Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds joined Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at a screening of the big screen musical Dec. 3, paying tribute to The Wizard of Oz with their fashion.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are dancing through life one date night at a time.
The couple stepped out in New York City Dec. 3 for a special screening of Wicked alongside the big screen musical’s stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, where Blake appeared to channel Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz with her fashion.
Blake, 37, arrived to the screening wearing shimmering red shoes, an homage to the iconic ruby red slippers from the 1939 film. Much like the iconic heroine—who was famously portrayed by Judy Garland—the rest of the It Ends with Us star’s ensemble followed a white and blue color scheme, including her Chanel handbag.
Meanwhile, Ryan, 48, seemingly gave a stylish nod of his own to the Hollywood classic, pairing a beige corduroy shirt jacket and matching pants with tan-colored suede loafers—not unlike the Cowardly Lion who accompanies Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road.
During the event, the pair—who wed in 2012 and share kids James, 9, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 21 months—also posed for photos with Ariana and Cynthia, who play Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, in the big screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical.
And it’s no surprise that Blake and Ryan chose a musical for their night out. After all, the Gossip Girl alum took her hubby and their three eldest children to a performance of & Juliet to celebrate Ryan’s birthday in October, E! News confirmed at the time. And when they went backstage to meet the show’s cast, Blake explained why they opted to see the play to mark the occasion.
“I know he loves musicals, I love musicals, the kids love musicals,” she told the show’s cast backstage, per People. “So it felt like the right choice!”
