At a screening of Barbie, Blake Lively appeared doll-like, all thanks to her “bonkers” glam squad.
Lively, 36, expressed her gratitude to celebrity makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez on Instagram, praising her for making her look like a “human filter.” Lively's look included wispy lashes, rosy cheeks, a golden highlight, and “juicy” fuchsia lips, complimented with bouncy curls styled by star hairstylist Jennifer Yepez.
Lively confessed to being so surprised by her appearance that she suspected Gonzalez and Yepez had used an app to alter the photos. “I texted these ladies twice, making them prove to me that they didn’t use facetune,” the Gossip Girl alum wrote alongside a selfie with the glam pros. (Gonzalez’s client list includes Ashley Park, Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter, Alix Earle and more, while Yepez works with Salma Hayek, Rachel Brosnahan, Emily Ratajkowski and other A-listers.)

"@cgonzalezbeauty's makeup acts as a human filter," Lively exclaimed. "It's incredible. I was in for a shock when I removed it and saw my real face...Now please show me how to achieve these full, luscious lips. And @jennifer_yepez's hair is consistently stunning." In a subsequent post, Lively raved, "These lips are like my Cinderella dress. When the clock struck midnight, they vanished."
Blake Lively shared her glamorous look on Instagram, wearing a vibrant hot pink Oscar de la Renta dress with a textured skirt. She added a pop of pink with ballroom gloves, a sparkly bow clutch by Judith Leiber, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Completing the ensemble with Malone Souliers pumps and a Valentino coat, she humorously captioned her outfit as "Loud luxury," poking fun at the quiet luxury trend.
Lively's outing on the night of Saturday, December 16, was a celebration for her long-time friend America Ferrera, who starred in the Greta Gerwig-directed film with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The event also marked a reunion for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, with Lively and Ferrera, 39, joined by their co-stars Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn.

"This week is all about celebrating the men and women in our lives. I was thrilled to honor my denim sister @AmericaFerrera," Lively shared alongside photos of herself with Ferrera, Bledel, and Tamblyn. "[America is] the driving force behind the @barbiemovie and everything else she's involved in."
"I've known her for two decades, since I was 16. I've witnessed her journey - the highs, the lows, the victories, the setbacks, the resilience, and the leadership."
Referring to Ferrera's performance in Barbie, she wrote, "That speech she delivers [Sasha] felt as genuine as anything I've ever seen on screen. Because that's who she is. She's that remarkable, passionate, inspiring and compassionate in her own life. I can't wait to see her collect awards across her living room floor. No one deserves it more…for a lifetime of outstanding work."
Lively also stated, "It is truly an honor in my life to see her demonstrate to so many women not only what's achievable, but HOW it's done. I love you sister. Always."

Ferrera was thrilled by Lively's compliments, sharing, "When your girl gives good hype. I love you forever sis."
Tamblyn also commended Ferrera and mentioned raiding Lively's closet for the event. "We got ready together, picked out outfits and jewelry and handbags together (aka raided Blake’s closet), ate dinners together, and drove together to celebrate our favorite sister, @americaferrera, and her brilliant performance in Barbie," Tamblyn wrote on Instagram on Saturday.
