Welcome to Mother of the Month, POPSUGAR Australia’s monthly column that celebrates iconic people in the public eye. Each month, we’ll select someone who embodies everything POPSUGAR loves — a person who’s strong, confident and always keeps it real, even when that means being vulnerable. Basically? They’re MOTHER, and we’re here to tell you why.
There’s something just extra special about having Blake Lively as our Mother of the Month in August. This month, we’re celebrating a woman who defines everything POPSUGAR loves — strength, confidence, and an unapologetically real approach to life and career. Blake Lively is our ultimate MOTHER, and here’s why she’s been captivating us lately.
Why Blake Lively as Mother of the Month?
Blake Lively has been all over our screens recently, and for good reason. Her latest role in It Ends With Us is a testament to her incredible acting prowess, delivering a performance that’s both powerful and emotionally resonant.
The movie adaptation of the best-selling novel It Ends With Us has been one of the most talked-about films of the year. Based on the 2016 novel of the same name, the film follows Lily (Blake Lively), a woman who moves to a new city following college graduation and meets and falls in love with a man named Ryle. Her newfound bliss isn’t long-lived, however, as a blast from the past comes back in the form of her ex-lover who turns her world upside down. The film is set to release in August, and fans eagerly anticipate Lively’s portrayal of such a complex and beloved character.
And if that wasn’t enough to keep us buzzing, Blake’s cameo as Lady Deadpool in the Deadpool & Wolverine teaser added a fun, unexpected twist. At the front of the pack is Lady Deadpool, whose ensemble nearly matches Wade’s red suit and weaponry, except she’s got a golden blonde ponytail cascading from the top of her head. When she first appeared in the final teaser this week, many fans speculated that Blake Lively was behind the mask, given her husband, Ryan Reynolds, stars in and produced the movie. It turns out, they were right.
Blake joined Reynolds at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, wearing a custom crimson, embroidered jumpsuit by Atelier Versace. The superhero-inspired look was certainly a big hint at her cameo. Talk about a power couple moment!
