Blake Lively Had a Self-Tanner Slip at the Another Simple Favor Premiere

Blake Lively may be a red carpet regular, but even beauty pros can have a little oops moment—and hers is the kind we totally relate to.

At the NYC premiere of her new film Another Simple Favor, the actress served full-on glow with radiant skin, soft waves, and an ethereal beat. But sharp-eyed fans spotted a tiny hiccup: a faint brownish smudge under her arm, likely from self-tanner or body makeup that transferred to her mint green gown.

The Look? Glowing. The Mishap? So Real.

From her flawless base to peachy cheeks and a soft pink lip, Blake’s glam was giving spring goddess. But it was her sun-kissed bronzed glow—especially on her arms and décolletage—that stood out… and possibly snuck its way onto her dress.

We’ve all been there: You nail your faux glow, only for it to show up somewhere uninvited—like the seams of your outfit. Whether it was body bronzer, a setting spray fail, or a classic tanner rub-off, it’s a reminder that beauty routines aren’t always foolproof (and neither are red carpets).

Why This Is Actually a Beauty Win

Instead of letting the moment throw her off, Blake posed confidently and beamed through the night. That’s the real takeaway here: a beauty blip doesn’t kill the glow—especially when the rest of your look is dialed all the way up.

Plus, her skin was radiant, her makeup soft and perfectly blended, and her hair in effortless waves. Honestly? She still ate.

The Beauty Lesson: Prep + Set (And Laugh It Off)

For anyone who’s ever had their self-tanner betray them, here’s the takeaway:

• Always exfoliate and moisturize beforehand.
• Use a body-safe setting spray or powder to lock in the tan.
• And maybe skip tanner near tight seams, just in case.

But if things don’t go 100% perfectly? Just channel Blake and own it.
