Blake Lively Dazzles at "Another Simple Favor" New York Premiere Amid Busy Schedule

Blake Lively captivated attention at the New York City premiere of "Another Simple Favor," arriving in stunning fashion alongside her husband Ryan Reynolds. The actress showcased multiple outfit changes throughout the evening, beginning with what many described as a "wild lattice naked dress" before changing into pastel ensembles by designer Tamara Ralph for the main event.

The premiere, held on April 27, turned into a star-studded affair with numerous celebrities showing support, including Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Hugh Jackman, and Awkwafina. Lively's co-star Anna Kendrick was also present, with the two posing together despite past rumors of a feud.

In a particularly notable fashion moment, Lively changed into a yellow Sergio Hudson outfit for the after-party—the same ensemble previously worn by Beyoncé. The film, which will be released on Prime Video on May 1, is directed by Paul Feig.

The premiere was a family affair for Lively, who received support from rarely-seen family members including her sisters Lori Lively, 58, and Robyn Lively. This strong family presence came shortly after Lively's controversial speech at the Time100 Gala, where she referenced her mother's assault and ongoing legal issues, which had drawn criticism.

The couple's appearance came after an impressively packed weekend schedule. Just a day earlier, Lively and Reynolds had been spotted at Wrexham FC's promotion-clinching match in North Wales before flying back to New York for the screening.

Body language expert Judi James analyzed the couple's red carpet interactions, suggesting Lively had a "hypnotic effect" over Reynolds, using "directive hand signals" while Reynolds showed "loyal and obedient-looking responses"—though the playful dynamics between the longtime couple were on display when Reynolds was spotted pretending to sign paparazzi cameras at the event.

"Another Simple Favor," the sequel to Lively and Kendrick's 2018 hit, continues to generate significant buzz ahead of its streaming release.
