Blake Lively is in celebration mode!
A few hours after a federal judge dismissed Justin Baldoni’s defamation countersuit against Lively, she already hit the town in a star-studded event. On the night of June 9, the It Ends With Us star attended the 18th Annual Tribeca Artists Dinner hosted by Chanel at The Odeon in New York City.
For the event, Lively, who was all smiles to the camera, wore a midi white lace dress with matching white heels. She then accessorized with golden rings, dangling earrings and her long blonde hair into soft, beachy curls.
The event was also attended by Mariska Hargitay, Lily James, Sofia Coppola, Jon Hamm, Lily Allen, and many more.

Prior to her appearance, Lively shared her reaction to the dismissal on Instagram Stories.
“Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us,” Lively wrote. “While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back.”
She then listed a series of organizations and resources for women in similar circumstances.
“I’m more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman’s right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story,” she continued. “With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don’t. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.”

But while her legal fight with Baldoni is seemingly swaying in her direction, Lively’s haircare company, Blake Brown, has reportedly filed a separate lawsuit against a Utah-based entrepreneur Kimberlie Hamner related to her brand, Beauty by Blake. The suit alleges that Hamner’s trademark could cause consumer confusion due to its similarity to Lively’s brand.
According to new court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Lively’s company, Family Hive LLC, filed trademarks for Blake Brown’s brand name and logo back in 2023 before launching the brand last summer.
Then, in September 2024, after Lively launched her brand, Hamner filed her Beauty by Blake trademark application, with plans for the trademark to be associated with “cosmetic oils” and “serums for cosmetic purposes.”
In the filing, Family Hive’s attorney Leo M. Loughlin argued that the rival trademark poses “a likelihood of confusion” and could “damage” the Blake Brown brand as well potentially misleading consumers into thinking the brand are connected when, in reality, Hamner has “no connection whatsoever” to Lively’s company.
It looks like Lively’s legal woes are far from over.
