But, in case you missed it, actress Blake Lively expertly shut down a reporter last weekend when the pointless, sexist question was put to her.

Lively was being honoured at Variety's Power of Women event for her work with the Child Rescue Coalition against child sex trafficking and pornography. And yet she was being asked about what was wearing.
