On April 21, 2025, in her recent YouTube commentary video, Kjersti Flaa discussed the relationship between actor Blake Lively and jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, relating it to Lorraine's recent comment on Lively's Instagram post.
Lorraine Schwartz is a world-renowned jewelry designer known for her exquisite creations. Her jewelry has been worn by a wide range of celebrities, including Beyoncé, the Kardashians, and Taylor Swift. Among these celebrities, one of her major clients and friends is Blake Lively.
Earlier this week, Lorraine commented on Lively's Instagram post celebrating her inclusion in TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2025. Lorraine Schwartz wrote:
"So Well deserved! Love you Blake and so proud to be your friend."
However, Kjersti Flaa showed her skepticism towards this comment, stating:
"I wonder how much Lorraine Schwartz pays for this friendship because I'm sure it's not free to dress up Blake Lively like that."
Flaa further commented on Blake's constant appearance in Lorraine Schwartz's jewelry:
"I've seen her wearing half a million dollar Lorraine Schwartz, and she was pushing it so hard during the It Ends With Us like it was all about her jewelry and how much she loves it all the time, so I'm sure Lorraine Schwartz loves Blake Lively."
The Gossip Girl alum has worn Lorrain's jewelry on several occasions, including in her recent film It Ends with Us. According to People magazine, Blake went through her closet to help costume designer Eric Daman, and one of the recurring features in the film was her jewelry collection.
Kjersti Flaa questions the silence on Blake Lively's post
Flaa continued her commentary by reading a Reddit thread noting the silence of several celebrities on Lively's gratitude-filled Instagram post. The Reddit post reported that there has been no involvement from It Ends With Us co-stars Brandon Sklenar and Jenny Slate, including Hugh Jackman, a friend of Ryan Reynolds.
Quite shockingly, Blake's friends, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid, have not interacted with her post, nor has her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
The Reddit thread also highlighted the involvement of other celebrity friends, including fellow Gossip Girl alums Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick, as well as Another Simple Favor co-star Michele Morrone.
