Britney Spears flattered by Blake Lively's tribute
Blake Lively discovered the dress at Tab Vintage, a Los Angeles boutique known for its rare finds, after spotting it in a social media post.
A source revealed to TMZ that the silver screen star was taken aback by the price tag but quickly decided to purchase the dress—first showcased by Spears at the Versace fashion show in 2002.
According to insiders, Lively made the purchase six months ago and chose to wear the dress for her movie premiere on August 6.
At the New York City premiere of her upcoming romantic drama, set to hit theaters on August 9, Lively turned heads in the iconic dress but made minor alterations. However, she preserved the dress’s overall length.

An insider close to Spears revealed that the singer was touched by the tribute. The 'Toxic' singer found Lively’s homage "adorable" and thought it was a "cool" gesture.
The high praise follows news that Spears is heavily involved in her upcoming biopic, including having the final say on casting.
