Blake Lively delivered an emotional speech at the Time100 Gala, reflecting on trauma and the importance of women's voices. While not directly naming Justin Baldoni, she alluded to their ongoing legal battle amidst discussions of power and responsibility.

On May 2, 2022, Lively walked the actual Met Steps for the Costume Exhibit's yearly soiree. Honoring the exhibit's theme "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," the actor arrived dressed as a high-fashion Lady Liberty. She wore a blue-green gown, inspired by the statue's rusted sheen, then quick-changed into a dazzling copper-colored look.
