Blake Lively Celebrates Friend's Birthday with Throwback Photo

Blake Lively posted a lighthearted image on her Instagram Stories to honor her friend Samantha Stone's birthday on November 24. The actress, aged 37, expressed gratitude for their friendship through this charming tribute.

In the throwback photo, Lively is seen blowing her nose on New Year’s, while Stone joyfully raises her hand. Lively’s caption reads, "Find you a girl who spends New Year’s with you while you’re snotty and have a cold but she brings the fun to you." She added, "Always. Because that’s who she is. Fun. Kindness. Goodness."

Lively continues by stating, "@samanthastone I’m glad you were born. Some amount of years ago today. Happy Birthday." Stone holds the position of Chief Membership Officer at Soho House.

Lively's cheerful post follows another tribute she made to filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, 62. She shared her nostalgic connection regarding the signed poster she had cherished since her teenage years.

On November 3, Lively shared a series of images from the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles, an event honoring Luhrmann and artist Simone Leigh. In her caption, Lively mentioned, "@bazluhrmann was the first & only signed poster I was ever lucky enough to have on my wall when I was a teenager." She added, "It’s still on my wall today. To know him will always be surreal."

The carousel includes moments of the pair enjoying their time together and even taking photos of each other. Lively described Luhrmann’s vibrant spirit, stating, "He’s even more mischievous and magical in real life." She reminisced about how he would grab her hand and whisk her away from the gala for spontaneous photoshoots. "Inspired by everything, your cape and a palm tree is all he needs to see thrill."
