Blake Lively has always been a big fan of filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.
On Sunday, Nov. 3, the Gossip Girl alum, 37, paid tribute to her good friend Luhrmann, 62, in an Instagram post, revealing she’s had a photo of him up on her wall since she was a teenager — and it’s still there.
Lively shared a carousel of photos showing the stunning Tamara Ralph diamond chainmail minidress she wore teamed with a voluminous, tangerine-orange silk taffeta cape to the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday. The star-studded event honored Luhrmann and artist Simone Leigh.
The actress captioned the post, “@bazluhrmann was the first & only signed poster I was ever lucky enough to have on my wall when I was a teenager. It’s still on my wall today. To know him will always be surreal.”

Lively also posted an image showing herself photographing Luhrmann wearing her cape while barefoot in her minidress, as well as some further photos showing the Australian director posing in the dark next to a lit-up palm tree.
Among the multiple snaps, Lively put her arm around Luhrmann as the pair posed with their backs to the camera. They also posed for a selfie.
“He’ll enthusiastically play along when you ask to put your cape on him so you can take pictures of him in a pose that he has subliminally trademarked in every girl who grew up in the 90s mind,” she continued.
“Baz™️ serves as not only your inspiration, your creativity, your possibility, and your unfiltered joy, but he’s the match & the lighter fluid to it. He’s happiest when you’re happiest. That applies to strangers, friends, colleagues,” the It Ends with Us star shared.
“You can see it in his work, because it’s WHO HE IS. Congratulations my friend on your @lacma honors which of course extends to @catherinemartindesigns Baz’s partner is everything he does and is. They are inextricably linked in talent, kindness, significance and impact. CM is one of one,” she wrote, giving a special shoutout to Luhrmann’s wife and frequent collaborator, Catherine Martin.
Lively also praised “extraordinary” artist Leigh in the caption, as well as the team who created her incredible look.
