Blake Lively, 37, gets a strong show of support from her family including rarely seen sister Lori, 58, at premiere
The Hollywood looker had her arms around her older sister Robyn, 53, who is on both Lioness and Landman. She has also played Ms Byland in the Blake's movie It Ends With Us.
And she was also with Robyn's husband Bart Johnson, 54, who is also an actor. He is best known for his role as Coach Jack Bolton in the High School Musical film series.
They brought their pretty red-headed daughter Isabela Ferrer, 20.
Also there was Blake's 58-year-old sister Lori Lively, actress, television co-host/designer, and acting coach. She is best known for Dead Space.
Then there was Blake's 77-year-old mother Willie Elain McAlpin, who stood out in a floral-print dress with black platform heels.
And her husband Ryan Reynolds was by her side as well.
The 37-year-old Gossip Girl star commanded attention in a plunging light blue gown, which hugged every inch her hourglass figure.
She accessorized the floor-length dress, which featured a criss-cross design across the bodice that dipped down to her hips, with a pair of statement earrings and several sparkly pink bracelets from Lorraine Schwartz.
For the occasion, the actress wore her long blonde hair in romantic waves, nude lip gloss and a glamorous makeup look.
She was joined by her husband, 48, who appeared every inch the doting husband as he stood by her side on the red carpet in a grey suit and brown loafers.
Lively and her husband, who recently attended the Time100 Gala together, looked every bit the loved-up couple as they worked the red carpet, with the Deadpool star putting on a charming display as he turned the spotlight onto his wife.
They shared loving gazes at one another and looked picture perfect as Lively rested her hand on his torso and he the small of her back.
Also in attendance was Lively's Another Simple Favor co-star Anna Kendrick, whom she is rumored to be embroiled in a feud with.
Blake and Anna notably kept some distance while promoting Another Simple Favor at SXSW, fueling suspicions of tension between them.
One bone of contention is said to be over billing for the movie, while it has also been claimed that Kendrick is upset Lively's legal ordeal with Justin Baldoni has been overshadowing their new film.
The film is a sequel to the 2018 film and brings back Lively and Anna Kendrick
However the A-listers set their alleged differences aside to hit the red carpet.
Anna worked a bedazzled white crop top, flowing trousers, and platform heels.
They were also joined by their director, Paul Feig, who previously dispelled feud claims between the leading ladies.
He posed in between the women and sported a suit, glossy scarf, and his usual smart glasses.
Blake and Anna have returned to their roles of Emily Nelson and Stephanie Smothers respectively for their anticipated film Another Simple Favor, the sequel to their 2018 film A Simple Favor.
It's set for release on May 1.
The premise, 'Follows Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) as they head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily's extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman,' per IMDB.
The premiere comes after Lively was hit by widespread backlash for her speech at the Time100 Gala on Thursday night.
Ryan accompanied his wife to Thursday's event held at Jazz at the Lincoln Center in New York City, where she was honoured as one of the magazine's most influential people of the year.
In her speech, Blake alluded to her legal war with former co-star Justin and also revealed her mother's past assault by a 'work acquaintance.'
'I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,' she said, hinting at her ongoing bitter court battle with Baldoni, whom she accused of sexual harassment, which he denied.
Instead, she decided to speak about 'the feeling of being a woman who has a voice today.'
Blake shared that her life was 'influenced most' by her mother, Willie Elaine McAlpin, who was the 'survivor of the worst crime someone can commit against a woman.'
She said: 'My mom never got justice from her work acquaintance who attempted to take her life when she was the mother of three young kids years before I was born.'
Blake stated that her mother credited a woman who shared a 'similar circumstance' on the radio with saving her life.
'The woman painfully and graphically shared how she escaped. And because of hearing that woman speak about her experience instead of shutting down in fear and unfair shame, my mom is alive today. She was saved by a woman whose name she'll never know.'
She then called womanhood a 'pact that privately we must show others how to survive, literally or spiritually.'
'We don't let our daughters know, but one day we break their hearts by letting them in on the secret that we kept from them as they pranced around in princess dresses that they are not and will likely never be safe at work, at home, in a parking lot in a medical office, online — in any space they inhabit physically, emotionally, professionally.'
Blake called the 'superpower of female triumph' a 'basic human right,' and added, 'Never underestimate a woman's ability to endure pain.'
While she also paid tribute to Ryan, as she thanked 'every man, including my sweet husband, who are kind and good when no one is watching.'
But viewers were left unimpressed by the speech, taking to social media to blast Blake for sharing her mother's trauma as an 'obvious PR move' amid her ongoing feud with Baldoni.
Many fans criticized the star for using her mother's ordeal in the speech, after remaining silent on domestic violence while promoting It Ends With Us — directed by and co-starring Baldoni — which portrayed an abusive relationship.
'Oh so now she is using her Mother's SA to be likable??? But in August she didn't mention DV when promoting a movie about DV. Interesting…' one person wrote.
'Blake Lively used her Time100 speech to reveal her mother is a rape survivor—an obvious PR move to align with SA victims. Yet, with that personal connection to trauma, she still couldn't figure out how to market a movie about DV? What's next for her, a Peace Nobel Prize?' another added.
'Why wasn't she having these speeches when she was promoting the movie?? Instead she was promoting alcohol and naming drinks after the characters. don't understand why they keep giving her a platform.'
'My mom is a victim so I know suffering too? What is the point in telling mom's story?' another person questioned.
Elsewhere in her speech, Blake discussed being an honouree 'in a time where the most valuable currency seems to be anger, it feels like an act of defiance to commune and celebrate all the good that is alive in the world.'
As for being called influential, she said: 'How we use that matters. Who and what we stand up for, and what we stay silent about, what we monetize versus what we actually live, matters.'

Top violinist Nicola Benedetti confirms she IS married to jazz musician 25 years her senior who she met when she was just 17 - and they have a baby daughter
Top violinist Nicola Benedetti has confirmed she is married to a jazz musician 25 years her senior who she met when she was just 17 years old. The 38-year-old was introduced to celebrated jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, 63, more than 21 years ago in New York when she attended the American Academy of Achievement summit as a student-delegate. At the time, the Scottish violinist was just 17 years old, while Mr Marsalis, of New Orleans, was 42. Speaking publicly about their relationship for the first time, Ms Benedetti, of Ayrshire, has revealed she was a 'huge fan' of the American trumpeter when they initially crossed paths. Having formed a 'certain type of kinship', she said that the pair initially remained 'good friends' for several years, despite their large age gap. They then began a romantic relationship several years later, with the couple welcoming their first child together, a daughter, in May 2024. Now, speaking to The Telegraph about the decision to keep their relationship private for so many years, Ms Benedetti said: 'I don't tend to discuss my private life because people don't come to my concerts because of whom I'm in a relationship with. 'They come because I play the violin'. Ms Benedetti, 38, met celebrated jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, 63, (both pictured) more than 21 years ago in New York when she attended the American Academy of Achievement summit as a student-delegate Mr Marsalis has four other children - two sons, Wynton Jr. and Simeon, with former partner Candace Stanley, a third son, Jasper, whom he shares with actress Victoria Rowell, alongside a daughter, Oni, who he has publicly collaborated with. As a key figure in the 1980s jazz renaissance, he often been referred to as the 'Pied Piper' of Jazz, accumulating up to nine Grammy awards across a career spanning over four decades. Meanwhile, Ms Benedetti, who has strong Italian roots, won the title of BBC Young Musician in 2004 when she was 16 and became the youngest ever recipient of the Queen's Medal for Music in 2017. She shared with The Telegraph that since having a child, she has begun to question elements of her upbringing. Both her and her older sister would be required to practise the violin for up to three hours on a daily basis during the summer holidays. Adding that her 'strict' childhood meant both her and her sister 'feared upsetting our parents', the Scots performer added that she believes the young people of today often 'lack basic discipline in their daily lives'. In 2015, Mr Marsalis composed a violin concerto specifically for Ms Benedetti titled 'Violin Concerto in D', premiered at London's Barbican Centre. The piece, widely considered one of the most popular and beloved violin concertos in the classical repertoire, was described as 'taking inspiration from Ms Benedetti's life as a travelling performer and educator who enlightens and delights communities'. But Ms Benedetti and Mr Marsalis said they could hardly remember who came up with the initial idea, joking in a joint interview: 'It's like a scene from When Harry Met Sally. I don't know if I said it or if she said it.' The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in May 2024. Pictured: Ms Benedetti and Mr Marsalis. Pictured: the pair at a reception to celebrate the most talented jazz musicians in London on May 9, 2024 Ms Benedetti, who has strong Italian roots, won the title of BBC Young Musician in 2004 when she was 16 and became the youngest ever recipient of the Queen's Medal for Music in 2017. Just after giving birth in 2024, she was seen attending events with her new-born baby in tow (pictured) Meanwhile, in an interview with the LA Times in 2016, Ms Benedetti gushed about the piece, remarking that the sound was 'truly wild and so quintessentially him', while Mr Marsalis said the favourite part of the concerto for him was simply 'Nicola's sound'. Adding: 'I just like her sound'. In the years following, the pair continued to collaborate on numerous projects. In 2023, Ms Benedetti became the first woman and the first Scot to be appointed director of the Edinburgh International Festival, which takes place every August. Announcing her pregnancy in March 2024, Ms Benedetti told the Times that she was feeling 'positive' and 'excited', adding: 'There is so much unknown. Flexibility will be the aim of the game in the next little while and plenty of support.' In May 2025, nine months after her daughter's birth, she revealed that becoming a mother had 'definitely' changed her and given her a more relaxed attitude to the perfectionism that drove her to international fame. In an interview with Richard Morrison for The Times, she said: 'Throughout my life I have been so concerned with what could happen, or what did happen, or what could have been done better. 'I used to analyse again and again every note of the performance I'd just done, or the recording I'd just made. 'So I was always living either in the past or the future. Since my daughter was born, I have learnt to live in the present and just be grateful to be here.' She also added: 'I've not done any big concerts since giving birth. Just a bit of playing in the [Edinburgh] Festival and one or two small private concerts.' However, just weeks after giving birth, she was seen attending events with her new-born baby in tow, including promoting Scottish Opera's Oedipus Rex with her daughter in a sling. She also took her daughter with her when she appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today Show where she discussed funding for the arts and performed violin piece Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar. Mr Marsalis currently serves as the artistic director of Jazz at the Lincoln Center, in New York, the site of where the pair first met all those years ago. In January 2009, he performed to President Obama alongside an exclusive crowd of 100 guests at his inauguration party. Meanwhile, Ms Benedetti also serves as founder of music education charity The Benedetti Foundation, which has inspired more than 100,000 young musicians. In March 2024, the foundation responded to the news of Ms Benedetti's pregnancy in a celebratory post that read: 'We are so thrilled for our founder and artistic director Nicky Benedetti who has announced she is expecting a baby in May. Huge congratulations and much love from all of the foundation team.' On BBC Radio Scotland series Stark Talk in 2019, Ms Benedetti spoke about having children, stating: 'My sister's married now and in a very kind of settled place in her life, but she's 35, and a lot of my friends are in similar circumstances. They live in a house with a partner and have children or are going to have children, and obviously I'm not at that point yet.' Asked in a 2022 interview with The Times if she would like to have children, she was quoted as saying: 'If I am fortunate enough to be able to, yes I hope so.'

Cleo Laine, Britain's most successful jazz singer, dies aged 97
Dame Cleo Laine, the UK's most successful and celebrated jazz singer, has died aged 97. A statement from her children Jacqui and Alec reads: 'It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother, Cleo, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon. We will all miss her terribly. The family wish to be given space to grieve and ask for privacy at this very difficult time.' She was well known for a longstanding collaboration with her late husband, the composer and reed player John Dankworth, singing with his jazz bands from the mid-1950s onwards. But she also had a stellar solo career, including in the US, where she became the only female artist to be nominated for Grammy awards in pop, jazz and classical categories; few singers have the versatility to deliver atonal Arnold Schoenberg pieces and to have duetted with Ray Charles. Laine was born in Uxbridge, west London, in 1927, the daughter of a Jamaican father and an English farmer's daughter (her original name was Clementina Campbell, though she was registered at birth as Clementine Bullock, her mother's surname). She was raised in nearby Southall and had an unassuming youth, working at various jobs after leaving school including as a hairdresser, librarian and pawnbroker. Still a teenager, she married George Langridge and had a son, Stuart. She sang in clubs after work, but became a professional singer in her mid-20s after successfully auditioning for Dankworth's band the Dankworth Seven. 'In a sense, with them, I started at the top,' she later said. She earned £7 a week, and changed her name to the snappier Cleo Laine. Her marriage faltered – Langridge 'thought my career was a pipe-dream', she said – and Laine left him for Dankworth, marrying him in 1958. She developed her voice, eventually reaching a four-octave range and becoming one of the most esteemed proponents of the scat singing style. She acted in plays and musical theatre in London, as well as performing with Dankworth and his band; in 1961, she crossed over into the British pop charts with You'll Answer to Me reaching No 5. She and Dankworth achieved further recognition with their jazz arrangements of poetry by Shakespeare, ee cummings, WH Auden and TS Eliot. Emboldened by a successful Australian tour, they began live performances in New York. US reviewers received her rapturously, and Laine cemented her American career with concerts backed by her husband at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, alongside musical theatre on Broadway. She recorded an acclaimed album of Stephen Sondheim numbers, duetted with Ray Charles for a recording of Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess, and made collaborative albums with the guitarist John Williams and the flautist James Galway. In 1992, she supported Frank Sinatra for a five-night residency at London's Royal Albert Hall. In 1970, she and Dankworth founded the Stables venue in the grounds of their home in Wavendon, Buckinghamshire, which has gone on to present concerts by Dave Brubeck, Amy Winehouse and many others, and hosts music education projects. In 1979 she was awarded an OBE and in 1997 she was made a dame. Dankworth was knighted in 2006. The couple continued to tour together until shortly before Dankworth's death on 6 February 2010, aged 82. Laine performed later that night, alongside their musician children Jacqui and Alec, for a scheduled concert celebrating 40 years of the Stables; she only announced her husband's death at the end of the concert. 'It wasn't so much 'the show must go on' – I'm not that committed to the stage,' she said in 2010. 'I instinctively knew Johnny would want it to. That if I had died he would have gone on. Johnny and me – we were joined at the hip.' She is survived by Jacqui and Alec. Her son Stuart died in 2019, aged 72.

Inside the Lionesses' incredibly normal homes - and there's not a mansion in sight
The Lionesses have risen to success during the Euros and will face Spain in the final this Sunday, but when they're not on the pitch, they can be found at their stunning yet minimalist homes As the England Women's Football team prepares for their Euro final match against Spain this Sunday, footie fans are eager to learn more about the gifted players – including where they reside. Despite their hectic schedules, the Lionesses still manage to add personal touches to their homes. Many of them reside in mid-sized houses adorned with modern decor and sleek furnishings, hinting at a possible shared love for minimalistic interiors within the squad. There's even the odd football memorabilia spotted in the background, and spaces they've created for those all-important recovery days. Let's take a closer look inside... Extra bank holiday update if Lionesses win Euros as No10 breaks silence on day off Alex Greenwood Lioness left-back Alex Greenwood shares her home with partner Jack O'Connell, whom she met during her teenage years. The 31-year-old Manchester City captain has kept most of her home life off social media, but a handful of posts revealed that she has a plush grey sofa and white-washed walls in her living room. In snaps from February 2023, Greenwood can be seen lying on the snug grey sofa, adorned with matching cushions. Air diffusers sit on the white window seals, and a black coffee table and cabinet can be spotted in the background. There's also a touching nod to her career, where a football sits in a stand on the cabinet - we just wonder what game it came from. Lucy Bronze The Chelsea right-back, known as one of the world's top female footballers, lives in a stunning abode with a trendy bedroom and sleek kitchen. In photos shared on Instagram, Bronze revealed her terracotta and pink-shaded bedroom, with warm furnishings and cosy interiors. The room is adorned with abstract art above the bed, plants on the wooden chest of drawers, a circle mirror, lamps with rattan shades, and plush pillows scattered across the double bed. With its warming tones and snug features, it is the perfect haven. In an Instagram post back in 2021, Lucy is thought to have shared another look inside her home, this time her kitchen. While it's unclear if Bronze has since moved, the large kitchen boasted sleek grey cabinets and a large island in the middle. In the snap, Bronze beamed alongside her Nan to sweetly wish her a happy birthday. The same room with the kitchen and open-planned space was featured in another Instagram post in the same year, this time with the footballer holding her beloved pooch. The downstairs area boasts white tiled flooring and white walls for a minimalistic finish, with large patio doors spanning the room. Chloe Kelly Arsenal forward Chloe Kelly lives with her husband, Scott, whom she married in July last year. They also have three adorable dogs, Rolo, Otis, and Brody. Although they haven't officially shown the public around their home, fans have had sneak peeks of its contemporary design on several occasions. The couple has opted for a minimalist aesthetic with a grey carpeted staircase, beige walls, and grey floorboards. Ella Toone In November 2022, the Manchester United attacking midfielder became a proud homeowner and is thought to be living with her long-term boyfriend, Joe Bunney. In a snap shared on Instagram at the time, Toone beamed as she stood outside her new pad and wrote the caption: "Happy new home day." In further snaps, Toone shared a closer glimpse inside her abode, including her living room, which follows the theme of other Lionesses' style. The cosy area boasts a grey corner sofa, beige walls, abstract prints, a black coffee table, and a plush grey rug for extra comfort. The dining room is just as sleek with a stone grey table with circular glass lights hanging above and two shelves filled with photos, ornaments, and plants. It really is the ideal abode to relax after a football tournament.
