Blake Lively BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

On September 5th, Blake Lively made a striking appearance at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where she embraced the season’s sheer trend at a high-profile beauty event hosted by Glossy Pop. Decked out in a translucent chain mail top and pleated skirt, Lively captivated the crowd at a panel discussing innovations and accessibility in premium haircare. Her focus was on her Blake Brown beauty brand, which she launched in 2024, and the actress later used Instagram Stories to celebrate Megababe founder Katie Sturino for supporting her at the event. Lively praised Sturino and spoke about her passion for accessible, high-quality haircare, underscoring her ongoing commitment to entrepreneurship. Earlier this year, Lively debuted a hair and body mist, with husband Ryan Reynolds publicly championing the product and admitting it’s his personal favorite, adding a personal touch to her brand’s momentum. While Blake was commanding attention in New York, Reynolds was in Toronto for the premiere of the John Candy documentary he co-produced, reflecting the couple’s ever-busy and often separate public schedules, as reported by AOL and People.

Financially, Lively’s independent empire continues to flourish. Impact Wealth describes her 2025 net worth as somewhere between $40 and $45 million, fueled by her selective acting projects, Betty Buzz mixer brand, and finessed real estate holdings. Although Ryan Reynolds’ financial profile far eclipses hers thanks to major business deals, Lively’s long-term strategy of focusing on entrepreneurship over constant screen appearances is drawing attention in industry circles.

Headlines in legal news have also trailed Lively in recent days. Rumors that her legal team issued a subpoena to former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly were flatly denied by a spokesperson, who clarified to People that Kelly was never subpoenaed at any stage of Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. As the legal dispute rumbles on, according to Perez Hilton, Lively recently filed to withdraw a subpoena against a third party after over 80000 pages of documents were produced by the defendants, signaling a possible shift in her legal tactics.

Reality Tea adds a note of intrigue, reporting that friends believe Lively may be inspired by Kim Kardashian’s legal pursuits and is now eyeing a law career herself, going so far as looking up LSAT prep. While this is rumor and not confirmed, the speculation gains traction due to the very visible court drama with Baldoni, which allegedly includes sexual harassment accusations and countersuits.

Amid all this, Lively’s every move has been dissected by social media—her fashion, business choices, and legal maneuvers are trending topics, but amid the whispers and headlines, her focus on female solidarity, entrepreneurship, and measured public appearances stands out as the enduring elements in her story this week.
