Blake Lively appeared overjoyed while stepping out for the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner following her major legal victory over Justin Baldoni.
The āGossip Girlā 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 actressā appearance came after Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoniās $400 million lawsuit against her and Ryan Reynolds earlier on Monday, per court documents obtained by Page Six.
Liman also tossed the āJane the Virginā alumās $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for reporting on Livelyās initial sexual harassment complaint in December 2024.
Liman wrote that Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, āhave not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged.ā
According to Liman, Baldoni āalleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that theĀ āTimesāĀ made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.ā
However, āthe Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or theĀ āTimesāĀ 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.ā
Livelyās attorneys told Page Six that they will seek āattorneysā fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoniā for his āabusive litigation.ā
The āAnother Simple Favorā star also spoke out about the ruling via her Instagram Story, saying sheās āmore resolved than ever to continue to stand for every womanās right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.ā
The actress added, āLike so many others, Iāve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.
āWhile the suit against me was defeated, so many donāt have the resources to fight back.ā
Baldoniās legal team has yet to address the ruling.
The actorās legal battle with Lively began late last year when she filed a complaint against her āIt Ends With Usā co-star/director, accusing him of sexual harassment on set of their 2024 drama.
The āShallowsā 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.
