Blake Lively appears at Gala hours after lawsuit settled

Blake Lively has been conspicuously absent from the Met Gala in recent years as she dealt with a sexual harassment lawsuit against her co-star and director in the 2024 film It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni.

News broke earlier today that they settled two weeks before their case was set to go to trial.

What better way to move on than to book it to the Met Gala in archival Versace from 2006, a simpler time for Lively, to be sure.

She completed the look with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery and a custom Judith Leiber bag decorated with artwork from her four children.
