She opted for a berry-toned, bronzer lip gloss with long lashes that highlighted her blue eyes.
Blake Lively put on an eye-catching display at the 2024 LACMA Arts and Film Gala in Los Angeles over the weekend.
The star accessorized with dazzling hoop earrings.
This year’s event honored Elvis writer and director Baz Luhrmann and sculptor Simone Leigh.
Blake praised Baz as she shared snaps from the evening on her account.
The star, who worked with him on a recent Vogue shoot, gushed in a caption to photos of them together: ‘@bazluhrmann was the first and only signed poster I was lucky enough to have on my wall as a teenager. It’s still on my wall today. Meeting him will always be surreal.
“He’s even more mischievous and magical in real life. He’ll take you by the hand and run away with you from the gala to do an impromptu photo shoot because he gets inspired by everything, your cape and a palm tree is the only thing he needs to see him get excited.” He will enthusiastically play along when you ask him to put on the cape so you can take pictures of him in a pose that has subliminally marked every girl who grew up in the 90s mind.
‘Baz not only serves as your inspiration, your creativity, your possibility, and your unfiltered joy, but it is also the match and lighter fluid for it. He is happier when you are happier. This applies to strangers, friends, colleagues. You can see it in his work, because that’s WHO HE IS.’
‘Congratulations my friend, on your @lacma honours, which of course extend to @catherinemartindesigns. Baz’s partner is everything he does and is. They are inextricably linked in talent, kindness, importance and impact. CM is one of one.
He also congratulated fellow honoree Leigh.
The dress was made of metal plates and encrusted with crystals.
She showed off her toned legs as she posed up a storm in the elaborate look.
And congratulations to the extraordinary @simoneyvetteleigh, an artist who moves with more intention than anyone I’ve ever witnessed. His work is surprising, varied, grandiose, contained, unbridled, full of discipline and abandon. It is deeply emotional and carries transcendental meaning and gravity. She is stunning in every way a person can be.
The party comes a month after Blake’s promotional tour for It Ends With Us, which was mired in negative press; Among the drama was her frosty relationship with her co-star and the film’s director, Justin Baldoni.
Additionally, Blake promoted the film as something to ‘get your friends together and use your flowers’, which seemed insensitive and tone-deaf to some due to the themes of domestic violence present in the film.

Journalist Kjersti Flaa also posted an interview she did in 2016 on her YouTube page.
At the time, Blake was pregnant – and it was public that she was pregnant – and the journalist began the interview by congratulating her on her “little bump”, to which Blake responded and congratulated the journalist on her “little bump” despite the fact. that she was not pregnant.
She never apologized to the journalist.
Another example was an interview Blake did on a local Chicago news show, when the anchor asked her what she should say to a fan who approached her to discuss the main theme of the film, which was domestic violence.
Blake responded sarcastically and asked the host if she should give them her address.
