Blake Lively made a splash at the 2026 Met Gala on the same day she settled her high-profile legal battle with Justin Baldoni. The actress arrived in high spirits and happily posed on the red carpet this past Monday, May 4. Lively wowed everyone in her archival 2006 Versace gown, inspired, according to the designers, by “sunrise, sunset, and watercolor.” She complemented the multicolored dress with a Judith Leiber handbag adorned with patterns from her four children. She completed the look with pink sapphire drop earrings.

Lively’s appearance at the star-studded event came just hours after she and Baldoni announced the end of their bitter legal battle.

The end result, the film ‘It Ends With Us,’ is a source of pride for all of us who worked to bring it to life,” the two parties said in a joint statement obtained by Page Six. “Raising awareness and making a meaningful impact in the lives of victims of domestic violence—and everyone who has experienced it—is a goal we support. We acknowledge that this process has presented certain difficulties and believe that the concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.

Both parties added that they “remain firmly committed to creating a work environment free of disruption and unproductive conditions” and expressed “their sincere hope that this will bring an end to the conflict and allow all participants to move forward constructively and peacefully, including in a respectful online environment.”
