Anna Kendrick stuns at 85th Annual Peabody Awards after Another Simple Favor tensions with Blake Lively

BBG News

On Sunday, I found myself feeling quite awestruck at the sight of Anna Kendrick at the 85th Annual Peabody Awards in Los Angeles. She was absolutely stunning!

In a striking magenta, strapless dress, the 39-year-old actress from Another Simple Favor, reportedly involved in a dispute with co-star Blake Lively during production, made her arrival.

The cleavage-baring number featured a deep neckline that dipped and gathered in the middle.

For the sake of clarity, let me rephrase that for you: This experienced actress opted for a minimalistic approach with the rest of her style. She divided her golden-tipped hair down the middle into a central parting, and then smoothed it flat using an iron.

I carefully selected a soft berry-pink eyeshadow to complement my outfit, ensuring a harmonious blend of style and subtle elegance in my makeup look.

During their media appearances in April, there were rumors suggesting a disagreement between Anna and Blake, as he faced an ongoing court case involving his co-star/director from It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni.

Fans initially suspected there was bad blood among the actresses earlier this year.

A dispute arose concerning alleged excessive billing for the production of their movie. Additionally, it was suggested that Kendrick felt that Lively’s legal issues with Baldoni were receiving more attention than their film, causing concern.

Fans’ concerns were stoked when Anna and Blake appeared at SXSW in Texas in March.

In response to being asked about collaborating with Blake once more, as depicted in the video ET posted, Kendrick responded vaguely, saying something along the lines of “Ah, well, you’re familiar with it…

Previously, a source shared with E! News that there’s no conflict or animosity between them. Instead, they have a professional relationship as colleagues and also maintain a friendship outside of work, and they generally get along quite well.

It was mentioned that the two seasoned Hollywood actors were eager to participate in promoting the film alongside their fellow cast members.

Director Paul Feig, from Another Simple Favor, spoke up about the alleged drama, stating on his X platform in January, as reported by E!, “This is complete nonsense. I’m sorry, don’t believe everything you read on social media nowadays.

At Sunday’s event, Jon Hamm sported a stylish dark gray textured suit with a patterned shirt and tie, adding a touch of elegance to the occasion.

In his press statement, Jeffrey Jones noted that the topics covered by the 85th Peabody Award winners span a broad spectrum, encompassing modern and historic themes such as the conflict in Gaza, rural health care, disability awareness, authoritarian regimes, and sexual misconduct.

These pieces, whether they’re shedding light on worldwide topics or creating joy and camaraderie with their clever entertainment, are truly worthy of appreciation and acclaim.

Comedian and actor Roy Wood Jr. hosted the ceremony, which was held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Also at the high-profile function was actress and producer Kerry Washington.

In a stunning appearance, the 48-year-old celebrity from the Bronx dazzled on the red carpet, donning a see-through, deep blue, off-the-shoulder blouse and a frilled white miniskirt.

In this outfit, the 53-year-old comedic actress highlighted her hips with a skirt that circled around her waist, and it was cinched together using a golden accessory.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair was arranged in a side part and soft waves that framed her face. 

41-year-old Yvonne Orji stepped out wearing a lengthy, sunny yellow dress that was elegantly pleated and sported a chic, golden-hued bob haircut to match.

As a devoted admirer, I too was captivated by the elegance of the 41-year-old actress from This Is Us, who paired her stylish ensemble with a coordinating satin bag and footwear in an alluring shade of aqua.

She looked typically beautiful in a full face of matte makeup complete with a berry-toned lipstick.

She had beautifully arranged straight hair, parted down the middle, and the front sections neatly tucked behind her ears, giving it a sleek appearance.

After turning heads on the red carpet she took the stage as a presenter.
