Blake Lively brings her own ruby slippers to ‘Wicked’ screening with Ryan Reynolds and cast

Ryan, we’re not in Kansas anymore.

Blake Lively attended a screening of “Wicked” in New York City last night, dressing on-theme in ruby red slippers, in an homage to Dorothy’s famous pair from the 1939 film.

The “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, went for a high-fashion twist on the footwear, though, choosing a statement-making rhinestone-covered platform pair by Marc Jacobs ($450) — which the designer specifically made as part of a “Wizard of Oz” capsule collection.

Lively allowed the dazzling, attention-garnering shoes to take on the spotlight by opting for a sleek white blazer and classic light-wash jeans.

And, though her “It Ends With Us Tour” press tour in all its floral glory is in the rearview mirror, Lively sprinkled some flower-adorned pieces into the look last night, including an embroidered button-down, statement earrings, and a Chanel purse. This time, however, the verdant looks were likely a tribute to the film’s poppies.

Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, accompanied her to the screening, wearing a head-to-toe khaki look, perhaps becoming a scarecrow?

The couple posed at the special screening with Glinda and Elphaba themselves, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, and some of the cast — including Ethan Slater and Peter Dinklage — were also in attendance.

While Lively was mirroring the film-specific heels, the original were actually not meant to be a bright red color, per L. Frank Baum’s original books but were made colorful for the movie.

“They’re not ruby,” Paul Tazewell, the costume designer for “Wicked,” told People about the original style. “In the book, they were these odd little silver boots.” But because the film was created in technicolor, the studio wanted to be able to show various shades, such as the red shoes.”

Tazewell created his own iteration for the movie — a silver pair with swirls and jewels that are gifted to Nessarose Thropp, Elphaba’s sister, by their father.
