Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
While Blake Lively may be known for her incredible red carpet fashion, she recently went back to basics — and I immediately started taking notes.
On Saturday, the actress made an appearance at AMC Grapevine Mills 24 to attend a surprise screening of her upcoming film, It ends with us. During the outing, Lively showed off her range of style by teaming a $19,000 pair of floral cut-out jeans from Valentino with just denim pointy-toe heels, gold jewelry and a simple white tank top.

While this isn’t the first time Lively has worn jeans and a tee this summer — she recently wore a similar look while out with Ryan Reynolds — her latest iteration was a great example of how to make the tried-and-true formula work for more formal occasions. Plus, each component is incredibly versatile, making them great options to reach for when you’re putting together an outfit in a pinch.
If you’re looking to copy Livelyn’s effortlessly stylish look (without the $19,000+ price tag), keep reading to shop the star’s inspired tank tops, jeans, and heels below.

Floral bottoms Channel Lively snapped up this unique pair of jeans from Amazon that one customer called her summer “jeans.” The straight-leg silhouette and high cut look similar to pairs we’ve seen on Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow this season, and their floral patchwork adds a modern touch perfect for pairing with a simpler top – like the actress’ white tee.
“Right out of the package these jeans fit like a glove,” wrote one reviewer. “I’m going on vacation and I wanted something I could wear with my family and be really comfortable. These are jeans. They have a fun look and are perfect for the weekend or just going out to the store.”

Pointed-toe shoes have long been popular among celebrities, and Lively is no exception. These Steve Madden denim kitten heels look so similar to the actress’s, and they’ve earned five-star praise from reviewers for their “super chic” look. Pair them with a simple base like jeans and a t-shirt to instantly dress up a casual outfit, or pair them with a dress for a comfortable wedding guest look.
“Kitten heels are great when you’re at work 10 hours a day,” enthused one customer. “These straps are attention grabbing! I love the price and they are so comfortable.”
Lively’s evening wear is a great example of how basic doesn’t have to mean boring. Keep scrolling to shop more tank tops, jeans, and pointy-toe heels inspired by her style plan below.
