Blake Lively is happy to be a “crown straightener.”

On Wednesday, July 10, the actress, 36, shared a carousel of behind-the-scenes snaps of herself at the screening of her upcoming movie It Ends with Us, which is based on the 2016 book of the same name.

In the photos, Lively was seen pictured helping costar Isabela Ferrer with her outfit, as well as It Ends with Us book author Colleen Hoover — and she had some emotional words to say about how much it means to her to help other women.

“I got maybe the best compliment of my life after this weekend. Someone on social called me a ‘crown straightener,’ ” Lively’s caption read as she tied Hoover’s pink dress in a bathroom.

“ ‘A woman going around straightening all the women’s crowns around her.’ It meant so much to me because it’s those invisible things people see that make us all feel best," she added.

“I learned that we’re all sparkling leaders 👑, stronger together, from ALL the women in my life, blood and chosen,” the A Simple Favor star continued in her caption. “I am surrounded by crown straighteners. This weekend alone was packed with that empowering female energy.”
