Actress Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds recently celebrated one of her latest achievements in style.
On the night of April 27, 2025, the power couple stepped out hand-in-hand at the premiere of Blake’s new movie Another Simple Favor, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.
For the star-studded event, Lively stunned in a pale mint draped gown featuring intricate geometric cutouts across the bodice. She completed her look with sparkly open-toe heels and dazzling diamond-studded earrings, bracelets, and rings.
Meanwhile, Ryan sported a gray plaid suit paired with a crisp white dress shirt, a dark gray plaid necktie, brown leather dress shoes, and a pale mint pocket square, a subtle nod to Blake’s outfit.

In a short paparazzi-captured clip, the couple was seen posing adorably on the red carpet. They stood close, wrapped in a one-armed embrace, with Blake resting her hand lovingly on Ryan’s chest.
The Gossip Girl alum flashed her signature wide, toothy smile, while Reynolds sported a soft grin on his face.
Blake Subtly Addresses Ongoing Justin Baldoni Lawsuit In Speech
Just three days before their appearance at the movie premiere, Blake and Ryan also attended the annual TIME100 Gala on April 24, 2025, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.
Blake, who was honored as one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people, took the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech expressing her gratitude for the recognition.
Subtly addressing her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin, whom she has accused of sexual harassment on set and defamation, Lively told the crowd,
“Who and what we stand up for, and what we stay silent about, what we monetize versus what we actually live, matters… Our daughters… are not and will likely never be safe at work, at home, in a parking lot in a medical office, online, in any space they inhabit physically, emotionally, professionally… [But] never underestimate a woman’s ability to endure pain”.
The intense legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni kicked off in December 2024, when Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign to damage her reputation.
In response, Baldoni hit back in January 2025 with a staggering $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively and her husband. The case is still ongoing, with the trial scheduled for March 9, 2026.

“We’re not interested in having Blake shoved down our throats”.
As the legal drama rages on, Blake Lively’s every move is under the microscope. Whether on the red carpet or in the courtroom, all eyes are firmly locked on what happens next.
