Blake Lively has spoken out following the devastating news of Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing, sharing a heartfelt tribute to her former co-star and friend.
In an emotional Instagram post, Lively reflected on their time together, calling Michelle “electricity”, someone who could light up a room the second she walked in.
The two actresses shared the screen on “Gossip Girl”, but their connection went beyond work. Lively described Trachtenberg as someone who gave 200% to everything she did, whether it was a role, a friendship, or just a random moment on set. “She was just one of those people you couldn’t ignore,” Lively wrote. “She was bold, she was funny, and she had the biggest heart.”
Lively recalled how Michelle always wore caramel-scented lip gloss during filming, just to make things feel warm and inviting for those around her. It was a small but perfectly ‘Michelle’ kind of detail, thoughtful, quirky, and totally unforgettable. “She just cared about the work, about the people, about the little things,” Lively shared.
Michelle’s unexpected passing has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, with former co-stars and friends coming forward to share their grief. Lively, clearly heartbroken, urged people to hold their loved ones close and appreciate every moment. “Life is fragile,” she reminded everyone. “Love the ones you love. And never forget the ones who made your world a little brighter.”
Michelle Trachtenberg may be gone, but as Lively’s tribute shows, her impact will never fade. She was more than just a talented actress, she was a presence, a light, and a friend who made life a little sweeter for everyone who knew her.
