Blake Lively payed tribute to "ultimate queen" Britney Spears with a throwback Versace look for the premiere of It Ends With Us on Tuesday (August 6).

The Gossip Girl alum dazzled in the same stunning pink, green, and purple bejeweled gown that Spears made iconic during Milan Fashion Week in 2002 (per Billboard), and shared a pic of the "...Baby One More Time" artist slaying in the dress to her Instagram Story.

"Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment, or of years, that you made us want to shine and inspire awe, with strength and joy and immensely hard work. Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories."

Lively spoke to People on the red carpet ahead of the premiere and was sure to dote on Spears and the iconic gown, mentioning that she thinks it should be in The Smithsonian or The Met, and that she feels so grateful to wear it.

In addition to paying homage to Spears' style amid the highly-anticipated premiere, Lively also wore her hair similar to how the songstress styled hers as part of the look over two decades ago. This is not the first time that Lively has attempted to recreate one of Spears' legendary looks. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants standout sported an all-denim fit during a night out with her co-stars in July, coining the fit, "It's Britney B****."

Spears has yet to publicly comment on Lively's sweet tribute as fans ready for the release of It Ends With Us, out August 9th!
