New York City, NY – Hollywood star Blake Lively, known for her role in “Gossip Girl,” was spotted at the Time100 gala in a stunning fuchsia Zuhair Murad off-the-shoulder gown. The actress, who was recognized as one of the “Most Influential People in the World” in this year’s Time100 list, was commended for her support of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, an organization dedicated to combating racial injustice.
Lively’s red carpet look at the prestigious event included accessories such as Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings, cuffs, and jade rings. With her trademark wavy blond hair styled in a classic old Hollywood fashion and peach-colored makeup, the actress radiated glamour as she arrived with her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, and her mother Elaine Lively.
Other notable honorees at the event included tennis champion Serena Williams, rapper Snoop Dogg, and comedian Nikki Glaser. Reynolds and Meghan Markle were among the speakers at the Time100 Summit held in conjunction with the gala.
Expressing her gratitude for being included in this year’s list, Lively took to Instagram to share her excitement. In her post, the actress thanked writer Sherrilyn Ifill for the Time spotlight and described the accolade as one of the most significant moments of her life.
Despite receiving praise from friends and supporters, some critics questioned Lively’s spot on the list, particularly in light of her ongoing legal dispute with “It Ends with Us” co-star Justin Baldoni. The announcement of the influential individuals featured in the Time100 list sparked surprise among many, given the diverse range of personalities recognized, including Lively alongside stars like Moore and Snoop Dogg.
