On Friday, Blake Lively made an appearance at the Book Bonanza event in Texas to promote the film adaptation of "It Ends With Us". The event took place at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine. Lively was accompanied by her co-star Brandon Sklenar, as well as Colleen Hoover, the author of the book on which the film is based.
For the occasion, Lively wore a stunning black minidress adorned with intricate embroidered floral designs made of sequins, accentuated with green trimming that resembled stems and leaves. The dress featured a bralette-style bodice with a keyhole cutout and was complemented by sheer long sleeves. Lively's toned legs were showcased by the short skirt, and she completed the look with silver criss-cross heels.
Lively styled her blonde hair pulled back, opting for a side part. To add a touch of glamour, she wore multiple statement rings and gold earrings. Her makeup consisted of a natural palette, with coral pink lipstick and shimmery eyeshadow. Additionally, she sported a white manicure, adding to her overall chic appearance.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the event, Lively shared some insights into the challenges of adapting a beloved book into a film. She acknowledged that some people may prefer the book over the movie, and vice versa. However, she emphasized that the goal was to honor the book and its dedicated fans, while also creating a standalone film experience.
Lively expressed her belief that both readers of the book and viewers of the movie would be thrilled with the outcome. She highlighted the team's dedication to creating a beautiful film that aligns with the essence of the book. Whether one reads the book first or watches the movie initially, Lively believes that both versions offer their own unique beauty.
