Blake Livelys Cutout Dress Is A New York Girl’s Favorite

Among the many trends that came to fruition throughout the 2021 return to celebratory wear, cutouts have received the most love and attention. The almost non-existent straps are simply placed, the gaps along the hipbones, the holes revealing the torso reminiscent of Swiss cheese designers and trendsetters have repeatedly reinvented the cut to the point where once-controversial looks have now become a mainstay of contemporary fashion. However, it’s worth noting that popular details don’t always require a commitment to flaunting everything in the style of Kendall Jenners’ latest nude cut. For example, consider the cut dress Blake Lively wore for Live Saturday Night afterparty on the weekend. (The actor attended the post-show event to support his best friend Taylor Swift, who was the musical guest of the nightly show.)

Livelys dress fit knit Khaite number with the peek-a-boo chest keyhole is a nod to the overarching fashion move that prioritizes sultry style but is strategically executed with just a few flashes of flesh. The LBD actor boasted a high neck and three-quarter sleeves, and it touched just below Livelys knees. Due to the above-mentioned aspects and the more discreet in the outfit, the chest cut on the Livelys dress felt like a subtle way to fit in with the trend.

For jewelry, Lively complemented her dark dress with a delicate gold necklace, emerald earrings, and a red heart-shaped ring. (Swift fans specifically or Swifties, as they call themselves will recognize the sapphire-colored jewelry from the new singer I Bet You Think About Me (Taylors Version) (From The Vault) music video, directed by Lively.)

Lively also brought a Chanel High-shine Diamante Flap Bag and wore a pair of Christian Louboutins Calypso Pumps for the afterparty. NS Gossip Girl alums platform heels are crafted in unconventional black and indigo, which feel in sync with her interest known for alternative out-of-the-box footwear and provide a fun pop of color to her dark-toned ensemble.

Turning back to the Livelys gown, you’ll find the exact Khaite cut available to shop below, as well as several other cut options that fall short on the subtlety side. Take Cushnies cut numbers, for example. Like Liveys, the American fashion house dress was knitted and had a keyhole in the center of the chest.
