Blake Lively has been making waves with her unconventional wardrobe choices while filming scenes for the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s popular novel, It Ends With Us. The eclectic outfits have sparked concerns among fans, with some expressing their dismay over the unconventional fashion statements.

Critics have been vocal about the uniqueness, or rather, controversy surrounding Lively’s wardrobe, with one fan commenting on a previous double-pants look from May 2023, stating, “Every photo that’s released just keeps getting worse and worse.” Another fan chimed in, suggesting, “This feels like a prank now.”

Fortunately for skeptics, it seemed that the fashion choices were taking a more relatable turn as production resumed in the new year. On January 11, Lively was spotted on set in New Jersey donning her character Lily Bloom’s comparatively simpler outfit: a patchwork button-up over a white crop top paired with a long shearling-lined denim jacket and blue cargo pants tucked into red suede heeled combat boots.

While still maintaining a quirky aesthetic in line with the ongoing quilted theme, this look was deemed more visually pleasing compared to some of Lily’s previous ensembles.

However, on January 12, Lively once again embraced the stuffed boot look, this time in a mismatched camouflage outfit that certainly didn’t blend into her surroundings.

Author Colleen Hoover had previously defended the wardrobe choices, emphasizing that the looks should be considered “out of context” and that the focus should be on the characters’ conversations and the overall storyline.

Cоntrary tо this, the оutfit wоrn by Justin Baldоni оn January 12, whо nоt оnly plays a key rоle as Ryle but alsо directs the film, raised eyebrоws. Baldоni was phоtоgraphed kissing Lively while clad in a bright teal оnesie featuring a rainbоw print and a fluffy unicоrn tail. Accоrding tо оne оbservant TikTоk user, this particular lооk marked a “pivоtal part” оf the bооk’s narrative.

While some fans may not approve of certain wardrobe choices, especially for crucial scenes, it’s evident that the film’s production has kept the audience intrigued and guessing about what’s to come.
