Blake has confessed to stealing some “shirts and socks” from her husband, movie star Ryan Reynolds, with whom she is pictured at the premiere of It Ends With Us on Tuesday.
It Ends With Us, which hits theaters this Friday, has received a lukewarm response from critics with a 59% rating on Rotten tomatoes.
Blake first became a star on the CW series Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012, alongside a cast that included Kristen Bell, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley.
As Serena van der Woodsen, the spoiled, preppy Upper East Side teenager, Blake was dressed in a variety of stylish outfits tailored by Eric.
However, once they worked together again on It Ends With Us, they found themselves taking a more budgetary approach to Blake’s costumes.
Blake confessed to stealing some “shirts and socks” from her husband, movie star Ryan Reynolds, and scattering them “randomly” throughout the film.
She also used her role to show off items from Guest In Residence, the new clothing line started by her friend, supermodel Gigi Hadid.
“I have some of Gigi Hadid’s sweaters that are in the movie,” Blake said. “She has a line called Guest in Residence, but she would run out of those too and I would be like, ‘I want this one,’ because it has really cool prints and everything, and she was like, ‘I have that one. You can wear mine.’ So a little bit of that.”
“Gigi sent us a bunch of amazing stuff from her Guest in Residence collection that we featured in various looks,” Eric explained.

“And we see Ryan’s plaid vest in a scene at Lily Bloom’s store. It all adds a very personal touch to the character. I love that Blake is so open and willing to share her best clothes (and those of her husband and her best friends!) with us. I’m really grateful.”
Blake also wore her own Saint Laurent crystal fishnet boots, as well as two selections from her personal collection of Louboutins.
“I later tried on shoes at Blake’s and was able to visit the wonderful, amazing shoe closet. I can’t tell you how amazing it is,” Eric shared.
“She brought them in, and what am I going to do? I say, ‘I don’t know, those look like middle management. No, that’s not the point,'” he said.
“The producers and other people had different ideas. She’s wearing crystal YSL boots and you’re going to take a picture of her walking in them.”
