Blake Lively beams on red carpet after legal victory over Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively appeared overjoyed while stepping out for the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner following her major legal victory over Justin Baldoni.
The “Gossip Girl” alum beamed for photographers in a white crochet dress while walking the red carpet in New York City on Monday night.
She turned heads with a vintage denim jacket draped over her shoulders.
Lively, 37, accessorized with Christian Louboutin pumps and a Chanel scarab purse, along with a Chanel ring and earrings.
The actress’ appearance came after Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against her and Ryan Reynolds earlier on Monday, per court documents obtained by Page Six.
Liman also tossed the “Jane the Virgin” alum’s $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for reporting on Lively’s initial sexual harassment complaint in December 2024.
Liman wrote that Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, “have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged.”
According to Liman, Baldoni “alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the ‘Times’ made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.”
However, “the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the ‘Times’ would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.”
Lively’s attorneys told Page Six that they will seek “attorneys’ fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni” for his “abusive litigation.”
The “Another Simple Favor” star also spoke out about the ruling via her Instagram Story, saying she’s “more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman’s right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.”
The actress added, “Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.
“While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back.”
Baldoni’s legal team has yet to address the ruling.
The actor’s legal battle with Lively began late last year when she filed a complaint against her “It Ends With Us” co-star/director, accusing him of sexual harassment on set of their 2024 drama.
The “Shallows” star also claimed Baldoni attempted to ruin her reputation by coordinating a smear campaign.
Baldoni, however, denied the allegations and filed his countersuit in January.
