Blake Lively is praising Versace for helping her usher in her Ladypool era!
On Instagram on Friday, July 26, the It Ends With Us star, 36, shared highlights from the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere that she attended with her husband Ryan Reynolds in New York City on Monday, July 22.
Lively wore a custom, second-skin, off-the-shoulder Versace catsuit inspired by her character in the Marvel film, Lady Deadpool. The Gossip Girl alum's cameo in the film was a surprise and she doesn't take her mask off in her scene — but her identity was revealed in the end credits.
In her post on Friday, Lively included photos posing on the red carpet with Reynolds, 47, Gigi Hadid (who dressed in Wolverine yellow with her full Miu Miu ensemble) and others. She praised Versace for creating her "LadyPool couture" in the caption.
