4th January 2018: Some People Did Not Get Blake Lively's 'No Make-Up' Selfie. At All.

Whilst we totally adored Blake Lively's self-deprecating, New Year's Day Instagram post, some people were less enamoured.

We reported yesterday the both Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds were up to their usual cheeky antics in the New Year, posting embarrassing pictures of themselves and poking fun at one-another.

However, some people did not get the joke memo and thought that Lively's deeply sarcastic #nomakeup selfie was for real. Many took to the comments with zeal posting things like, 'It's NOT a selfie and it's FULL of makeup???', 'Your wearing a full face of makeup. Still gorgeous tho,' and 'Ummm no disrespect but def see lipstick n mascara.'

Obviously plenty of folks were in on the gag, exasperatedly saying, 'It's a JOKE.'

Talk about a face-palm.

3rd January 2018: Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Celebrate 2018 With Hilarious Self-Deprecating Instagram Posts

It may be blowing a storm out there (quite literally) in this bleak January midwinter, but we can always rely on Ryan Reynolds to lift our mood and make us laugh on social media.

The Deadpool actor started the year as he means to go on with an incredible throwback image - we're guessing, circa 1996? - in which he is sporting some serious '90s boyband, bleach blond curtains.

He added the self-deprecating caption: 'Happy New Year, everybody! The point is, I used to style my hair with a blowtorch.'

Of course he was not about to be outdone by wife Blake Lively, who is also proving herself a comedy genius on Instagram with her self-effacing captions.

The actress was celebrating the end of 2017 with a glamorous snap of herself dating back to 2007, along with the message: 'Just a little #makeupfree selfie to round out the year. #2007 #aunaturale.'

And when these two aren't poking fun at themselves, they're roasting each other mercilessly online instead, which is what makes them arguably one the best celebrity couples ever.

When Lively was recently out in Dublin looking nothing like Blake Lively while shooting her new film The Rhythm Section, Reynolds couldn't resist sharing the unflattering photo on Instagram, and adding the savage hashtag: '#nofilter.'

But he was really just getting his own back on the Gossip Girl star after she had wished him a very Happy Birthday with this...

And let us not forget Reynolds's attempts at baking cookies.

Happy New Year right back at you, Ryan...
