Blake Lively's Controversial 'It Ends With Us' Costumes Cost Over Half A Million Dollars

While Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's legal battle has become the most-talked about part of It Ends With Us, there's one other aspect of the film that comes close: Blake's costumes. When paparazzi shots of the actress went viral on social media, fans had very strong reactions to her character Lily's styling — especially after it was revealed Blake was in charge of her own wardrobe. Well, in his new website reporting a full timeline of events, Justin says these outfits also pushed the movie's budget over $430K.

Here's the latest news on Blake Lively's It Ends With Us outfits.

The 'It Ends With Us' wardrobe department spent over half a million dollars.

In an April 25, 2023 email exchange Justin published on the website, a line producer writes that "wardrobe's budget for spending is $185K. Normally wardrobe over spends and then does tons of returns and ends up in budget."

"To date they've already spent $615K, and they need their cashet cards all replenished because they've only shopped for Justin and Blake," the email continues. "They had to reshop everything for Blake after creative changes, but it's a lot of money. I trust them of course, but want to keep you all posted as this is way more than I've ever seen wardrobe go over budget with the initial spend."

Despite going over budget, Blake Lively revealed on TODAY that "a lot" of the costumes in the movie are "my real life clothes or my husband's clothes, or my girlfriend Gigi [Hadid's] clothes. I was borrowing some...It's like a wedding! Something old, something borrowed, something blue, something new." ("And there it is," one X user writes. "A lot of clothes used in the movie It Ends With Us are Blake’s clothes. Which explains why the styling is horrible.")

All this leads me to ask...what the heck were they spending $615K on?!

But they were determined to show off Lily's power.

Blake collaborated with costume designer Eric Daman (who was also the costume designer on Gossip Girl) for It Ends With Us, who told The Hollywood Reporter he was dedicated to finding unique items for the film.

"I was inspired to bring in some very special, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces," he says. "Blake and I had very, very similar thoughts on that, leaning into the bin clothing and kind of striking this balance between masculine and feminine elements. We don’t want Lily to appear like a shrinking violet. She is a very strong-willed, self-empowered woman and I think it was very important not to lean into clothing where it felt more delicate."

4 Comfy Denim Trends That Will Make You Actually Love Jeans In 2025

I’m going to start this off by saying there’s a jeans trend out there for everyone, but I need to speak my truth: we do not need to bring back skinny jeans! The past is the past for a reason, so instead, look to 2025’s hottest denim trends – all of which put your utmost comfort at the forefront.

In place of restricting (and oftentimes unflattering) denim styles like the very aged skinny jean, you’ll find more roomy and billowy designs taking center stage in 2025. I’m talking about barrel jeans, baggy jeans, wide leg jeans – the whole shebang. Plus, as temps begin to warm up, loose-fitting jorts are sure to hit it big (who doesn’t love a divisive trend?).

Scroll on to shop the biggest denim trends of 2025!

1. Barrel Jeans

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Mid Rise Barrel Jean

The barrel jean hype is real. This unique shape took off in the fall of 2024, and I've been riding the bandwagon ever since.

Pistola

Pistola Wes High Rise Barrel Jeans

Barrel jeans (in my opinion) are flattering on every body type. Whether you're tall, short, petite, or plus-size, the convex silhouette makes ample room – meaning they're ultra-comfy, too.

Free People

We The Free Good Luck Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans

Barrel jeans look great with any sort of get-up you want to rock, from graphic tees to sweaters. As far as shoes go, I think the look of barrel jeans over cowgirl boots is iconic. Otherwise, low-profile shoes like ballet flats, boat shoes, or just some simple sneakers will complete the look!

2. Baggy + Wide Leg Jeans

Levi's

Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans

This next denim trend for 2025 is also clearly comfy. Baggy and wide leg jeans are hot, and in fact, they're my favorite style of jeans. I wear low-rise, baggy jeans more often than not, and they're superior when it comes to comfort. Sweatpants, who?!

Urban Outfitters

BDG Jaya Baggy Boyfriend Jean

You can find baggy jeans in tons of different washes, but nothing will ever beat a reliable medium-wash like this.

Lee

Lee Legendary Wide Leg Crop Jeans

If you can't stand the though of your jeans sagging (totally understood), reaching for wide leg jeans like this pair from Lee might just be the perfect solution. While still relaxed, these jeans hug the booty and hips, well, better.

No matter if you go the baggy route or the wide leg route, either style of denim will work wonderfully across your wardrobe, whether you want to dress them up or down!

3. Jorts

Free People

Levi's 501 Mid Thigh Shorts

You heard it right, people: jorts are in for 2025. And I'm sopumped – in the way that baggy jeans are eclipsing skinny jeans, jorts are taking the place of way-too-short, way-too-tight denim shorts! It's all about comfort, my friends.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Mid Rise 10" Loose Shorts

But just because jorts are comfortable doesn't mean they're not stylish! Though the fit and style may feel a bit unfamiliar to you at first, they're surprisingly easy to style. You can either embrace the loose fit by pairing jorts with an oversized sweater or contrast it with a fitted vest or tank. Easy!

Free People

We The Free Boomerang Long Shorts

Come spring and summer, you're really going to appreciate the flowy, breezy nature of this denim trend.

4. Bold Cuffs

Urban Outfitters

BDG Thea Cuffed Wide Leg Jean

If a bold barrel jean or wide leg isn't statement-making enough for you, you'll love to hear that cuffed jeans are another huge denim trend for 2025. The key here is finding a pair with good contrast between jean + cuff – like this dark-wash pair from BDG!

Gap

Gap Mid Rise Cuffed '90s Loose Jeans

Plus, the bigger the cuff, the better.

Banana Republic Factory

Banana Republic High-Rise Straight Jeans

I love rocking my cuffed jeans with boots of any kind especially during the wintertime, but come spring and summer, they'll still look amazing with flats or sandals.

This Amazing 'Gilmore Girls' Theory About Rory & Paris Fixes That "Depressing" Ending

Every Gilmore Girls fan remembers exactly where they were when they heard THOSE final four words at the end of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. You know the ones — Lorelai and Rory are sitting on the steps of the gazebo, when Rory says, "Mom?" "Yeah?" Lorelai replies. "I'm pregnant." I'M SORRY?!

Some fans think the writers' decision to have Rory get pregnant traps her in an "embarrassingly depressing" cycle, while others think it's a beautiful way to tie the story back to its beginning. But while it's been all but confirmed the baby is Logan's, one Reddit theory actually ties Rory's pregnancy to Paris of all people — and it makes the ending so much better.

Keep reading for the Rory and Paris Gilmore Girls theory would totally change the ending.

This 'Gilmore Girls' theory centers Rory and Paris (as it should).

According to @floatingwithobrien on Reddit, "Logan isn't the dad. Neither is Jess or the Wookiee or Paul or Dean or Colin or Finn or Robert."

You'll remember that in the "Summer" episode of the Netflix miniseries, Rory hopes that Paris, who runs a fertility clinic, might "let me be one of her surrogates. She's always liked my teeth."

"Maybe Rory simply chose a particularly dramatic way of informing her mother of this new career," the Reddit user continues. "Are you all happy now? I gave you an out. Rory isn't going to be a mom, she's a surrogate, because she needs the cash. She has been artificially inseminated so she can sell the resultant child to a couple in need. (For anyone sensitive about fertility issues, this is a hard /s, just FYI.)"

This theory totally reframes those final four words because considering so much of Lorelai's story involves her feeling like she had no choice, making Rory a surrogate gives her ultimate agency over her life. "Paris is the dad (so to speak)," @floatingwithobrien says. "Eat it up, kids."

And other fans are totally running with it! "Finally someone else thinks this too!" prosperosniece says. "My guess is that Rory is carrying a baby for Michel in exchange for money to get her masters degree so she can teach at Chilton."

However, BrownieEdges points out that "she’s not selfless enough to carry a baby for someone else." Yikes.

But if the baby really is Logan's, and Rory raises them, Lauren Graham has her "own fantasy" for how A Year in the Life season 2 could open.

"I think it's gonna be a girl and I think she calls her another permutation of Lorelai, cause you know Rory's short for Lorelai," she said during her Have I Told You This Already? book tour. "And I'm gonna go with Lola. I made all of that up, don't get me in trouble!"

Baby Lola!! I just know that Lorelai would make a fantastic grandmother, and she'd totally spoil her granddaughter with tons of coffee and incredible music. (Plus killer fashion accessories). Scott Patterson told me he's "always hopeful" for a Gilmore Girls revival so hopefully one day we'll find out what Lorelai and Rory's life looks like in 2025!

Read up on This Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Season 2 Idea Would Make Rory Way More Likeable for yet another idea on what the future of GG could bring.
