Britney Spears seemed to throw shade at Blake Lively for wearing her 2002 Versace dress at the “It Ends With Us” New York City premiere on Tuesday.
In an Instagram video shared on Saturday, the “Toxic” singer, 42, wore an “updated” version of the dress which she said she likes “way better.”
The dress she wore in the dance video — set to the tune of “Your Love” by the Outfield — was another sparkling, colorful rendition of the famous dress. However, Spears’ new garment features skinny shoulder straps and side cut outs.

She finished the look with a pair of nude pumps and some small jewelry pieces.
“I like it way better,” Spears said of the dress. “Shows my legs !!! 💅🏻👗🌷🌷.”
After the singer was accused of shading Lively with her post, she praised the “Gossip Girl” star with an update caption.
“Updated version of my 2002 Versace dress 👗 !!! I’m no @blakelively but I like it,” she wrote instead, but still insisted that the new dress highlighted her legs.

Lively, 36, wore the dress once worn by Spears at the Tuesday premiere of her new movie, which prompted fans to speculate that Lively was throwing her hat in the ring to one day portray the “Gimme More” hitmaker in her future biopic.
“Blake Lively is a true Britney Spears stan,” one fan wrote on X. “Her showing her love for Brit in such an honest & adoring way makes me think she’d be a good candidate for the biopic.”
However, multiple industry insiders shared with us that it’s likely Lively has no ulterior motives and instead is “just a fan” of the singer.

“Blake wearing Britney’s dress was not a subliminal message about the biopic,” a source close to Spears said.
“And Britney’s song ‘Everytime’ is in ‘It Ends With Us,’ so it’s a nod to that, too,” the source further said, adding that “it’s too soon” for anyone to be pushing for a role in the film.
“There haven’t been any formal discussions about casting for the biopic yet.”
