Britney Spears appears to SHADE Blake Lively with ‘updated version’ of her iconic Versace dress
At the It Ends With Us premiere, Britney Spears seemed to be disparaging Blake Lively and the 2002 Versace dress that Britney formerly wore.
The 41-year-old singer of Toxic uploaded a video of herself wearing the short, pink and blue, sequined dress with side cutouts while the Outfield’s 1986 hit song Your Love played in the background.
Revised version of my Versace dress from 2002. It is much more to my liking. Shows my legs!!,» Spears said as a series of emojis to the photo. The 36-year-old Lively was promptly accused of being made fun of by the New Mickey Mouse Club star, who later removed her post.
An updated rendition of my Versace outfit from 2002! Although I’m not @blakelively, I enjoy it. «Shown my legs!!!» was the updated caption.
The Circus hitmaker accessorized the frock in her photo with delicate jewelry and nude pumps.
Britney completely removed the caption in her third revision.
When Lively revealed that the rainbow-covered dress was indeed the one Spears wore on the Versace fashion show red carpet during her 2002 debut, she did so with great excitement.
At the premiere, Blake passionately discussed the garment with People, stating, «It should be in the Smithsonian or the Met, but ‘it’s on me.» I’m so fortunate!
Fans speculated that Blake’s choice of gown indicated her desire to play Britney in the memoir’s cinematic version.

One fan said on X, «Blake Lively is a true Britney Spears stan.» I believe she would be a fantastic biopic subject because of the genuine and loving way in which she has shown her love for Brit.
Industry insiders claim that Blake is just a fan and that it is not a reference to the Britney biopic’s casting.
A source close to Spears told Page Six that «Blake wearing Britney’s dress was not a subliminal message about the biopic.»
Another nod to the Britney moments in the movie is Blake’s vintage outfit. The movie’s soundtrack features a rendition of her 2003 hit song Everytime, and during the closing credits, she receives gratitude.
Blake enthused about getting to wear the dress on Instagram this week as well, sharing a picture of herself in the outfit next to Britney’s 22-year-old picture.
«The attitude of today.» The ultimate queen who inspired us all to write, shine, and tell our tales.
«Britney, every millennial has a story of a time, or years, when you inspired us to shine and astonish people with our strength, joy, and incredibly hard work,» Lively went on.
«I appreciate how you lead by example and help other women share their stories.»
According to reports, Lively enquired about the dress after seeing a social media post and purchased it from Tab Vintage, a Los Angeles store that specializes in vintage apparel.
TMZ claims that when the actress from A Simple Favor purchased the famous gown six months prior, she was shocked to discover its price: $10,000.
She bought it right away and had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it, which came during the New York City premiere of her latest film.
