Rewind to the Upper East Side

Blake Lively recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, embodying her beloved “Gossip Girl” role.

Playing dress-up from her home, she humorously recreated some of her character’s classic moments. Whether flaunting Serena’s chic style or channeling her dramatic flair, Blake brought a touch of the Upper East Side back to life.

Her husband, Ryan Reynolds, hilariously participated by playing various other characters, adding humor to the scenes.

The duo’s playful antics delighted fans, giving them a taste of Serena’s world mixed with Reynolds’ unmistakable comedic charm, proving once again their enviable dynamic as a couple.

Ryan Reynolds: One-Man Show

Ryan Reynolds takes on the ambitious task of playing multiple characters from “Gossip Girl,” bringing his signature humor and charisma to each role.

Blake Lively provides the perfect partner in this creative endeavor, as they explore the nostalgic scenes together.

From Deadpool to Dan Humphrey

Ryan Reynolds, known for his iconic portrayal of Deadpool, steps into a very different pair of shoes: Dan Humphrey’s, no less.

He hilariously reinvents Dan with all the charm and sass audiences have come to expect from him. Imagine his Deadpool quips delivered in serious Humphrey style—an amusing juxtaposition that results in unexpected laughter.

Ryan uses clever props and costumes to transform into various characters with comedic flair. Whether it’s Penn Badgley’s brooding look or Chuck Bass’s signature smirk, Reynolds brings a humorous twist to each character.

It’s clear he delights in the playful absurdity of this role-swap, illustrating his versatility and sense of fun.

Fashion Flashback: Those Iconic Outfits

Blake Lively decided to rewrite fashion history from the comfort of her living room. She slipped into Serena van der Woodsen’s glamorous outfits, adding her own twist along the way.

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds tried his best to pull off Chuck Bass’s signature scarf with unparalleled enthusiasm.

Walking down memory lane isn’t complete without the classics. Lively brought out the iconic headband, oversized sunglasses, and statement handbags. Ryan, predictably, had his own ideas with headbands—sporting his own variety from kitchens across America.

• Serena’s Staples:
  • Maxi Dresses: Flowy and fabulous
  • Boho Chic Accessories: Headbands and bangles galore
  • Stilettos: Adding stature to everyday chaos

Lively’s resourcefulness was unmatched as she raided their closets for just the right outfit pieces. Reynolds, in a snazzy suit jacket, almost outshone her as a bewildered Nate Archibald, complete with carefully tousled hair.

Ryan’s Renditions:

• Blazers: Borrowed from his own closet
• Bow Ties and Scarf Sciences: A work in progress
• Mischievous Grins: Accessorized with slight sarcasm

The couple brought fresh humor to these beloved styles, giving fans much-needed nostalgia with a side of chuckles. Adjusting the wardrobe and adding their comedic spin, they revisited each fashionable era with flair.

DIY Set Design: Spotted at the Reynolds Residence

At the Reynolds household, creativity knows no bounds when it comes to reviving Gossip Girl magic. With a dash of imagination and a sprinkle of humor, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds turn their home into a stage-worthy spectacle.

Crafty Condo Transformation

In a burst of creative energy, their living room morphs into the Upper East Side’s chicest condo.

Using little more than sheer fabric and strategically placed lamps, they recreate Serena van der Woodsen’s iconic backdrop. Blake ensures the curtains billow dramatically while Ryan, embracing his role, mans the fan with gusto.

Furniture shifts around like it’s on a NYC subway schedule. A coffee table doubles as an extravagant dining setup with elegant tableware sourced from an unexpected aisle at the local supermarket. The couple’s flair for detail extends even to the salted caramel candles, channeling the signature scent of Manhattan’s elite haunts. Most impressive is their makeshift chandelier, deftly assembled from glittering Christmas decorations and leftover birthday balloons—proof that glamour can indeed be DIY.

Props & Mishaps

Every set needs its props, and the Reynolds duo doesn’t disappoint. Plastic martini glasses and a monocle are among the treasures found in their trunk of props.

Blake, mastering the art of multitasking, juggles lines with prop hunting while Ryan fumbles heroically through scene changes, occasionally dropping a fake diamond bracelet—because drama is nothing without a little chaos.

Each scene faces its share of mishaps, with Ryan humorously struggling to keep his assortment of wigs untangled. Without missing a beat, though, he uses the chaos to his advantage, transforming it into a comic routine that leaves the audience (Blake) in stitches. It’s all part of the charm at the Reynolds residence, where a slight prop mishap turns into the highlight of the performance.
