High praise! Blake Lively can slay a red carpet like nobody’;s business — except maybe Beyonce‘s. Asked about the Gossip Girl star’;s flawless style in an interview with AOL Build this week, hubby Ryan Reynolds compared his love to the always-fierce “Pretty Hurts” singer.
“My wife knows how to work a red carpet, I’;ll say that. Yeah, she might be the Beyonce of red carpets,” the Self/less actor joked of Lively, 27, with whom he has an infant daughter, James.

“She’;s turned that into an athletic event,” he added. “I see what goes into that…real science. It’;s unbelievable. You guys see the finished product, I see the totally destroyed closet, bedroom, and kitchen by the time she walks out the door. So, yeah, I don’;t even know how shoes got in the freezer. It’;s like that, it’;s seriously nuts. There’;s kung fu involved, it’;s really intense.”

Beyonce, of course, has slayed more than a few red carpets of her own, so one could say that she herself is the Beyonce of red carpets. But Reynolds only brought her up because an audience member asked a two-part question: 1) “How does it feel to have a wife who literally slays it on the red carpet with whatever outfit she has on?” And 2) “What is your opinion on Beyonce?”

For the record, he’;s a fan. “Beyonce, she’;s the Michael Jordan of music to me,” the Voices actor quipped. “I’;ve seen 4 of her shows, and that’;s what comes to mind every time. She’;s incomparable. I guess you’;d just say she’;s Beyonce. You can’;t really say ‘She’;s the this of the that,’; that terrible thing that everybody does. But honestly, she’;s the Michael Jackson of Beyonce.”

Lively shares his admiration for the star. The Preserve founder even made Bey a beehive-shaped cake — complete with chocolate bees! — for her 33rd birthday.
