Blake Lively was spotted downtown – heading to dinner at Carbone with her It Ends with Us co-stars Isabela Ferrer and Hasan Minhaj

Blake Lively was photographed downtown last night, going to dinner at Carbone with her It Ends with Us co-stars Isabela Ferrer and Hasan Minhaj. Normally, Blake Lively’s character on Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen, was seen gallivanting on the Upper East Side. Lively’s glitzy ensemble, which she wore on a night out with friends, was still extremely Serena-esque, but it looked more like something an It-girl from prep school might wear in 2024. Presenting a sophisticated take on the Canadian tuxedo.

Lively looked more metropolitan New York City than small-town rodeo in her denim minidress covered in glittering studs. A denim trench was layered on top by Lively, a novel approach to an evening coat. The contrast between the two distinct washes was ideal when combined. Naturally, her extremely high stilettos and Chanel crossbody purse added to the ensemble’s movie star vibe. A tiny piece of Serena will always remain in Lively’s closet because to the way she styled the ensemble, which combined items that shouldn’t have gone together but did. You know, like the time she combined plaid and zebra print?
