00:00Blake Lively is channeling her inner Britney Spears.
00:03The actress stepped out to the world premiere of her new film, It Ends With Us,
00:07at New York's AMC Lincoln Square Theater last night,
00:10wearing the same glittering Versace dress worn by Spears in 2002.
00:15The Versace dress is a one-shoulder evening dress crafted with all-over embroidery and shades of pastels,
00:21a dress fit for the character of Lily Bloom.
00:23According to Tab Vintage, Lively purchased the dress from the shop's archives.
00:27The mother of four took to Instagram stories earlier in the day to praise the superstar singer
00:32as the ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories.
00:37Spears wore the dress while attending Versace's spring and summer women's 2003 collection presentation in Milan.
00:44Lively added,
00:45Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment or of years that you made us want to shine and inspire awe
00:50with strength and joy and immensely hard work.
00:53Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories.
00:57So excited about your biopic and all you have to come.
01:00Universal is readying a feature film project based on Spears' best-selling The Woman and Me memoir
01:05with director John M. Chu.
01:07Directed by Justin Baldoni and based on the novel by Colleen Hoover,
01:10It Ends With Us casts Lively as Lily Bloom,
01:13a woman who opens a flower shop in Boston only to fall for a neurosurgeon,
01:17played by Baldoni, who may not be the man of her dreams.
01:21Lively also spoke to THR about addressing some of the heavy topics in the on-screen adaptation.
01:26Honestly, the work that I did on-screen was easier than the work that I did off-screen in this movie
01:31because of all that went into it.
01:33So I really look at the...
01:35I love a challenge, though, and I'm just so proud of every bit of it.
01:38You know, we went through a whole roller coaster of the human experience,
01:42and I just... I'm very proud.
