Lively kicked off her Instagram return by sharing photos from her new movie premiere, stunning in a dual-latex ensemble designed by Renee Masoomian and paired with Christian Louboutin Pluminette sandals. Despite the Texas heat, which might have made the latex outfit a bold choice, Lively appeared effortlessly cool and shared additional snapshots from the event.
In her caption, she expressed heartfelt gratitude, writing, “Thank you to the very best audience. Texas truly knows how to bring the energy. Making this movie was already a gift in every way. Getting to share it with all of you and feeling the love in return was the best feeling. Thank you for hosting us, Austin. And yes—it’s latex.”

Shortly after her first post, Lively shared more social media updates, showcasing another set of stunning outfits. In one look, she wore an embellished pink blazer and pants, styled with a white bodycon top and accessorized with a studded “martini glass” purse—a playful nod to the first movie in the franchise.
Fans quickly flooded the comments, dubbing her the “sparkle kween” and raving about how stunning she looked.
Her “mom hack” was nothing short of genius!
Lively appeared to signal the end of her movie promotion spree with a carousel of photos, captioning the post, “I know how lucky I am to work with all of you. Thank you to my friends and loved ones for making this weekend so special. Alright, back to sweatpants now. That was fun.”

When Lively mentioned sweatpants, she actually meant slipping into a chic black swimsuit with a cutout, which she paired with a crocheted tie-up sarong. The heartwarming part of the photo was Lively standing with her feet tucked into paper bags while holding hands with her daughter. The actress shares four children with her husband, Ryan Reynolds: James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2.
The picture came with a humorous explanation. Lively wrote, “Barton Springs Park Bathroom. Your kid forgets their shoes, but you have yours on. So naturally, you give them yours. Then you mom hack… Paper Bags ✅ No Shoes ✅ No Problem ✅.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of the creative solution. One commenter joked, “The last picture reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode in Paris with the burlap dresses. You could start a trend of paper bag shoes! 😉” Many others praised her ingenuity and humor, noting that Lively’s signature wit and charm are back in full force alongside her social media presence.
Here are a few more stylish looks from Lively.
While Lively continues to win over fans with her humor, Miley Cyrus has been making headlines with her bold new look.
