It Ends With Us: Blake Lively’s Costume Designer Opens Up On Getting Criticized For Actress’ Outfits In Movie

As a dedicated follower of Blake Lively’s career, I have to admit that her costumes in “It Ends With Us” have been quite a topic of discussion among fans, with some expressing dissatisfaction since the film’s first trailer. However, having seen Eric Daman’s work on Gossip Girl and knowing his exceptional taste, I am confident that he has a good reason behind every outfit choice.


Critics have been vocal about Blake Lively’s wardrobe in “It Ends With Us” since the initial film trailer was unveiled. Now that the movie is about to hit the screens, the costume designers working on the project have responded to these criticisms.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Eric Daman expressed his initial enthusiasm about hearing people’s reactions to his work in the film. However, when the first movie teaser was released, viewers were somewhat disillusioned because Lily Bloom’s portrayal on screen didn’t quite match their mental image of her character’s appearance.

As a devoted adherent, I can share that Daman found himself unruffled by the criticism hurled at him by the audience. Instead, what truly exhilarated him was the mere fact that there was a dialogue around his creative concepts and their execution within the movie.

The fashion aficionado expressed to the platform that after viewers understand the context of the outfits and observe how they’re coordinated within the scenes, as well as how Blake embodies Lily while wearing them, I believe audiences will be delighted and quite enthusiastic.

Eric Daman, who previously collaborated with Lively on “Gossip Girl”, has now selected wardrobes for both the main character and the actress portraying Alyssa in the upcoming movie, after a decade has passed.

Sharing his initial ideas for Lively’s character Daman, he said, “I wanted to incorporate unique, vintage items that stood out. Interestingly, Blake and I shared a similar vision regarding this, focusing on thrift store clothing and finding the perfect blend of masculine and feminine styles.”

He mentioned, “Let’s make sure Lily doesn’t come off as timid or weak. She’s a powerful, self-reliant lady, and I believe it’s crucial to avoid outfits that seem too fragile or dainty.”

 

“The upcoming movie, ‘It Ends With Us,’ adapted from Colleen Hoover’s novel, tells a love story featuring characters Lily Bloom, Ryle, and Atlas in a heart-wrenching romantic drama.”

In summary, the movie plot follows Lily Bloom as she relocates to Boston pursuing her long-held ambition to establish her own business. A chance encounter with the captivating neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid ignites a strong bond between them, yet as their love deepens, she starts noticing aspects of Ryle that echo her parents’ relationship dynamics.

Regarding the actors, Blake Lively will be joined by Justin Baldoni and Brandon Sklenar in the roles of Ryle and Atlas. It’s worth mentioning that Justin Baldoni is not only an actor but also the director for this upcoming film, set to premiere on August 9th.
