Blake Lively Opens Up About Supporting America Ferrera With Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Reunion

Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel came together to support their fellow Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-star America Ferrera 18 years after the film was released. Ferrera received a Critics Choice Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Lively shared more photos of the reunion. She also posted an effusive caption praising Ferrera’s work, and her other role as Lively’s longtime friend.

Lively wrote:

Some weeks are for the man in your life. Some weeks are for the women…
I was so happy to celebrate my denim sister @americaferrera She’s the heart and soul of @barbiethemovie because she’s the heart and soul of everything she’s a part of.
I’ve known her for 20 years. Since I was 16. I’ve watched her live, grow, soar, fall, make, break, push, fight, win, create, forge, disrupt, way make, lead, lead, lead.

That speech she gives as Gloria felt as close to real as anything I’ve ever seen on screen. Because that’s who she is. She’s that spectacular, passionate, inspiring and full of heart in her own life.

I can’t wait to watch her sweep awards up across her living room floor. No one deserves it more… for a lifetime of brilliant work.

It’s one of my life’s honors to witness her show so many women not only what’s possible, but HOW it’s done. I love you sister. Always.

Pants = Love
Love your sisters. Love yourself.

Ferrera was moved by the tribute, commenting to Lively, “???? When your girl gives good hype. I love you forever sis. ????”
