A glitzy movie premiere is, of course, an opportunity for stars to promote their work, but the red carpet also provides a great outlet for celebrities to be creative with their fashion choices. Having spent so many weeks and months researching and playing a particular role, many stars often choose to pay sartorial tribute to the film once the premiere rolls around, incorporating its themes or embodying character with their look. This can be difficult to master; literal dressing – or ‘method dressing’, as it has been dubbed – is not fancy dress, but it is a great way to nod to a project and to have fun with fashion.

GOTHAM

Forget method dressing—meet red carpet method dressing, brought to you by the dynamic duo, Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid! These BFFs took subtle cosplay to epic heights at the Deadpool & Wolverine movie premiere on July 22, 2024, in NYC. Channelling Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, they nailed the role-repping looks like pros. From the Barbie premieres, we know that fully committing to the bit makes for a killer red carpet moment. And Lively and Hadid’s Deadpool and Wolverine-inspired outfits? Total internet win!

Blake Lively turned heads with her stunning homage to her hubby’s Deadpool costume. The Gossip Girl queen rocked a custom, off-the-shoulder red bodysuit by Versace, complete with black lace detailing. Her sleek high ponytail and blingy accessories completed the look, making it a chic and playful nod to Ryan Reynolds’ iconic character.

Gigi Hadid channelled her Wolverine’s iconic yellow X-Men gear for the premiere. She rocked a custom yellow Miu Miu top and pleated skirt, matching it with a yellow purse. Black pumps, a tan belt, and a chic side-parted blonde bob completed her look.

Blake Lively is no stranger to method dressing at her hubby’s premieres. She dazzled in a bright yellow dress for Pokemon Detective Pikachu and rocked a black-and-red gown for Deadpool 2. Plus, she served up serious style with trouser suits for her in ‘A Simple Favor’ press tour, echoing her on-screen persona. Just like Zendaya and Margot Robbie, Lively clearly loves to slay with on-theme outfits!

With the hype for Deadpool & Wolverine reaching fever pitch, buzz is swirling around a new character—a female Deadpool variant from an alternate universe. The intrigue kicked off with a June teaser featuring legs in a Deadpool-like suit and Reynolds’ voiceover, “I’m about to lose everything that I’ve ever cared about.” The final trailer amped up the suspense, revealing a blonde-haired figure in a red-and-black suit, fueling speculation that this could be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s debut of Lady Deadpool. Fans are now buzzing that Blake Lively might be stepping into this new role!
