She gently curled her golden-honey hair into soft waves and completed her appearance with a smoky eye makeup look.

40-year-old Lily Allen, known for her work with the band Smile, turned heads in a form-fitting mini dress that she paired with a sleek satin black jacket featuring buttons.

Lily pulled her raven tresses up into a stylish up do and accessorised with dazzling jewllerey. 

At the glamorous event, Lily was a whirlwind of poses alongside Christy Turlington, Lorelle Lynch, Lucy Liu, and Alisha Boe on the red carpet.

Actress Blake Lively was spotted not long after she spoke up about the dismissal of Justin Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit following their legal dispute over “It Ends With Us”.

The actress, 37, released a powerful statement hours after a judge dismissed Justin’s case.

On a day filled with anticipation, just a few short days ago, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with 19 courageous advocates, I raised my voice in solidarity, championing the cause of women’s right to express themselves for their safety – a message I proudly shared on Instagram.

Similar to countless others, I’ve experienced the distress of a counter-suit, as well as the attempt to instill feelings of humiliation and disgrace that seem designed to undermine our resilience.

The celebrity from LA went on to say: ‘Although the lawsuit against me was dismissed, not everyone has the means to defend themselves.’

Blake, the mother of four with her spouse Ryan Reynolds, firmly declared that she remains more determined than ever to advocate for every woman’s ability to express their views and safeguard aspects such as their personal security, moral values, self-respect, and individual narrative.

Instead of “The Gossip Girl alum wrapped up in thanking those in the public who have supported her amid the turbulent past year,” you could also say, “The former star of Gossip Girl expressed gratitude to all those who stood by her during a challenging year.

From the heart, I express my deep appreciation to those who’ve been by my side, some I’ve come to know well, others I haven’t yet had the pleasure, but rest assured, I always cherish and champion each of you.

As a lifestyle expert looking back on my journey, I’ve found it essential to highlight the incredible support I’ve received during the high-profile dispute in Tinseltown. Many organizations have publicly stood by me, and I am immensely grateful for their unwavering solidarity.

In alphabetical sequence, these included: California Employment Lawyers Association, California Women’s Law Center, CHILD USA, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Equal Rights Advocates, Esperanza United, Her Justice, and Herunivercity Inc.

In a more conversational tone: Here are some of the organizations listed: California Employment Lawyers Association, California Women’s Law Center, CHILD USA, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Equal Rights Advocates, Esperanza United, Her Justice, and Herunivercity Inc. Each one is organized alphabetically for your convenience.

On Thursday, Blake indirectly suggested a potential shift in the case when he criticized Justin, claiming that numerous women’s organizations have distanced themselves from him.

19 prominent advocates for women’s rights, children’s rights, and those dedicated to addressing domestic violence have collectively joined forces on four different legal documents supporting various causes, as confirmed by a representative for the actress from “Another Simple Favor,” in a statement provided to Daily Mail.

The statement goes on to say: ‘Everyone stands together in resisting Justin Baldoni’s efforts to undermine a law meant for the safety of women who voice their opinions – all as a means of self-preservation.’

In simpler terms, Blake’s team is suggesting that Justin seems to be acting contrary to his usual strategies as the complex legal matter unfolds, which might lead to a higher level of examination given his previous public comments.

Instead of standing firm on the facts, Justin seems to be flipping his long-held public image – he’s now distancing himself from the message he once passionately advocated through his YouTube videos, podcasts, TED Talks, and interviews. Back in the day, he encouraged men to listen to the women in their lives, to empathize with their pain, and even believe them when they speak up, even if it goes against you, according to his representative.

Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for Justin for further comment on this story.

‘These women and groups are raising concerns about his use of DARVO strategies, which could have a significant, chilling impact that goes far beyond this specific situation.’

After the dismissal of Justin’s lawsuit, Marvel Entertainment, LLC is undoubtedly feeling a sense of relief.

Justice required the studio to save any papers pertaining to the Nicepool character connected with Deadpool and Wolverine, as Justin’s lawyers argued it was created to belittle, harass, tease, harass, or intimidate him. (Three instances of “harass” were used for variety in phrasing.)

However, once Justin’s lawsuit was dismissed, Liman consented to Marvel’s proposal to nullify the subpoena sent to Marvel by Justin’s Wayfarer Parties and also requested a protective order that would prevent the disclosure of Marvel’s confidential documents.

On January 7th, Justin’s team wrote a letter asking Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, and Bob Iger, the CEO of parent company Walt Disney, to keep certain documents for them.

In my account, I’ve been standing by Blake as she brought forth sexual harassment allegations against Justin in a legal claim. On the other hand, Justin has countered with accusations of defamation and extortion, amounting to an astounding $400 million, leveled towards Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane. Notably, the extortion charge against Leslie Sloane was dismissed on Monday.

Justin refutes the claims made by Blake, whereas Blake, Ryan, and Leslie all reject the charges filed against them by Justin in court.

In December, Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin, alleging instances of sexual harassment that occurred during the film’s production. Specifically, she claimed that Justin made derogatory comments about her body (body shaming) and manipulated circumstances to tarnish her image, thereby damaging her reputation.

In reaction to the lawsuit, it has been stated by Justin and his representatives that Blake distorted the true meaning of text messages and deceived the public regarding the nature of their communications during the production of the movie.

In her court case, Blake cited several individuals who have worked with Justin, such as his production company Wayfarer Studios, the CEO and investors of this studio, and public relations representatives Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel.

Later on, Justin filed a lawsuit against the publication for an alleged defamation worth $250 million, stemming from a December 21 article entitled ‘”We Can Bury Anyone”: Unveiling a Hollywood Slander Apparatus;” however, the newspaper has refuted these claims.

On January 16, Justin initiated a $400 million legal action against Blake, Ryan, and their publicist Leslie Sloane, claiming defamation and extortion. He stated in court that the trio had fabricated allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
