In A Simple Favor, Blake Lively wears bespoke suits and seems to appear and disappear as soon as she clinks her martini glass?. As Emily Nelson, Lively is a scheming, self-destructive blonde … not unlike the character that made her famous on Gossip Girl! (Upper East Side socialite-student Serena van der Woodsen lives forever in our hearts.) A Simple Favor is a bonkers (and satisfying) mix of satire, noir, murder, and menswear, and it recalls some of van der Woodsen’s best stunts. But can you tell one complicated, mysterious Blake Lively character from the original complicated, mysterious Blake Lively character? Match the Secretive Blonde™ to her Slightly Concerning One-liner™ in a game of Who Said That?.
