Blake Lively is feeling all of the love -- and giving some back!
On Wednesday, the It Ends With Us star took to Instagram to share some praise she recently received.
"I got maybe the best compliment of my life after this weekend. Someone on social called me a 'crown straightener'. 'A woman going around straightening all the women's crowns around her' It meant so much to me because it's those invisible things people see that make us all feel best," Lively wrote.
The 36-year-old actress went on to celebrate some important women in her life, including husband Ryan Reynolds' mother, Tammy Reynolds, and It Ends With Us author, Colleen Hoover.
"I learned that we're all sparkling leaders 👑, stronger together, from ALL the women in my life, blood and chosen. I am surrounded by crown straighteners. This weekend alone was packed with that empowering female energy. When I looked back at these pics, I saw it all in action. And it made me feel so lucky and loved," Lively wrote. "From @colleenhoover to her best friend, the powerhouse @tarrynfisher to my divine mother in law @tamtam1944 to the most loving and generous person to watch @itendswithusmovie movie next to @isabela.ferrer to the women who make me feel most beautiful inside and out @vivianbaker & @jennifer_yepez to the women at @sonypictures making such IMMENSE effort to bring joy look easy, especially Danni, Emily, Cori, Bridgette, Rose, Chrissy, Gloria, Stephanie, Ulga the women at @book.bonanza volunteering and also attending And the men who show up for us too. We love you."
The mother of four's post lead with a photo of her adjusting Hoover's dress in the bathroom, and followed with a pic of her alternating a friend's pants leg, followed by a photo of her getting glam before a red carpet. Other images included a moment of Lively smiling in a matching outfit with her mother-in-law, as well as a photo of her sparkly shoes.
Lively is mom to four children, including James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, whom she shares with her husband. The pair welcomed their fourth child in 2023, and have yet to reveal the little one's name.
In June, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star gushed to ET about another important woman in her life, her friend, Taylor Swift.
"You could've put any song on, like, her music is just, like, unmatched," she gushed of Swift's discography. "Her writing is so beautiful and it's so personal and you can feel that, you can feel that in the way that she sings. You can feel that in her lyrics."
