Blake Lively appeared full of energy during a night out in New York City on Tuesday, turning heads in a dazzling little black dress.
The 39-year-old Gossip Girl star attended an event in Manhattan celebrating jeweler Brent Neale’s new holiday collection, according to E! News.
Lively was reportedly accompanied by friends, while her husband, 50-year-old Ryan Reynolds, was not seen with her.
Our News Outlet has contacted Lively’s representative for comment but has not received a response.
The actress, who recently offered a glimpse of her elaborate beauty routine, embraced old-Hollywood glamour in a revealing black sequined dress.
Her off-the-shoulder minidress was finished with a playful black bow that provided a modest touch across her neckline.

The abbreviated skirt highlighted her toned legs, which ended in transparent Louboutins featuring ankle straps and black-tipped toes.
The It Ends with Us star has been making public appearances following her highly publicized legal dispute with former costar and director Justin Baldoni. She wore her long blonde hair in dramatic waves that fell over her shoulders.
A simple black leather hobo bag completed the look, while dangling earrings and several oversized sparkling rings supplied even more shine.
Lively smiled broadly for photographers outside the event, appearing relaxed as she made her way inside.
Her appearance came after she shared details of the beauty routine she uses to look as though she is in the “first trimester of life.”
Last week, the actress posted a candid video to her Instagram Story showing the nighttime ritual she follows to maintain her “natural beauty.”
In the clip, she appeared to wear red-light therapy headgear over her hair, along with a sheet mask and additional patches arranged across her bare face.
The Gossip Girl alum was bundled in a brown fleece hoodie as she seemingly prepared to settle in for the night.

Lively offered the intimate look at her wind-down routine after the controversy surrounding It Ends With Us and her former director and costar, Justin Baldoni.
“Natural beauty is effortless,” she joked in the caption as she took a deep breath with the mask covering her face.
She added thought bubbles around her face, including one that read: “If I don’t look like I’m in the first trimester of life after this much effort I quit.”
She went on to write: “I miss the 2000s when we just used that handsoap with fish characters on it on our face & called it a day.”
Another thought bubble pointed to the lights in the background, with Lively noting: “My kids’ star projector that I stole is a vibe tho.”
The playful post was set to “Glamorous,” the 2006 hit by Fergie and Ludacris.
Lively, who shares James, 11; Inez, ten; Betty, seven; and Olin, three, with Reynolds, regularly gives followers glimpses of her hair and beauty routines.
In August, she posted a video of herself getting ready in her bathroom before hurrying out the door as she balanced life as a mother and businesswoman.

“The look: no time but need to look cute while ALSO raising children,” wrote Lively, who featured products from her Blake Brown haircare line in the video.
“Moment of truth: bun out after running around the city,” she added, nearly heading out with her pants still unbuttoned.
The post came after Lively and Baldoni became embroiled in a legal dispute that was settled shortly before their trial was scheduled to begin.
Baldoni was ultimately ordered to pay $400,000 toward Lively’s legal fees.
Lively sued Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer, in December 2024.
Shortly before the trial was due to start earlier this year, Lively was awarded just over $400,000 of the $8 million in legal fees she sought in connection with the dispute and his countersuit.
In her complaint, Lively alleged that she experienced sexual harassment and retaliation, claiming Baldoni orchestrated a smear campaign against her after she raised concerns about his conduct on set.
Baldoni denied the harassment allegations and argued that Lively had made the complaints in an effort to gain creative control of the film.
The countersuit was dismissed in June 2025. Two weeks before the scheduled trial date in May of that year, the former costars reached a settlement.
They issued a joint statement saying they “remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments.”
