ICARO Media Group
The upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's viral novel, "It Ends With Us," has sparked heated discussions among fans regarding the eclectic wardrobe choices of the characters, particularly Blake Lively's character, Lily Bloom. As production resumed in the new year, fans hoped for more relatable fashion choices, but it seems the controversy continues.
One particular outfit worn by Lively caught fans' attention on January 11, as she was photographed on set in New Jersey. Sporting a patchwork button-up shirt, a white crop top, a long shearling-lined denim jacket, blue cargo pants, and red suede heeled combat boots, Lively's ensemble seemed more simplistic compared to her previous looks. While some fans found this outfit more appealing, others still criticized it for being too outlandish.
The following day, Lively was photographed in another eye-catching ensemble, this time featuring mismatched camouflage attire. The unconventional choice raised eyebrows among fans, with many feeling that the outfit did not blend well with the scene or the character's context.
Colleen Hoover, the author of the novel, had previously defended the film's wardrobe choices in an interview, stating that she didn't remember describing specific outfits in her book and focused more on the conversations and story. However, the recent fashion selections suggest that the filmmakers incorporated their own interpretations and creative liberties.
Adding more fuel to the controversy, Justin Baldoni, who both acts as Ryle and serves as a director, was spotted on set on January 12 in a bright teal onesie with a rainbow print and fluffy unicorn tail. The unexpected costume choice drew attention from fans, with one TikTok user speculating that it marked a significant moment in the story.
Meanwhile, TikTok user @holdensmith expressed disappointment with Lily's camo outfit, stating that the fashion choices only seemed to deteriorate further with each new look. Amidst the ongoing debate, fans eagerly await the film's release to see how the characters' wardrobes will ultimately be portrayed.
As "It Ends With Us" continues production, fans remain divided over the unconventional fashion choices in the film. While some appreciate the uniqueness and creativity, others express concern that the outfits may distract from the story. Only time will tell whether the filmmakers' vision will win over the fans or if the controversy surrounding the wardrobe will persist.
