New York City remains the ultimate runway for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, whose street-style chemistry consistently sets the standard for transitional dressing.

During a stroll through Manhattan on November 10, 2023, the couple demonstrated how thoughtful color palettes and high-low accessories can elevate everyday essentials — a philosophy they’ve carried from off-duty street style to the red carpet, as seen in one of their most memorable joint appearances in 2022.

Their coordinated aesthetic centers on a shared approach to footwear and layering, blending designer staples with classic silhouettes.

From Lively’s signature use of vibrant sneakers to Reynolds’ preference for heritage-inspired textures, their outfits offer a masterclass in functional, timeless city style.

Blake Lively’s Cozy Fall Layers and Bright Sneakers

Blake donned a green-and-yellow striped sweater, artfully layered beneath an olive Smythe jacket featuring utilitarian oversized pockets.

Completing her autumn-approved ensemble, Blake Lively’s style during her Shallows press tour proved she is a master of the high-low mix. She paired the coat with straight-leg jeans and added a vibrant pop of color by sporting pastel yellow high-top Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers—a Todd Snyder wardrobe staple that perfectly bridged the gap between casual comfort and intentional city styling.

Her pastel-yellow high-top Converse aren’t just a cute color pop—they’re a smart styling “anchor,” tapping into the Chuck Taylor’s forever-icon status while keeping the rest of the look polished and practical.

The style parade continued with high-end accessories; the Age of Adaline actress carried a Louis Vuitton Capucines BB bag. The luxury piece was embellished with yellow, white, and brown leather accents, expertly tying together the earthy tones of her jacket and the sunny hue of her footwear.

With minimal accessories, a side-parted, slightly unkempt hairdo, and understated makeup, Blake exuded a relaxed yet chic vibe.

Ryan Reynolds’ Relaxed Fall Outfit with a Nod to Wrexham

Not to be outdone, Ryan Reynolds complemented his gorgeous wife’s flair with an equally fashionable ensemble. Effortlessly cool, The Adam Project star wore a brown plaid button-down shirt and beige khakis.

Layering with an olive jacket, discreetly paying homage to Wrexham AFC – the Welsh soccer team he co-owns with Rob McElhenney – Ryan featured the squad’s crest on his lapel.

Sandra Bullock’s The Proposal co-star wore white sneakers, seamlessly blending style and comfort. Sporting glasses and topping off the look with a gray beanie, Ryan showcased his signature laid-back charm.

As they strolled through the city streets, the loved-up couple, parents to four children, appeared engrossed in conversation, exchanging smiles and laughter.

The Lively-Reynolds duo, who exchanged vows in 2012, has consistently turned heads with their fashion choices in recent months, and this cozy fall stroll was no exception.

Blake and Ryan’s Coordinated October Street Style

A few weeks earlier, the couple strolled through the city arm in arm, clad in darker neutrals. They added matching elements to their outfits through green-lensed sunglasses.

Ryan wore a gray shirt, jacket, and pants, and the same beanie and sneakers. His outfit perfectly complemented Blake’s black wool coat, which she layered over a navy hoodie.

The Rhythm Section actress completed her look with light-wash baggy denim, tan buckle boots, and a navy Chanel cross-body bag.

While their off-duty street style champions quiet luxury and effortless layering, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are just as compelling when the dress code shifts to full red-carpet glamour.

To see their style chemistry at its most cinematic, it’s worth revisiting one of their most iconic coordinated appearances — a moment that reminded fashion watchers why the couple commands attention well beyond the sidewalks of New York.

Inside Blake Lively’s Hair and Makeup for the Premiere

Glamming up for her rare red carpet moment, Blake had her long golden tresses styled in loose waves and pulled into a half-up style by stylist Jennifer Yepez.

She then wore a swipe of coral lipstick with a hint of sheen, subtle smoky chocolate eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara, care of makeup artist Kristofer Buckle, who told E! News that the way Blake styles herself is “rare in the business.”

“Blake always steers the ship when it comes to her looks,” he added.

Blake Lively’s Sparkling Jewelry and Unique Nail Art

As for her nails, The Shallows star opted for taupe with mini moons in soft coral shades, using LeChat, done by Elle Gerstein.

Blake added more sparkle to her look by stacking rows of crystal-encrusted chunky bangles from Lorraine Schwartz on her wrist and wearing pale agate disc earrings.

Blake Lively’s Crystal-Embellished Gucci Sandals

When it came to her footwear, she slipped her feet into the Gucci “Mallory” sandals in baby-blue suede. These sandals boast crystal-embellished straps, open toes, and about 4-inch heels. She also wore them with a floral maternity dress in 2016.

Another fan of these shoes is Kate Beckinsale, who wore crystal-embellished Gucci “Mallory” sandals at the 2014 LACMA Art + Film Gala honoring Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino.

Blake Lively’s affinity for Gucci has been evident throughout her illustrious career. Notably, at the 2014 Angel Ball, she showcased her baby bump in a form-fitting Gucci Cruise 2015 gown, complemented by the brand’s ‘Naomi’ sandals, distinguished by their crystal-embellished T-straps.

Earlier that year, during the Cannes Film Festival, Blake graced the red carpet in a wine-colored Gucci Première gown, further solidifying her status as a fashion icon.
