Just like the pop star did back in the early 2000s, Blake opted for a simple, natural-looking nude manicure to complement the glittering outfit. “The ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories,” Blake said on her Instagram story, sharing a picture of Britney in the dress.

“Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment, or of years that you made us want to shine and inspire awe, with strength, and joy and immensely hard work.Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories. So excited about your biopic and all you have to come.”

Blake, accompanied by her husband Ryan Reynolds and friend Hugh Jackman, showcased her fit figure in the snug, sparkling dress. Her radiant smile and soft, peachy-pink makeup added to her stunning appearance.

Despite their busy careers, the couple remains dedicated to their growing family.
