Blake Lively packs her outrageously big hat for the destination wedding film of the year

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back for “Another Simple Favor.” This time, a destination wedding on a sun-drenched Italian island is the backdrop to intrigue, murderous intent, and floppy hats the size of small parachutes.

Six years after their original outing, actors Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back for “Another Simple Favor.” This time, a destination wedding on a sun-drenched Italian island is the backdrop to intrigue, murderous intent, and floppy hats the size of small parachutes. The sequel to 2018’s dark comedy “A Simple Favor” sees the cunning Emily (Lively) reunite with frenemy Stephanie (Kendrick) after the former’s early release from prison for double murder. The simple favor in question this time? “Will you be my maid of honor?” Emily asks — a surprising turn as Stephanie played a key role in the arrest and conviction of Emily years prior. Nonetheless, the two jet off to Capri, Italy, for the lavish wedding of Emily and the very suave and wealthy Dante (played Michele Morrone) where betrayal, snappy dialogue and vintage mob boss-inspired suits await them. Fans of Emily and Stephanie’s wardrobe in 2018 can look forward to more bold, opulent statement pieces and elevated looks, according to the film’s costume designer Renee Ehrlich Kalfus. “I’d say the whole of the picture was to attain more of a grand and over the top style,” Kalfus told CNN over email. “The costumes altogether were designed to be imposing and memorable.” When we first see Emily, her outfit leaves us in no doubt where she’s been these last few years. Her jumpsuit is a couture twist on the cartoonish striped getup of a jailbird. Her hooped earrings resemble separated handcuffs, and her belt reminiscent of one you might see on a member of a chain gang.
