Lili Reinhart is keeping up with her self-imposed lore of paying tribute to different rom-com stars to promote her new movie, “The Love Hypothesis.”
Over the weekend, the 29-year-old actress honored Kate Hudson by channeling her iconic character’s look from the 2003 film “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”
Reinhart recently reflected on a range of topics, including turning 30 soon and her health struggles, saying “it’s been a wild decade” for her.
Lili Reinhart reminded fans of a classic movie moment as she paid tribute to Kate Hudson’s iconic Andie Anderson look in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”
The “Riverdale” actress took to Instagram to share a carousel in which she wore a butter-yellow dress as a direct nod to the famous yellow silk gown Hudson wore in the 2003 romantic comedy.
She paired the post with the 2015 remastering of Carly Simon’s classic “You’re So Vain,” which fans would remember from the iconic gala scene where Hudson’s character and Benjamin Barry, played by Matthew McConaughey, famously took over a microphone on stage and aggressively serenaded each other with the original version of the song.
She then quoted the song lyrics in the caption, writing, “You probably think this song is about you,” before adding that she was “paying homage” to Hudson’s character.
Reinhart’s Dress Is A Caché Dupe Of The Original
4Reinhart took the photos at a hotel in Brazil as she wraps up the South American press junket for her new film “The Love Hypothesis.”
Her dress is said to be a 2000s Caché dupe of the original, which was made for Hudson by Carolina Herrera and the film’s costume designer, Karen Patch.
Vanity Fair reported that the yellow hue of the original dress was made to match the Isadora diamond necklace Hudson’s character wore to film the scene.
The diamond, which Hudson almost accidentally took home, was reportedly worth $5 million and had its own security guard while she filmed with it.
Lili Reinhart Wants Fans To Feel The Book Come To Life
4More tributes are to be expected, as Reinhart’s stylist, Ib Abdel Nasser, revealed that she’ll be honoring a slew of female rom-com stars during press rounds for “The Love Hypothesis.”
“Lili will be paying homage to the leading ladies of the Golden Age of rom-coms and romance films throughout the press tour, and we wanted to start off with something super iconic for Brazil since they’re some of the most passionate and dedicated fans!” he said.
The upcoming film is also an adaptation of a book by Ali Hazelwood, and to bring it to life, Reinhart explained that she sought to evoke much the same feelings readers felt while reading.
“For book-to-screen adaptations, I think what people are really looking for is not a play-by-play of the book, but rather the feeling that the book elicits for the readers,” she previously told ELLE. “People want to feel, when they’re watching your movie, how they felt when they were reading the book. That’s giggling, and kicking their feet, and blushing for the other person, and getting excited to watch two people fall in love. And I think we really did that.”
Reinhart Almost Never Featured In The Adaptation
4The book is a contemporary romance novel about an impulsive fake-dating arrangement between a Stanford Ph.D. student and a strict young professor.
In a recent wide-ranging interview with Cosmopolitan, Reinhart revealed she was at a crossroads and almost didn’t agree to feature in the book adaptation after starring in similar projects.
“I was afraid that if I did either a horror movie or a romcom, I was going to be pigeonholed into those two things,” she explained.
However, she eventually agreed after her team convinced her she was wrong.
“I pushed it away,” she said of the upcoming movie. “Then I read it on my way to the Venice Film Festival. It was juicy and fun, and I was like, ‘Okay, I understand why people love this book, the charm it has and the slow burn between these two people who are falling in love.’”
Lili Reinhart Reflects On Her Health Struggles
4Over the last couple of years, the “American Sweatshop” actress has left fans sad with her different health struggles, including alopecia, endometriosis, and an interstitial cystitis diagnosis, which has no cure.
However, she had seemingly gone a long period enduring the condition without knowing what was wrong with her.
In an interview with the news outlet, she admitted the last decade has been really difficult for her, especially when it comes to her health.
“I had these underlying issues that I didn’t know about. Now I’ve been diagnosed; I know that I have inflammatory disorders,” she said. “It makes sense that I was super inflamed in my body. My face was a completely different shape. I had ‘moon face,’ and my cortisol was off the charts. I felt so deeply out of control of my own body.”
