Blake Lively versus Emma Stone: who looked cuter at ‘The Croods’ premiere?

Here are some photos from last night’s New York premiere of The Croods, which is an animated film with voice acting from Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage and Ryan Reynolds. Surprisingly, Ryan Reynolds brought his wife Blake Lively to the premiere. Not surprisingly, they didn’t walk the red carpet together, but Ryan did pose with Emma and with a woman I’m pretty sure is Blake’s sister. Odd. Instead of making this all about Ryan (he’s super-boring), let’s talk about fashion!

Emma wore this black and white Lanvin which… puzzles me. The fabric choices puzzle me. The design puzzles me. This choice for a red carpet to support an animated film puzzles me. Something nice: she doesn’t have her bits and pieces hanging out, which is good. She opted for something “cutesy” yet high-fashion, which is appropriate for the occasion. The problem is that this dress is an utter design disaster. It looks like something Katie Holmes would design. And that’s not a compliment.

Speaking of bits and pieces hanging out, Blake wore Marios Schwab. I mean… yes, this is conservative for Blake. And while it’s a mini and her legs are SO CRAZY, it’s not like her ass is hanging out, so I guess that’s a good thing. It still feels kind of upstagey and “check out my killer legs and my insane PVC boobs!!!” Seriously, what kind of odd PVC cutout is that? Weird. Also weird: those strange gold rivets or buttons or studs along the side? What the hell? Did Duchess Kate design this?

So, which look do you prefer? I’m going with neither.

    Neither of them made me go crazy…but Ryan look soooo good!!

    • mebee says:

      Really? He looks like a cross-eyed hamster to me…

    • meg says:

      I find him handsome and hot but of course it is subjective! 😉

    • Barbara says:

      Just to stay on the top of the comments because that’s hilarious. Remember a few weeks ago that Star claimed Blake and Ryan were having problems because he’s dragging her to camping sites too often and she hates it?
      Well in the interview Ryan and Emma did for Today the subject somewhat changed to camping and Ryan said he hasn’t camped since he was in 10th grade. LOL at Star who has a great streak with them, as they said they were having relationship issues because Blake wanted to get married and Ryan was absolutely against the idea of getting married again and then two weeks later they’re married. Gotta love those tabloids failures 😛

    • meg says:

      LOL! I noticed that camping thing too! Just to prove that some mags totally make up their articles to seel copies!

  2. Sarabeth says:

    Ugh. God Blake is a tacky, boring mess. Don’t miss her try hard ass at all popping up everywhere

    • Mary says:

      Agreed! Somehow I always get the feeling that there is not much going on in her head.

      • mercy says:

        Class president who was planning to go to Stanford before she got cast in the Sisterhood movies. Just saying.

      • Vic says:

        Mercy – Planning to go does not equal actually going. And for that matter, book smart does not equal actual intelligence. There are plenty of stupid people with good grades just as there’s plenty of smart people with bad grades. Not saying that she’s stupid (I don’t think she is) but your argument isn’t very strong.

      • mercy says:

        Vic, I agree a formal education is not the only valid indicator of intelligence, but the comment I was responding too didn’t go into detail so I didn’t, either.

        Spooks, I agree, just because high marks don’t mean everything doesn’t mean they don’t count.

      • Spooks says:

        Actually, grades are correlated ( I hope that’s the right word,sorry for my bad English) with intelligence, especially in elementary school. Just sayin.

    • Talie says:

      I just realized looking at these photos, I didn’t miss seeing her. She better watch, if she doesn’t get working soon, she’ll have to start from scratch.

    • V4Real says:

      Isn’t Blake and Emma close to the same age but Blake looks years older. Emma is very attractive but the girl could use a sandwich or two.

      I still find Ryan kinda hot even though ScarJo said once she got over his good looks, she grew tired of the 5 minute sex in the missionary position. I think I still might take those 5 minutes at least once.

      • mercy says:

        And Ryan said he got bored with Scarlett looking at herself in the mirror while he did all the work. Oh wait, he didn’t say that, either. 😉

      • V4Real says:

        Well we know Ryan isn’t one to talk about his private life as for ScarJo not so sure.

      • mercy says:

        V4, I don’t know about Scarlett, but Alanis was quite verbose on every subject and I never got the impression he was somehow lacking in that department. 😉

      • V4Real says:

        Perhaps what is satisfying for one woman is not satisfying for the next. But note I did say if 5 minutes is all he could muster up I’ll take it.

    • Tiffany says:

      Blake’s dress is so ugly. Boob plate is bad, but so is the random white lining peaking out of the bottom and her elbows. I don’t like the white shoes with it either. Boob plate and white trim don’t go together at all, they have different vibes.

      I think Blake is way overrated in all areas: her face is less than average, her acting is horrible, and her fake tatas looked hard and crooked in her cellphone selfies.

  3. LadyMTL says:

    Blake Lively’s wouldn’t be that bad if that horrible plastic boob-plate wasn’t there. From the side and back it’s a nice dress, and for once it’s not shrink-wrapped onto her (admittedly fab) body.

    As for Emma Stone…sigh. What a hot mess of a dress. I guess Blake wins by default.

  4. MooHoo says:

    Love Blake’s coat. Emma’s outfit is not that bad. Her appearance has changed a lot over the past 2 years.

    • RocketMerry says:

      Yes, Emma’s appearance has changed a lot.
      She’s now very typical and boring, even when she does get the outfits right.
      I guess she always was like all the other starlets; “I just wanna be a baker!!” my arse, Emma.

      • stellalovejoydiver says:

        She also said she made a power point presentation for her parent so that they would let her drop out of highschool to pursue acting. IMO she is really calculated and her image is just as constructed as the rest of them, she is smarter than the average starlet though and I side-eye anyone who is friends with Swifty.

      • flor says:

        Yep, Emma seemed genuine but, at least, she admitted wanting it badly though.

        On a side note, Emma has lost a lot of weight. I wonder if that has to do with Andrew being so tiny. She probably felt like a giant standing next to him.

      • mercy says:

        I find the powerpoint story kind of cute, like something a smart, precocious kid would do.

  5. M says:

    Their outfits are so odd…

  6. stellalovejoydiver says:

    Not crazy about either dress, but I love Blake´s coat and handbag and I hate Emma´s nude platform heels, ugh can that trend just go away.

    Blake wins, that picture of her with the giant sloth is so cute plus she has a better figure and looks vibrant.

    • Tania says:

      I agree completely! Well said! 🙂

      Btw, did you see the photos of Blake and Ryan holding the babies while at a hospital? Even cuter!!

    • loveisthecoal says:

      I’m ready for the insane platform trend to be done in general. I have seen some heels without platforms and with a more reasonable heel for spring, so hopefully it’s on its way out!

    • mercy says:

      I’m not fan of white, nude or platform heels. That’s the only thing I don’t like about Emma’s outfit. She had a great pink coat. Too bad no pictures of that here. Blake’s white heels look like they have some sort of texture to them and they do go with the dress, so not as bad as they could’ve been.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      I agree, Blake (and Ryan) for the win. Emma looks awful here IMO.

  8. JenD says:

    I like Emma’s dress, and I think it’s occasion-appropriate. If Blake’s weird plasticky chest piece were regular material, I’d like that one, too.

  9. Amelia says:

    I don’t often say this, but Blake Lively wins hands down. Mostly because she looks happier and chirpier than Emma, who I’m starting to think may have tweaked her face a bit. Although it could just be a really bad make-up job.
    Hate Emma’s shoes.
    Quite like Blake’s coat.

    • loveisthecoal says:

      Yeah I don’t know if it’s weight loss I tweaking or a combination, but Emma looks like a completely different person than she did a few years ago. And YES Blake wins if only for that coat! I want!!

    • Apples says:

      Emma’s nose has been more than “tweaked” and more than once.

  10. Faye says:

    Neither dress would land the wearer on a “best-dressed” award, but at least Blake’s is a flattering color. Emma has looked so washed-out to me since she bleached her hair again, and the black isn’t helping.

  11. Lucy2 says:

    Neither. Blake would have easily won were it not for that weird plastic chest piece.

  12. Miss Kiki says:

    Is it Monday morning delirium or does Emma kind of look The Bosworth in the close up picture?

  13. Mr.Smurf says:

    I like the skirt part on Emma’s dress, the material looks really pretty.

  14. Maggi says:

    Emma Stone for sure!

  15. Aria says:

    I pick Blake’s. Emma’s one is a disaster.

    Don’t hate me but I really missed Blake. I want her to do crappy movies and cover Vogue. I miss her and I’m not a fan. I guess I’m sick of JLaw and Kristen Stewart.

  16. Barrett says:

    hideous.

  17. Sisi says:

    I like what blake’s dress is doing to her shoulders… That’s my nice comment for today

  18. Dee Cee says:

    Gad.. they are all top-fug losers in high-fashion’s lender hate list..

  19. Blue says:

    I want Blake’s coat

  20. aud says:

    Ummmm emma is looking wayyyy too thin. It’s so sad, she was never this thin. Should we be worried?

    Blake wins, if only for looking healthy and happy. :/

  21. someone says:

    i know this site really doesn’t like blake lively, but i was reading a great thread on reddit about best/worst celebrity encounters and someone who met her said she was a total sweetheart. apparently they were at some fashion show and they went up to her, emma stone and some other celeb and emma stone quickly said hi but blake chatted with them for a while complimenting their outfits, etc. i mean i know the internet lies (lol) so this could be totally made up, but i’ve never thought of her as being a jerk. she seems pretty down to earth. but her dress is awful.

    • thinkaboutit says:

      She’s sweet. Calculating, fame hungry…she could be those things too but she is a nice person. At the height of Gossip Girl fame, I saw her at a coffee shop in the Village and she looked like absolute hell. When I walked out after her, she was surrounded by about a dozen teens with their phones out. She was such a sport, putting on a huge smile and takings photos with all of them even though she was barely recognizable, seemed exhausted and hadn’t even had her coffee yet!

    • mercy says:

      I’m sure everyone has their off days, but Blake does seem unusually kind and real. I like Emma too, though. She seems very funny and down-to-earth in her interviews.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Yeah I like both of them too, mercy.

        I would love Blake’s dress without that weird vinyl piece in the center-although I do think it’s intersting. Love her coat too.

  22. Eleonor says:

    Blake dress is a big WTF.

  23. emmie_a says:

    Is Emma wearing a strapless dress with a t-shirt underneath?

    Did Blake get new teeth? Something looks off in her mouth area.

  24. Tessa says:

    Equally ugly outfits aside, I think Blake looks a lot better than Emma these days. She’s strong and healthy, while Emma looks frail and decidedly unhealthy. I go for strong and healthy every time.

  25. Hoya_chick says:

    I vote neither. What messes those looks are?!
    Emma’s is ill fitting/ugly and Blake’s looks unfinished with that horrible neckline and weird gold thingys hanging off.

    Interestingly, people ran a fluff piece on Blake over the weekend about how her style has matured since she got married. Ha! I’ll see if I can find it. What a crock of sh’t! She looks the exact same.

    Ryan looks like a gerbil and he can’t act, I don’t see what people see in him. Plus, I’ve never heard of this movie.

    Oh and Amelia, I think Emma is just hungry—that’s why she never smiles anymore!

    • mercy says:

      He’s a really good actor. Buried, The Nines, Smokin’ Aces are his best, imo.

      • meg says:

        Agreed! Loved him in Buried! I think he’s underrated, if he pimped himself through PR tricks like many other actors do, everyone would be all over him. He chose to keep his life private and Blake wants to do the same, I like them together and I loved they didn’t pose together, so the attention was actually on the movie and not on them. Well done!

      • mercy says:

        Agreed, meg. I think he’s very underrated as an actor, and overrated as a ‘hunk,’ though I do find him attractive.

      • meg says:

        Ahah! Me too! He has all the package, funny, caring, hot and talented! Blake is one lucky girl! Don’t know what ScarJo was thinking….

      • Jayna says:

        I loved him in that rom-com as a divorced father with Abigal as his daughter, and he was telling her the story of falling in love with her mom. He was adorable in that movie. I loved Isla Fisher, too.

      • meg says:

        @Jayna
        Yep, it was Definitely, Maybe…loved it too!

      • Trixie says:

        Loved Ryan in Buried! Definitely underrated. Maybe I will check out Definitely, Maybe now. Blake looks fantastic here and I don’t mind the faux tortoise shell bust insert. The dress fits perfectly and Blake has great legs that should be shown off.

      • meg says:

        @Trixie
        He was terrific in Buried…just him on screen for the whole movie and he was perfect, he should have had more recognition for that challenging role!And then he can pass from that to comedies!

      • Trixie says:

        @meg: Seriously thinking about seeing Buried again in remembering how good Ryan was in it!

  26. minime says:

    I might be the only one, but I really really like the combination of Emma’s dress, make-up and jewelry. I think it’s relaxed but fashionable at the same time. I just don’t understand the extra-fabric around it…

    As for “what the hell” is Blake Lively dressing, I guess at least she could have added some inches to it…it’s a children’s movie premiere, the PVC boobs are enough.

    • thinkaboutit says:

      Not just you, I absolutely LOVE Emma’s dress. She looks too thin but…meh, it’s Hollywood. Gotta give ’em what they want if you want to stay in the game. Sad but true.

    • DesertPoppy says:

      I love Emma’s dress and make-up too, I was surprised so many people don’t like it.

  27. Gemini08 says:

    I like Emma’s dress. Blake’s is just awful. And I really wish she would leave the mini dresses alone. We get it: You’re tall with great legs.

  28. GiGi says:

    You know your dress is too short when the kid standing next to you could easily see your biscuit – yikes!

  29. mercy says:

    I like them both, Emma with a kind of arty, vintage look, and Blake’s sleek and modern.

  30. Chordy says:

    I’m so far over the Ryan and Blake refusing to be photographed nonsense. Even Brangelina is starting to find this affected.

    • mercy says:

      And if they did pose together, it would have become another story. They’ve been seen together enough. She was there to support her husband’s movie.

  31. meg says:

    @ mercy
    + 1! Never got the hate against Ryan and Blake, together or separately! People still believe the BIs posted on that CNaD, which is a fake items place!

  32. phlyfiremama says:

    I like Blake’s better~much better. Is it just me, or is that kid in the 4th picture goosing Blake!?!?

  33. Vic says:

    Of course Blake Lively is doing her Jacket On – Jacket Off thing on the red carpet. OF COURSE.

    No amount of breaks from the spotlight is ever going to convince me she’s gotten rid of her attention whoring tendencies.

    Never change babe, never change.

  34. Cool Phosphorescent Shimmer says:

    Ryan’s hotness dropped into the toilet –for me–when he married this woman. Are his eyes getting even beadier? Blake always looks bored and self-important to me. The dress looks like a trap of some sort.

    Emma’s dress is atrocious, but her hair and face are so pretty.

  35. The Original Mia says:

    Emma’s dress isn’t that bad when you look at Blake’s monstrosity.

  36. Turtle Dove says:

    I like Blake’s dress. The color is great and it has some interesting details.

    she’s gotten in major shape since getting married. Both she and Ryan have been hitting the gym hard.

  37. Nessa says:

    I kind of like Emma’s outfit. I think if it would look so much better if it actually fit her, though.

    As for Blake… Meh. That’s always been my reaction to her.

  38. JH says:

    I LOVE Blake’s outfit.

  39. maitri says:

    I like blake’s dress, and i find her gorgeous….i don’t hate her, or RR…I mean, they are just inoffensive to me…they don’t really do anything to warrant emotional reactions towards them….that color burgundy ish is great on blake.
    Emma’s dress is cool, too….it’s unique and she looks comfortable in it, somehow, like it suits her…..
    I have never seen gossip girl, nor anything blake’s been in, but somehow, i enjoy seeing her on the carpets, and I do not think she looks cheap….though of course she is ambitious and some call it conniving, but really, what actor these days, or celebrity, isn’t?

  40. Shira says:

    Ryan definitely looked best.
    Someone needs to explain to me how is it possible that I’m 2 years older than Blake and she looks a decade my senior.

  41. Isa says:

    I would like Blake’s dress without the plastic piece.
    Emma’s weightloss makes me sad. She was thin enough to begin with.

  42. Me Three says:

    Okay, so can somebody answer this question? Why do obvious couples, married couples like Ryan and Blake or Goop and her Cold Play honey never pose together on red carpets? This was Ryan’s movie but why not pose with his wife and Emma?

    Just don’t get it. Seems kind of silly.

    • meg says:

      Their choice. I personally prefer them trying to keep the attention focused on the movie and not on them as a couple, rather than other celebs, even less famous than Ryan and Blake, who use public events to display PDA.

    • meg says:

      @mercy
      We always tend to agree more than not, love it! are you on some blake or ryan’s fans webistes? I’d love to talk to you there.

  43. La Calabaza says:

    Both looks are fugly. I noticed both girls have lost weight recently (too bad!!!) but Emma’s face looks kind of bloated. Bullima jaw maybe?

  44. Ally says:

    There’s some cruel comments on here about Emma’s weight loss. It’s so easy to put it down to an eating disorder because she’s a Hollywood actress. There could be many reasons why she’s lost weight.

    My first thought was stress due to her mother’s long and ongoing battle with a rare type of breast cancer. She appears to be very close to her Mom.

    • Me Three says:

      You are a nice person and are right…we make assumptions about all these people based solely on red carpet or papped photos.

    • mercy says:

      Thanks for the reality check. At the end of the day, these are real people with real feelings.

      • Isa says:

        I had no idea her mother was struggling with breast cancer. I always lose weight when I’m stressed or depressed.

  45. Carolyn says:

    Two words…Green Lantern. I can’t take Ryan or Blake seriously as actors after suffering through this movie. Suspect the industry doesn’t either.

  46. mercy says:

    I can’t speak for the industry, but superhero flicks aren’t normally considered showcases for actors or the definitive word on their talent, or lack thereof. George Clooney’s Batman comes to mind.

  47. BostonianTraveler says:

    WTF with Blake’s dress. is that some sort of crimson armor in the front? I think I can see camermen’s reflections in that POS.

    In case you hadn’t guessed, Emma for the win.

    Ryan is just a skank no matter what

  48. Mazunte says:

    Blake Lively’s outfit is utterly atrocious.
    I really like Emma Stone’s dress, though that fabric on her back is doing nothing there.

  49. Tania says:

    Blake’s hair colour is nice, it used to be a lot brassier! I think Blake looks really healthy and happy. I’m starting to get concerned about Emma. She’s been looking scary skinny. Hope she gets whatever help she needs. Sorry to hear about her mother. 🙁

  50. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Blake looks better here but the dress is too shirt for a children’s movie and I don’t get the PVC plate.

    I rather like Emma’s dress but she looks tweeked. I hope it’s just makeup. It might be the weight loss and I hope in some sense it’s due to stress from her mother’s ilness and not due to pressure to be even smaller than she was before (which was tiny as it was). All the best to her, found her very funny in Easy A.

  51. Lexi says:

    Emma stone’s dress is way nicer than blake lively’s dress, so emma looks cuter

  52. Felicia says:

    Blake should have stuck with the shoes the runway model wore with that dress: http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2013/03/blake-lively-in-marios-schwab.html

    I’ve never gotten the hate toward Blake. She seems pretty innocuous to me.

  53. mccoy says:

    emma is best. It reminds me of a kimono sash around her waist. wild design with subdued colors. classic.
