Blake Lively just put out a silly, goofy commercial wearing the silly, goofy footwear trend of the summer.
On July 10, Lively’s alcohol-free mixer brand, Betty Buzz, dropped a new commercial starring its founder and a toucan. “I asked for two cans from Amazon,” Lively says from inside some sort of caged-in zoo enclosure. “Not a fucking toucan from the Amazon.” Cue a colorful bird pecking at her navy trousers. Cute! But I want to talk about her outfit.
In the clip, which begins zoomed in on Lively’s bemused expression, the 35-year-old actor is wearing a padded-shoulder blazer and matching trousers with a white tank top. As the shot zooms out, however, it appears she paired the power suit with a breezy yellow summer sandal and a set of thick gray socks…which is definitely an interesting choice.
See for yourself:
Socks and sandals are quickly becoming a thing in summer 2023. Of course, Jennifer Lawrence pairing sporty black socks with Adilette Comfort Slides could have meant nothing. I mean, everybody’s dad has worn that combo on vacation at some point. But then Hailey Bieber went and paired a set of black fisherman sandals with white crew socks and it looked like we were heading straight toward a summer of ankle tan lines.
Forget cottagecore, balletcore, and Barbiecore. Now that Blake Lively has hopped on this unexpected trend, it’s officially touristcore season. Get into it.
