Blake Lively just winked atThe Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fans.

The 36-year-old actress appeared at a surprise screening for her upcoming film It Ends with Us in a unique pair of jeans, nodding to her breakout role in the 2000s franchise.

“Well. You finally got a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants sequel last night,” the actress captioned a video that she re-shared to her Instagram Stories following the Saturday, June 15 event in Grapevine, Texas. “Except one of our sisters is looking extremely male.”

The clip shows Lively posing with It Ends with Us author Colleen Hoover as well as castmates Isabela Ferrer (who plays a younger version of Lively’s character, Lily) and Brandon Sklenar, all of whom are wearing jeans. Lively’s however, are a standout for more reasons than one.

The Gossip Girl alum paired her simple white tank with a $19,000 pair of Valentino jeans featuring dramatic cutouts and a floral embroidery.

Lively starred in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, an adaptation of Ann Brashares’ YA book of the same name, in 2005 alongside Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn. The group also appeared in the 2008 sequel. While there are five books in the series, the film franchise stopped at the second movie, causing some fans to wonder if another sequel will ever come to fruition.

The cast members, who remain friends, have reunited numerous times and have even hinted at a third movie, but no official plans have been announced.

In another Instagram Stories post from the screening, Lively wrote, “Shoutout to the real star of the movie, my @maisonvalentino jeans.” The caption accompanied a photo of herself and Ferrer with Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 tune “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” playing over it.

Lively accessorized her look with denim pointed-toe pumps and hoop earrings. Her trademark long, blonde hair was parted to the side and styled into voluminous waves. Ferrer donned a similar look, pairing her cuffed jeans with a delicate white cropped shirt. She also added embellished sandals and a black purse.

“I love Lily so much… I just love her,” Lively said of her character during a Q&A panel for Book Bonanza on Friday, June 14. “And I think that that’s really important to love the character that you’re playing and to just understand and just… feel the heart and soul and all the people around you,” she said, adding that, “every single person in this movie is a revelation.”
