While filming her most recent production, It Ends With Us, Blake Lively chose comfort over style.
The 36-year-old actress, who was also spotted filming the project over the weekend, showed up on the New Jersey set on Sunday wearing pink overalls and Ugg Tasman slippers.
The mother-of-four wore a striped button-down shirt with a long sleeve to contrast with the floral pattern on her overalls.
Her strawberry blonde hair was thinning and cascading over her shoulders in waves as she wore complimentary makeup to highlight her natural features.
Blake was talking on her cell phone, which was hαnging on a long silver chain, while holding a Tupperware container full of food in the other hand.
Blake’s co-stars Hasan Minhaj and Justin Baldoni, who she has been spotted dating recently, were not there on set. In addition, Justin is co-writing and directing the movie.

The film’s intended release date of February 4 was postponed for months due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
It Ends With Us, which is based on a romance novel by Colleen Hoover, stars Blake as Lily, a character who ends up in an abusive marriage.
In the novel, Lily watches her father beαt her mother as a child. Despite her wish to break the pattern, she eventually marries a guy who also beats her.
Justin, who is also directing the film and co-wrote the book with Christy Hall, plays Lily’s violent husband Ryle.
Colleen, who said the book was “loosely inspired by my mother,” gushed about her leading woman on Instagram when Blake’s casting was revealed.
Blake Lively, everyone! Colleen exuded joy in the heartfelt video, which was shot in front of her childhood home, saying, “She’s my dream, Lily.”
And I wаnted Justin Baldoni to play Ryle as soon as I saw him; he is directing the movie It Ends With Us. I simply believed he had what it took.
Assuring the audience that “I think Justin and Blake have what it takes to bring these characters to life and I cannot wait for you guys to see that happen,” she rhapsodized, “the good news is, he’s going to be Ryle.”
Many fans expressed disapproval of Blake’s casting in the comments section, pointing out the age difference between her and Lily, who is 23 in the book.
