Blake Lively made a simple appearance at the world premiere of her upcoming movie “Another Simple Favor” at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas. The actress looked unbothered amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director from the first film, “A Simple Favor.” Lively wore a beautiful green dress and greeted fans before hitting the red carpet, showing a cheerful demeanor at only her second public appearance since the legal dispute began.
Director Paul Feig praised Lively as a dream to work with, emphasizing her professionalism and collaborative nature on set. Lively’s appearance at the festival follows a recent request to shield text messages with high-profile friends from Baldoni and his publicists. The legal battle began after Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, leading to a series of lawsuits and countersuits. A trial is scheduled for March 2026.
Despite the ongoing legal issues, Lively’s appearance at SXSW showcased her dedication to promoting her film and engaging with fans. The actress’ positive attitude and stunning outfit made a statement on the red carpet, drawing attention from the press and attendees. As she navigates the challenges of the legal battle, Lively continues to show her commitment to her work and her fans.
