Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni reach settlement in 'It Ends With Us' case
- On Monday, May 4, 2026, actress Blake Lively made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Met Gala in New York City, wearing a 2006 archival Versace gown in pastel watercolor tones.
- Hours before her appearance, Lively and co-star Justin Baldoni reached a settlement in their nearly two-year legal battle over the 2024 film It Ends With Us, which had been scheduled for trial.
- Complementing her gown, Lively carried a bedazzled Judith Leiber handbag featuring artwork from her four children—James, Inez, Betty, and Olin—and wore custom Lorraine Schwartz jewelry including a 30-carat yellow diamond ring.
- A Met Gala standout since 2008, Lively famously does not work with a stylist, describing her dress as "Met-ified" with an added train to match the "Costume Art" theme.
- The settlement brings closure to the dispute involving allegations of harassment and retaliation, as Lively and Baldoni released a joint statement expressing pride in It Ends With Us and commitment to safe working environments.
