New photo The reason Blake Lively has ONLY been wearing suits for months

You can say a whole lot with your style — and lately, Blake Lively's sartorial choices have been screaming, 'See my new movie!'

The 31-year-old actress has been promoting her latest flick, A Simple Favor, in some form or another since April. But while it would surprise no one that she's been hitting up talk shows and teasing the film on Instagram, she's also been sending subtle messages to her fans through her fashion choices.

Blake has been getting in character — or at least, into her character's wardrobe — for months now, almost exclusively wearing suits to draw closer parallels between her and her on-screen alter ego.

Chic uniform! Blake Lively has been wearing suits almost exclusively to promote her new film, A Simple Favor (pictured today at the UK premiere)

On a roll! Since April, she has worn at least 19 different suits, including this Ralph Lauren tux on September 7

From the start: She kicked things off with this Sonia Rykiel dress on April 26

In A Simple Favor, Blake plays the very glamorous Emily, who has a high-powered job and rocks sleek, fitted designer suits that are equal parts powerful and sexy.

Blake clearly liked the style — enough that she's adapted it as her own while promoting the film since this spring. 

Director Paul Feig — who is also behind Bridesmaids, The Heat, and Freaks and Geeks — said the idea for the fashion crossover was all Blake's.

'We invented the look when we were putting the movie together, back in one of our first meetings with Renée Kalfus our wardrobe designer,' he told Cosmopolitan.com. 

'As we were finishing up, putting everything together, I had seen a couple of pictures of her in suits, then she contacted me and she said, "You know what, I'm just gonna keep going with the suits to help promote the movie."'

Thriller: Blake stars alongside Anna Kendrick in the film, which sees her wearing a lot of sexy, intimidating suits — the opposite of Anna's character, who wears girly dresses

Sticking to a look: Blake wore a colorful Roland Mouret ensemble on August 18 (left), and a pink Vivienne Westwood suit on August 20 (right) while promoting the movie

Going girly: She wore this Ralph & Russo one with flowy pants beside a minidress-wearing Anna on August 20

So far, she's sported at least 19 different suits for events and appearances.

Feig has been a fan of her fashion picks, too, adding: 'Each one was more spectacular than the next!'

Blake is famously her own stylist and doesn't work with a team to pick her outfits, so sticking to the theme has likely been a fun challenge for the star.

She kicked things off back on April 26, wearing a custom Sonia Rykiel navy blazer dress to a CinemaCon presentation of A Simple Favor.

In May, she picked a Ralph Lauren suit for another movie event, and was onto a velvet Brunello Cucinelli ensemble while out in New York in August.

Also in August, she wore a neon green Versace look, which was actually pulled from the designer's menswear collection, and picked a Bottega Veneta short suit later that same day. 

There's also been a plaid Roland Mouret suit, a pinstripe jumpsuit and blazer by Zimmermann, and a white tuxedo jacket and flowing pants by Ralph & Russo.

Firm favorite: Brunello Cucinelli was one of her go-to designers for suits (pictured left on September 11), while she also donned designers like Ralph Lauren (pictured right in April) 

Some flair: Her character is a fan of button-downs, bow ties, and pocket squares

Finishing off her press tour, she added a pink Vivienne Westwood suit, a Brunello Cucinelli suit with rolled-up pants, a black Ralph Lauren tux, an orange Bottega Veneta suit, a floral floral Gucci suit, a denim three-piece suit by Wolk Morais, a Givenchy ensemble, and finally a Brunello Cucinelli ensemble again.  

'I just thought the way [Paul Feig] dressed is so beautiful,' she told Red Carpet Fashion Awards at the New York premiere. 

'I thought that like, I don’t understand why when a woman wears a suit it has to be like unbuttoned to here or no shirt, or a necklace or whatever, that’s also great, but I also think why can’t we also?

'Why can’t it be just as sexy when we’re wearing a tight bowtie and pocket square and floret and watches and rings? I think that if sexuality comes out of that and you’re that covered it’s even more you know powerful.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
