attendance along with friend and Deadpool co-star Hugh Jackman, showed off her fit figure in the snug outfit. 

She commanded attention as she flashed her megawatt smile in a face of soft, peachy-pink makeup.

In It Ends with Us, Blake plays Lily Bloom, a woman beginning a passionate — and later abusive — relationship with Ryle Kincaid, played by Justin Baldoni.

The film was directed by Baldoni and was adapted from Colleen Hoover’s 2016 romance novel of the same name.
