Blake Lively was in a nostalgic mood during the 2019 Emmys on Sunday night. At least, that’s what we’re guessing based on the throwback post she shared with her Instagram followers late in the awards show.
Blake’s Emmys post — captioned “XOXO” with “X”s and hearts — took us on a trip back in time to 2009, when the then-Gossip Girl actor attended the Emmys with her co-star, Leighton Meester. In not one but two glorious photos from that night, Blake reminded us just how gorgeous she and Leighton looked. Blake and Leighton weren’t just attendees that year, either. In addition to showing up and serving Gossip Girl realness on the red carpet, the two women also had the honor of presenting for Best Directing for a Comedy Series that year, too.
Fans were all about the moment in the Instagram comments — and Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds even got in on the action, joking, “I can’t believe how much I’ve changed.”
The trip down memory lane courtesy of Blake comes just a few months after the news that a Gossip Girl reboot has been set to premiere on the upcoming streaming service HBO Max, which will launch in 2020. Blake has been approached to return, per US Weekly‘s July report and Leighton has expressed interest in appearing in a reboot of the show, although it’s still unclear if any of the original show’s alums will be called on for this new version.
Even if we don’t get an actual Blair and Serena reunion on the Gossip Girl reboot, this vital throwback pic from Blake is still good enough for us.
