Britney Spears' impact is unmatched, especially when it comes to fashion. Even Blake Lively has been known to take the occasional cue from the Princess of Pop.
Over seven years ago, the actor channeled Spears on the red carpet by showing off her bra in a glamorous look that seemed tailor-made for an epic awards show performance. (Only Lively didn't perform that night, obviously, but she left a major winner.)
Blake's Britney-Inspired LookAt the 2017 People's Choice Awards, Lively wore a sparkly black fringe Elie Saab dress that looked amazing on stage when she won Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress, beating out Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Emily Blunt.
Her glittery black bra underneath gave off major rockstar vibes, as did her accessories. She wore oversized diamond-shaped earrings, strappy black heels with gold and silver studs, and a black leather clutch with a silver crystal clasp.

Britney's Bra-Exposing LooksLively's look seems inspired by Spears' long-sleeved LBD at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, where she famously performed with a snake. Her little black dress had lacy see-through fabric that showed off her matching black bra and underwear.

Almost 15 years later, Spears did it again (pun intended) at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, where she received the Music Icon award. The Grammy winner exposed her lingerie on the red carpet in a sheer mini-dress, complete with gem patterns, a sheer lacy train, and fishnet boots that really drive the coquette-ish look home.

Oops!... She Did It AgainLike Spears, Lively embraced the exposed bra trend once again. On June 14, the actor attended a Book Bonanza event in Texas, wearing a button-up black dress with sheer sleeves. While the bottom half was filled with colorful floral embroidery, her collar was left unbuttoned so her satin bra could be part of the look.

Clearly, the legacy of Spears' iconic and daring looks carries on today.
