Blake Lively dares to bare as she goes shirtless at It Ends With Us photocall

Blake Lively opted for a bold shirtless look as she promoted her new film in London.

The Gossip Girl actress, 36, chose an oversized pastel trouser suit with floral embroidery for a photocall for It Ends With Us, forgoing a top underneath.

She left the jacket undone as she posed for photographers on a central London rooftop.

The Hollywood star, who is married to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, is in London for the release of her new film, which is based on the hit novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover.

The book, which has been a phenomenon on TikTok, tells the story of Lily Bloom (Lively) as she falls in love with Ryle Kincaid (played by Justin Baldoni) before reconnecting with her first love Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar).

Lively, who recently made headlines for her scene-stealing cameo opposite Reynolds in Deadpool and Wolverine, has turned heads with her bold fashion choices as she promotes the film.

Earlier this week, she arrived at the New York premiere wearing a dress previously worn by Britney Spears.

She appeared on the red carpet in the vintage Versace butterfly dress adorned with sequin flowers that Spears first wore in 2002.

She told US magazine People: “It is Britney’s actual dress.

“It should be in the Smithsonian or the Met. But it’s on me. I feel so lucky!”

It Ends With Us is released in UK cinemas on August 9.
