Blake Lively spent more than $10,000 on Britney Spears’ Versace dress.
Blake Lively didn’t have to break the bank for her Britney Spears tribute … because TMZ found out how much she paid for a Versace dress the singer famously wore back in the day.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Blake spent a little more than $10,000 for Britney’s iconic outfit from the 2002 Versace fashion show.
We’re told Blake purchased the dress through Tab Vintage, a shop in Los Angeles specializing in vintage clothing. The store posted the dress on social media, but didn’t include the price — and when Blake inquired about the cost, she was surprised … and just had to have the garment.
Blake bought the colorful, one-strap dress about 6 months ago … and she was waiting for the perfect moment to wear it … breaking it out Tuesday at the movie premiere of “It Ends With Us.”
Our sources say Blake made only a few minor alterations … but she did NOT change the length. When Britney wore it, the hem of the dress reached the floor — but on Blake’s body, it ends at her ankles.
A source close to Britney tells TMZ … Britney saw Blake in the dress, thought she looked adorable, and is very flattered — and thinks it’s a cool tribute!
Blake channeling Britney comes just a few days after we reported Britney would have final say on casting for her upcoming biopic.
