“Today’s mood: The ultimate queen who made us all want to sparkle and write and share our stories,” Blake wrote. “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. So excited about your biopic and all you have to come.”

Britney previously wore the dress while attending a Versace fashion show in October 2002 in Milan, Italy.

Blake chose Britney‘s song “Everytime” to be featured in It Ends With Us and she included the singer in her list of “thank you’s” at the end of the credits.
