On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Blake Lively graced the red carpet of the 2025 TIME100 Gala in her flowing blush pink gown. Lively chose a gown from Zuhair Murad's spring-summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The strapless dress featured an off-shoulder design with a draped, boned corset that elegantly transitioned into a soft fishtail and a flowing train at the back.
She complemented her look with Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings, jade rings, and matching emerald cuffs. The actress styled her hair in a side part with Hollywood curls, and for her makeup, she opted for a fresh blush look.
Meanwhile, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wore an all-black classic tuxedo with a shawl collar and a white formal shirt underneath. Reynolds chose the finest bow and kept his hair in signature waves.
Blake Lively's mother, Willie Elaine McAlpin, also graced the red carpet alongside her daughter and son-in-law. Elaine wore a sparkling black gown with net detailing around the shoulders and sleeves. She styled her hair in a middle part with loose curls and opted for minimal makeup to complete her look.
On April 17, 2025, after being named on TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People list, Blake Lively posted on her Instagram account to reflect on the acknowledgment.
In the post, Lively mentioned Sherrilyn Ifill, a civil rights lawyer, noting that Ifill plays a "surreal" role in her life concerning the honor she received from TIME magazine. Additionally, she expressed gratitude to the magazine for acknowledging her work and efforts—
"It’s an honor to be acknowledged on the @time 100 list for 2025🤍🙏🤍 To be written about by the great @sherrilynifill is not something I take lightly... Thank you @time And thank you @sherrilynifill for one of the most surreal and meaningful moments of my life in this honor. My 10 year old self is pretty blown away right now. 🎈🥹✨," Lively wrote.
Blake Lively is currently embroiled in a legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging that she had been s*xually harassed during the production of the film.
The New York Times also covered the story, prompting Baldoni to file a $300 million lawsuit against the outlet, claiming that it published a defaming and false article.
The legal proceedings have been ongoing since then, with witnesses from both sides continuing to provide their testimonies. At this point, it remains unclear how the case will progress, and no additional updates have been released.
