Blake Lively dons powersuit as she plots big TV comeback after being branded a ‘ridiculous joke’ by Megyn Kelly

Blake Lively dons powersuit as she plots big TV comeback after being branded a ‘ridiculous joke’ by Megyn Kelly

Blake Lively suited up to promote her upcoming film Another Simple Favor while in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.

The troubled 37-year-old – who styles herself – wore a bedazzled grey-fitted blazer with matching pleated wide-leg trousers and spike chrome pumps.

Hairstylist Jennifer Yepez coiffed Blake’s signature side-parted blonde mane in waves and make-up artist Kristofer Buckle fully contoured her complexion.

Lively was joined in the Big Apple by her onscreen leading man Michele Morrone – who portrays her character’s mafiaso fiancé Dante Versano – looked far more dressed down in double denim.

The Secrets of the Penguins narrator affectionately placed her right hand on the Italian 34-year-old’s chiseled chest and he wrapped his right arm around her waist.

It’s probably nerve-wracking for any future co-star of Blake’s to touch her considering she accused her It Ends With Us director-leading man Justin Baldoni of Sєxually harᴀssing her on set last year.

Lively (born Brown) and the 41-year-old filmmaker are scheduled to face off in Manhattan US District Court for a Sєxual harᴀssment and defamation trial beginning March 2026, but the general public have already sided with him.

The LA-born mother-of-four is set to make her triumphant talk show return on this Thursday’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

It will mark Blake’s third time on the NBC late-night program inside Rockefeller Center after promoting The Shallows there in 2016 and The Age of Adaline in 2015.

Megyn continued: 'I think she launched a fake Me Too allegation against [Justin Baldoni, pictured in 2014], and she's lived to regret doing it, because virtually every allegation she has made has fallen apart. So for her to be honored for doing that, to try to ruin a man over absolutely nothing, is a scandal'

As more evidence is revealed, Blake – who requires ‘authorship’ on all her films – appears to have masterminded a takeover of the It Ends with Us script, wardrobe, score, and editing departments by threatening to pull out of promoting the domestic violence drama.

Last August, Lively faced substantial outrage over her treatment of journalists, sarcastically answering questions about DV in her movie, and floral-filled Barbie-style promotion directly tied to her haircare and booze brands.
