Her hair was elegantly styled into an updo with several white flowers tucked into her bun.
A Simple Favor 2 is the sequel to the 2018 dark comedy led by Paul Feig, who returns to direct the next chapter.
According to a synopsis, A Simple Favor 2 sees the return of Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) as they head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.
“Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to answer a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from Marina Grande to Capri town square,” Variety revealed.
Kendric is excited about the sequel, saying that Stephanie has “become a little more savvy to her,” but “she’s still Stephanie at the end of the day,” per E! News.
“I’ve actually read the script now,” the actress told the magazine, “and it’s so good.”
Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho and Kelly McCormack, all reprising their roles from the first installment.

Amazon MGM Studios announced last month that the sequel, which will be co-produced by Lions Gate, plans to begin filming this spring and will stream on Prime Video.
The original film, A Simple Favor, was released in 2018 and was based on the Darcey Bell book of the same name.
It followed quirky single mom vlogger Stephanie, who is a little lonely as she tries to fit into her Connecticut community.
She has a feeling that something is missing in her life, but then befriends another mother – Emily, a beautiful woman who lives in a modern mansion, has an incredible job and a great sense of fashion.
But then Emily disappears and Stephanie starts looking at her past, which is very suspicious.
The film grossed nearly $100 million worldwide at the box office for Lionsgate, and reviews were mostly positive.

Announcing the sequel in 2022, Anna said Weekly entertainment: ‘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.’
Director Feig also praised the original film as he teased what was to come in the sequel.
“Simple Favor is one of my favorite movies I’ve ever made, and it’s all because of Jessica Sharzer’s amazing writing and our amazing, fun cast, led by my brilliant heroes Anna and Blake,” he told EW. ‘Expect more stylish turns than Ralph Lauren making pretzels while driving down Lombard Street’
