Blake Lively is notably absent from the 2025 Met Gala, but her decision to skip the event reportedly has nothing to do with her ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.
Where is Blake Lively
According to multiple sources, including TMZ, Cosmopolitan, and Us Weekly, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, had already decided not to attend the 2025 gala months before the lawsuit became public and went viral online (here).

The couple’s absence is allegedly consistent with their pattern in recent years.
They last attended the Met Gala in 2022, where they co-chaired the event alongside Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Since then, they have opted out of the 2023 and 2024 galas, reportedly to focus on family time.
