Blake Lively has found another way to make sharing a wardrobe with Ryan Reynolds look fashionable, although one of the pieces in her latest outfit came with a surprisingly expensive price tag.
The actress recently showed off a borrowed shirt from her husband’s closet, pairing it with designer accessories that commanded even more attention.
Her playful take on sharing clothes also revived a fashion habit she previously brought into her work on the big screen.
Blake Lively Turned Ryan Reynolds’ Shirt Into A $23K Fashion Moment
Blake Lively’s latest outfit demonstrated that borrowing from her husband’s wardrobe does not necessarily mean leaving luxury behind.
In an Instagram Stories mirror selfie over the weekend, the “Gossip Girl” actress wore Reynolds’s light-blue Thom Browne button-down, decorated with an embroidered goose and greenery.
She paired it with straight-leg jeans, a navy-blue bandana and loafers. “Find a husband you can share clothes with,” Lively wrote over the picture, per the Daily Mail, making the borrowed shirt part of her playful marriage advice.
However, the most expensive piece in the outfit was not Reynolds’ shirt. Lively carried a vintage blue denim Hermès Kelly bag, which she made clear was hers rather than her husband’s.
A similar bag had reportedly sold for $23,000 through Sotheby’s. The Thom Browne shirt itself originally retailed for $990.
Lively’s caption also included a clarification about the handbag, describing it as a “fab vintage bag” and adding that it was “not his.”
Lively Previously Borrowed Reynolds’ Clothes For Her Movie Role
Blake Lively’s latest wardrobe choice reflected a practice she had already incorporated into her professional life.
While portraying Lily Bloom in the 2024 romantic drama “It Ends With Us,” Lively used clothing from her personal wardrobe, along with pieces belonging to Reynolds and her friend Gigi Hadid.
During a 2024 appearance on “Today,” she explained how the borrowed items became part of the character’s outfits.
“A lot of it’s my real-life clothes or my husband’s clothes or my girlfriend Gigi’s clothes. I was borrowing some,” Lively said.
The approach allowed her to bring familiar pieces into the film’s wardrobe, rather than relying entirely on clothing selected for the production.
Reynolds’ shirts and socks were among the items incorporated into Bloom’s looks, while Hadid also contributed pieces from her own collection.
Lively Had Reynolds Fighting For Her Reputation Behind The Scenes
The revelation Blake Lively shared about borrowing from Reynolds’ wardrobe offered one glimpse into their relationship, but court documents revealed a more serious example of his support for her.
Last month, Page Six detailed private messages Reynolds exchanged with talent agent Warren Zavala in August 2024, during the backlash surrounding “It Ends With Us.”
The “Deadpool” actor believed Sony Pictures needed to publicly defend his wife rather than remain cautious about the growing criticism.
In one message, he wrote, “They should be protecting B.” He also expressed frustration with the studio’s response, insisting, “They need to frame it the right way! This isn’t hard.”
Reynolds argued that the negative publicity was part of a coordinated crisis-PR effort and wanted Sony to acknowledge what he believed was happening.
He also told Zavala that Lively had sacrificed sleep and missed important family moments while working on the film.

Reynolds’ efforts to defend Lively were also part of a wider story about how the couple navigated the public attention surrounding her legal dispute.
Their relationship attracted renewed interest when they were photographed together in Manhattan in August.
