Blake Lively Arrives in a White Dress With a Thigh-High Leg Slit at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards
Blake Lively made a triumphant comeback to the spotlight at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday, after worrying her career was ‘finished’ earlier this year.
The 37-year-old actress, who was accused of ‘bullying’ conduct leading up to the release of her film It Ends With Us in August, attended the event alongside Kylie Jenner, Katie Holmes, and Ciara.
The annual celebrations were held at the American Museum of Natural History, with designers like Marc Jacobs being recognized on the big night.
Lively looked stunning in a white dress with ruched detailing and a thigh-high split on the left side.
For a dazzling look, the Gossip Girl star donned closed-toe, shimmering gold and silver shoes.
She put a white blazer over her shoulders to match the color pattern of the ensemble and stay warm in the chilly fall weather.
Lively’s golden hair was split to the side and spilled down beyond her shoulders in lovely waves.
The celebrity adorned her left wrist with a stunning silver necklace, matching earrings, and a bracelet.
Blake applied a layer of mascara to her lashes and a shimmering shadow around her eyes.
Her cheekbones were adorned with a subtle blush and dewy highlighter, while her lips were painted with a glossy, nude tint.
While on the red carpet, the beauty smiled as she was escorted by Michael Kors, who received the Positive Change Award.
The designer dressed for the event in a traditional black suit, a simple shirt, and elegant shoes. He completed his look with a pair of black sunglasses.
Lively was also seen arriving at the museum in New York, greeting admirers outside as she walked up the steps.
Blake’s recent red carpet appearance comes after she was entangled in the It Ends With Us turmoil and ‘bullying’ allegations.
She is ‘certainly upset by the vitriol she is getting and is trying not to let it impact her, but it is.’
‘She believed this was her opportunity to shine, but she now sees it as the end of her career. She fears that no one would want to work with her after this.
According to the insider, ‘She truly wants to continue producing, directing, and acting, but she understands she needs to take a step back for a minute to rethink the future.’
