Blake Lively insisted on $600,000 wardrobe for It Ends With Us character - but was it worth it?

From allegations of sexual harassment, to interference from Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds and accustations of body-shaming, there is seemingly no element of It Ends With Us that did not cause tension - and that goes right down to the shoes on Blake Lively's feet. Justin Baldoni's lawsuit documents reveal Blake Lively insisted on a £600,000 new wardrobe in order to take control of her character, Lily Bloom Legal documents claim Blake once wanted to spend £5,000 on shoes to show her character 'had money' - despite being a fledgling small business owner A message from the Line Producer on the film dated April 25 2023 reads: 'Wardrobe's budget for spending is $185k. The actress' large requests meant Justin was 'forced to rethink an entire script that had been in the works for years', legal documents claim The documents suggest Blake's overpowering fashion choices could have blindsided Justin's vision for her character, disposing weeks of effort spent by the wardrobe team on shopping and crafting her wardrobe - which was specifically tailored to Blake's character well in advance Now, bombshell legal documents detail the lengths Blake went to in order to gain control over her wardrobe choices - despite director Justin, Sony and Wayfarer approving the character's wardrobe Now, bombshell legal documents detail the lengths Blake went to in order to gain control over her wardrobe choices - despite director Justin, Sony and Wayfarer approving the character's wardrobe. The legal documents claim Blake would often send 'hundreds of images late at night' to the film's costume designer Blake's requests meant the costume designer of the film had to 're-shop Blake's wardrobe, far exceeding the allocated budget, time and resources' The legal documents further claim Blake often 'refused' to participate in wardrobe fittings at the production office 15 minutes from her Manhattan home and allegedly demanded the outfits be shipped to her at great extra expense Last week, Justin updated his own complaint in his $400 million defamation case against the Gossip Girl star which accused Blake of giving The New York Times advanced access to her complaint of sexual harassment during the filming of the movie It Ends With Us. It was further claimed Justin had approached Blake in her trailer while she was with her team to discuss 'necessary wardrobe adjustments, reassert his role as director, and get her on board with him having approval over her character’s wardrobe' The documents claim Justin and the studio 'ceded full control to Blake over her wardrobe' in an 'effort to maintain harmony' and 'avoid further delays' which would later prove 'regrettable' 'If there’s no guard rails in place….we have to and go out on shows arguing on shows what a particular document or video means'.
