Blake Lively stepped out in style on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Another Simple Favor in New York City on April 27, just days after being honored on the TIME 100 list.
The actress, 37, looked stunning in a pale mint-colored draped gown, channeling Grecian goddess vibes with geometric cutouts on the bodice. She accessorized with bold earrings, colorful rings, and bracelets while keeping her hair flowing. She was joined by her Another Simple Favor costar Anna Kendrick and director Paul Feig, but it was her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who stole the show as he walked the red carpet beside her.
Their appearance together comes amidst Blake’s ongoing legal battle with It Ends with Us director and costar, Justin Baldoni. The legal drama began in December 2024, when Blake sued Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign. In response, Baldoni countersued Blake, her husband Ryan, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, accusing them of defamation and civil extortion. The countersuit has led to a $400 million legal fight, with a trial set for March 2026.
Despite the heavy legal situation, Blake has been keeping her head high, making public appearances and carrying on with her career. At the recent TIME100 Gala on April 24, she was honored as one of the most influential people of the year. Her speech at the gala was a subtle nod to her ongoing battle, as she spoke about the importance of having a voice, especially as a woman in a challenging world. “What I will speak to separately is the feeling of being a woman who has a voice, today and since I could speak,” she shared, a reflection of her personal journey and the fight many women continue to face.
Ryan Reynolds, who has been supportive throughout the ordeal, recently spoke with PEOPLE about his admiration for Blake’s strength. “I don’t know that I’ve met somebody stronger,” the actor shared. “Her coping mechanisms are just coffee,” he joked, adding that he couldn’t imagine handling everything she’s been through with such grace and strength. Ryan also added a self-deprecating quip about his own role in their relationship, reminding everyone not to rush to judgment in the ongoing legal case.
Blake’s resilience and ability to continue with her professional life, all while handling this tough legal situation, only adds to her incredible strength. With her focus still on her career and family, she remains a shining example of grace under pressure.
