Blake Lively Channels Britney Spears at Movie Premiere With Versace Dress

Here’s Blake Lively channeling Britney Spears at her movie premiere … with a nod to one of the singer’s most iconic looks.

Blake turned heads Tuesday at the “It Ends With Us” premiere in New York … wearing a one-strap Versace dress once worn by Britney herself.

The homage to Britney comes on the heels of news about Britney’s bestselling memoir being on track to be turned into a biopic.

As we first reported … Britney’s got the final say on who plays her in the movie … which makes Blake’s fashion choice here even more interesting.

Before Blake, Britney slipped into this fancy dress way back in 2002 at a Versace show in Milan, Italy.

Blake told Extra the dress means a lot to her because Britney meant a lot to her as someone who represented love, beauty, youth, hard work, determination, strength, sexuality and delicacy.

And, get this … Blake says once the dress became available she knew she had to have it and she’s been sitting on it for 6 months waiting for the perfect time to bring it out of her wardrobe.

Blake even mentions the upcoming Britney movie here … so, at least on its face, it seems she may be angling for a role.
