You know you love Blake Lively at the Met Gala.
That’s why the Gossip Girl alum was on the guest list at this year’s fashion fundraiser, contrary to rumors that she had paid her way into New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4. (Click here to see all the celebrity arrivals.)
A source with knowledge told E! News Blake was an invited guest of Vogue and Anna Wintour, who co-chaired the exclusive event alongside Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.Â
Nonetheless, Blake’s appearance at the star-studded bash was a surprise to some. After all, the 38-year-old announced that she had reached a settlement deal in her yearlong legal battle against It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni just hours before hitting the red carpet.
“The end product—the movie It Ends With Us—is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,” her legal team and Justin’s counsel said in a joint statement to NBC News. “Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors—and all survivors—is a goal that we stand behind.”
