Blake Lively rocks strapless gown for date night with Ryan Reynolds at Time100 gala

Blake Lively has made a rare red carpet appearance amid her ongoing legal troubles, wearing a head-turning gown at a glitzy New York event.

Spotted at the Time100 gala.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, 37, made an appearance on the red carpet at the annual event in New York City, looking chic in a fuchsia Zuhair Murad off-the-shoulder gown.

The actress, who was honoured as one of the “Most Influential People in the World” in this year’s Time100 list, was highlighted for contributing to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which fights racial injustice.

On the accessories front, Lively oozed glamour in Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings, cuffs and jade rings.

She styled her trademark wavy blond hair in an old Hollywood look while stunning in peach-coloured makeup.

The Blake Brown Beauty founder was accompanied by her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, 48, who wore a black suit and bow tie, and mum, Elaine Lively, who wore a sparkly dress.

Other honorees at the event included Serena Williams, Snoop Dogg and Nikki Glaser, with others, including Reynolds and Meghan Markle, speaking at the Time100 Summit on Wednesday.

Lively expressed her enthusiasm about scoring a spot on this year’s list via an Instagram post last week.

“It’s an honour to be acknowledged on the @time100 list for 2025,” the A-lister wrote in the caption.

“To be written about by the great @sherrilynifill is not something I take lightly,” she added, referring to the writer of her Time spotlight, which was written by Sherrilyn Ifill.

Elsewhere in the caption, Lively described the accolade as one of the most “surreal and meaningful moments” of her life.

“My 10 year old self is pretty blown away right now.” Lively concluded.

Friends seem to think the honour was much deserved. Paul Feig, the director of A Simple Favor, wrote, “This is the Blake I know too. Love you, my friend.”

However, others weren’t as thrilled by her making the list, especially amid her drama-filled legal battle with It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni.

After the magazine revealed this year’s most influential people, many were surprised to see her name included with other stars like Moore and Snoop Dogg.
