Body acceptance advocate Katie Sturino was delighted when Blake Lively publicly supported her re-creation of a new outfit for her popular Instagram series #SuperSizeTheLook.

“Denim on denim goddess! Blake shows us the power of a denim grave ,” Sturino captioned a side by side photo last month that showed her and the actress, 37, rocking similar ensembles.

Sturino, 43, explained in the caption that her version of the look included a 3X dress from Forever 21, a size 22 Lane Bryant trench coat and size 12 Naturalizer shoes.

After seeing the post, Lively commented, “Awesome always love this. Thanks for the honor.”

She then joked about the micro handbags they were both wearing in the photos, adding: “And I love your purse. Even if they don’t hold our phones I don’t care . It’s too cute.”

In an exclusive interview with Page Six Style, Sturino says she was “really excited that (Lively) noticed” the upload.

“I’m a huge fan of hers, and I think she’s doing incredible things for women,” the influencer shares, adding that Lively has commented on other recreations in the past.

Earlier this fall, Lively came under fire during her press tour for the movie “It Ends Like Us,” which hit theaters in August.

Mainly she received criticism for with a focus on floral fashionher Blake Brown hair care line, Betty Booze alcohol brand and her husband Ryan Reynolds “Deadpool & Wolverine” movie instead of the serious topics covered in her film “It Ends With Us,” including domestic violence and abuse.

“Blake Lively spending all the press for her new movie, which is about domestic violence and abuse, acting like it’s a fun girls’ night out like watching ‘Mamma Mia’ while promoting her companies is INSANE behavior,” one of many critics written via X (formerly Twitter).

Another user was “appalled” by Lively cracked jokes when a reporter asked what she would say to fans who “relate” to the film’s heavy themes.

Following the backlash, the movie star took to her Instagram to post a clip from one of her interviews where she labeled her character, Lily Bloom, a “survivor”. The actress then shared statistics on intimate partner violence as well as a link to a hotline and access to “immediate help”.

As for Sturino, she tells Page Six Style that other celebrities — including Reese Witherspoon, Busy Philipps, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kelly Rutherford, Kathy Hilton and Christine Quinn — have come across her work and praised her for it online.

#SuperSizeTheLook was born in 2015 because Sturino “wanted to show women of all sizes that if they were inspired by a celebrity style, they could actually wear that style regardless of size.”

“Because celebrities are usually so petite, I think women often say, ‘I like it, but I can’t wear it because of my arms, legs,’ whatever body part they feel insecure about,” she tells us. “And so I just like to show women on my frame, who are a size 18, that they can actually rock this style.”

Over the past nine years, Sturino says she realized “women of all sizes” were following her on social media because they were “inspired by the fact that (she) was fearless” with her fashion.

“I thought, ‘Wait, all these women — even the smaller ones — feel like they can’t wear this, they can’t wear that? This is wrong, and I’m going to help women of all sizes feel better and feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin,” she says.

Sturino, who founded Megababe beautya product line that addresses “thigh chafing, chest sweat and luscious dimples,” has also partnered with Syfix to help the average woman access a personal stylist at an affordable price in her own home.

The Wisconsin native recently shared with her more than 800,000 Instagram followers her disappointment over Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024which resumed its original format last month after a five-year hiatus complaints that its products and models were not comprehensive enough.

“They took six years off, five or six years off to reset as a brand, which was absolutely necessary for them to do,” she says. “And they came back, and it just felt like I was in a time machine watching the same thing — like, yeah, they had some diversity on the track, but for the majority (of the show) it was just as impossibly standard.”

While Sturino refers to the typically thin Victoria’s Secret Angel as “beautiful,” she thinks this year’s catwalk event is still “selling a fantasy and an unattainable goal.”

“For me, it wasn’t an invitation to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel, like in your own way,” she laments. “It was like, ‘Look how hot everyone is.’

Considering the A-listers rarely acknowledged recent obsession with diabetes medications turned weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, we ask Sturino for her take on the undoubtedly troubling trend.

“It’s hard because it’s a tool that helps so many people, but it just gets misused by people who don’t need it. And then it kind of gets demonized,” she explains, calling the conversation “complicated.”
