Blake Lively’s Post-Met Gala 2026 Appearance Includes a Super-Rare, Glowing No-Makeup Selfie
Right after the 2026 Met Gala, where Blake Lively made a surprise appearance in a pastel Versace gown, mere hours after her and Justin Baldoni’s trial came to an end. And now, she’s showing everyone she’s in her radiant era.
In case you missed it, on May 5, her husband Ryan Reynolds shared a super-rare selfie of them to his Instagram story, which was obtained by InStyle.
In the photo, we see her looking as radiant as can be as she smiles without any makeup or her hair done. From the Met Gala glam to everyday radiance, Lively knows how to celebrate!
If you need a recap on the It Ends With Us legal drama, we totally understand. There were rumors of a rift between Lively and her co-star Baldoni from the start. However, it all hit the fan when Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign in a civil suit back in Dec 2024, which The New York Times wrote about.
Days later, Baldoni filed a libel suit against The New York Times, and the following month, he filed a civil suit against Lively and her husband for defamation. After this, multiple civil suits were filed, and one of them drew Taylor Swift into the drama. Then, multiple of the suits were dismissed, and on June 9, 2025, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni’s entire suit.
Then, in May 2026, a confidential settlement was reached, just weeks before a scheduled trial. Now, Lively is back to living her best life!
