Blake Lively dazzles in a sheer pearl-embellished dress and satin bodysuit while on the set of the anticipated sequel A Simple Favor 2 in Rome

Blake Lively put on a head-turning display as she filmed scenes for the upcoming sequel, A Simple Favor 2, in Rome on Thursday. 

The Gossip Girl alum, 36 - who has previously glammed up while on set of the project - could be seen stepping back into her character of Emily Nelson. 

The mother-of-four wowed in a halter-styled, sheer dress that contained shimmering, pearl-embellished details as well as a tasseled fringe on the bottom hem for an elegant flare.

Underneath, the star donned a fitted, white satin bodysuit to coincide with the color scheme of the look. 

Lively slipped into a pair of closed-toed, white pumps and allowed her blonde locks to effortlessly flow down past her shoulders in light waves.

She opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and added flashy gold bracelets on her right wrist as well as chunky rings on each of her hands. 

Blake's makeup was classically done, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a smoky shadow around her eyes. 

A warm blush was added to better accentuate her cheekbones, while a nude-colored tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. 

The actress was seen filming a few scenes at night in the Italian city and at one point, was spotted holding a crystal champagne glass in her hand. 

In between takes, Lively sat down on the edge of a fountain and shared a laugh as she conversed with another individual who joined her on the set. 

The wife of Ryan Reynolds could be seen flashing a cheerful smile before throwing a hand to cover her mouth during the lighthearted exchange. 

Later in the night, she donned a soft, white robe to help keep her warm in the cooler temperatures. She seemingly talked to director Paul Feig during downtime on the set, with her hair being tossed up into a loose bun. 

A few days earlier on Tuesday, Lively was also seen on set while sporting a different ensemble that comprised of a white gown that was made of both lace and tulle material.

Blake easily draped a white blazer over her shoulders that also contained a small, glittering silver brooch on the left lapel. 

She opted for a pair of off-white, heeled boots to complete the overall look while her long hair was partially pulled back away from her face and styled into a half up do. 

The star was spotted walking down concrete steps while filming a separate scene in the city of Rome. 

The project is a direct sequel to the 2018 movie, A Simple Favor, which is based on the novel of the same name written by Darcey Bell. 

Upon its release in theaters, the film was a box office success and raked in around $97 million on a $20 million budget. 

In the upcoming sequel, Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, Henry Golding and Andrew Rannells will reprise their roles from the first film. 

New cast members that have also joined the project include Alex Newell, Michele Morrone and Allison Janney. 

With the movie still in its production stages, a set release date for A Simple Favor 2 has yet to be announced.

Filmmaker Paul Feig also directed the first film and opened up to Variety earlier this month about creating a sequel to the 2018 movie. 

He opened up about the film reaching a top slot on Netflix's Most Watched list at the time. 'I sent it to all my main cast saying, "Hey, we're doing the right thing here."' 

'I'm thrilled. It makes me so happy because this really is one of my favorite movies. It's done well in the theaters, but I always feel so many people haven't seen it yet so now they do get to see it.' 

Feig additionally discussed facing pressure on developing the sequel - which is also his first. 

'It's a lot because also if you look at my work, I've never done a sequel before just for that very reason. I've always tried to stay away from it but this one I just loved these characters and always felt we can revisit them.' 

Paul is also known for directing other films such as Bridesmaids (2011) and Ghostbusters (2016), while also creating the comedy series: Freaks And Geeks. 

He revealed that when filming was close to begin, the original script was thrown out and changed. 'We threw out the original draft that was going to get made.' 

'We were like, "As much as we like what we have here, we don't think this is what the people who really loved the first movie are going to 100 percent want."'

Filmmaker Paul Feig also directed the first film and opened up to Variety earlier this month about creating a sequel to the 2018 movie; seen in 2022 in Corona del Mar

He added, 'We've been working on it for two and half years now, almost three, developing it and it getting it right.' 

Anna Kendrick - who is stepping back into the shoes of her character Stephanie - has also previously gushed about the sequel. 

The Pitch Perfect star told Entertainment Weekly in 2022, 'I can't wait to revisit the hilarious, deeply dark inner world of Stephanie Smothers, and reunite Stephanie and Emily under the watchful and stylish eye of the glorious Paul Feig.' 

Henry Golding has also given a behind-the-scenes sneak peak in regards to the production. Last month in April, Blake was seen donning a lavish wedding dress as she filmed a scene with actor, Michele Morrone. 

The Crazy Rich Asians actor revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the dress had actually been made of 'latex.' 

'I was there, too! But I didn't get any photos,' he said, referencing to the wedding scene, and added that her ensemble was 'a latex wedding gown. Maybe I gave away too much!' 

Along with filming A Simple Favor 2, Blake has been keeping busy and recently attended BFF Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Madrid with her three daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, as well as husband Ryan Reynolds. 

While on stage, the Grammy winner notably gave a shout out to the actress's daughters. At one point while playing the guitar, she told the audience, 'I have to say that on Folklore, some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez and Betty'; seen earlier this month in Madrid
