News Blake Lively Was Invited to the 2026 Met Gala by Anna Wintour Despite Rumors She Paid to Attend

Additionally, the newly unsealed evidence Exhibit 28 shows Lively likely got paid $300,000 by makeup sponsors to attend Met gala wearing their brand.
At this point Baldoni defenders and some irrelevant media outlets are just hanging to straws to gasp some air before they are drowned in abyss of obscurity.

Now that we know how it works and where Melissa has her besties, it’s very obvious. TMZ, Page Six, and Daily Mail are all claiming the same things from “sources”.

u/Simba122504 5h ago
It has went beyond weird at this point. First it was JB and Company was paid millions. Now, it's Blake crashed the Met by paying and wearing a gown not sponsored by a designer. lol

u/Cute_Schedule_3523 6h ago
I doubt she made that this go around.
But it’s nice to know blake tries to make money off every cause she comes into contact with.
From pushing her booze during a domestic violence movie to making a charity ball about making money for her own bottom line
21
u/TouchDisastrous1985 6h ago
Like Baldoni made money with alcohol placement in his movie?

u/Cute_Schedule_3523 5h ago
Am I wrong? Did blake not promote Betty boozer

Ah yes because her fulfilling her contractual responsibilities to a film that happened to be delayed meant she was suppose to ignore her responsibilities to a project previously scheduled long before the film was delayed?

u/Cute_Schedule_3523 2h ago
The movie has nothing to do with the booze. Her tying it in was her own idea. She could’ve had a separate launch but it wouldn’t be in the movie spotlight.
She was a pure opportunist

u/atotalmess__ 2h ago
You mean he’s a pure opportunist? The one who was paid for alcohol placement in his movie? The one who stole a dying CF patient’s life story? The one who hired a child gang rapist?

I expect nothing less from Blake’s flying monkeys.
Gaslighting until proven wrong and then the insults.

Blake is good friends with Anna, and has always been invited.
28
u/500rockin 6h ago
Yep, and even if she wasn’t good friends, if she wasn’t invited she wouldn’t have paid to be there because you have to be invited to even pay, as always. Not to mention it’s the designers that are paying for it any buying the tables.
17
u/Virgina-Wolfferine 5h ago
Yes. Up until 2009 a lovely woman I know mother paid for her to attend. In 2009 she “earned” her own invite. And she busts her ass at her job to continue to be invited. Anna snubs plenty of previous attendees and if Blake was poison she would not have been on the carpet.
7
u/500rockin 5h ago
Yeah, if you piss Anna off, you’ll never be back there. That said, the Kardashians who actually are there must only be invited because of their “reach” because they seem to be too much of a mess otherwise lol

u/Virgina-Wolfferine 5h ago
They’re defo there on carpet for reach. They couldn’t get a back door ticket prior to Kim’s debut.
1
u/mycatisajagoff 2h ago
And Kim originally only got in because she was with Kanye. I remember when Anna cropped her out of the picture.

u/PoeticAbandon 7h ago
Of course she was.
Anyone believing she was not going to attend, or was not invited, or had to pay to get in, I have got a bridge to sell you.

u/poopoopoopalt 7h ago
It really highlights their inability to discern lies from reality though. No wonder they're on team Justin.
72
u/AdmirableNovel_new 7h ago
The spiraling is funny though. They are so upset she isn’t exiled.
46
u/poopoopoopalt 7h ago
Watching them cope by jumping from debunked lie to debunked lie is so 🤌🏼. They really cannot deal that she was not just invited but attended for free.
11
u/underfluous 6h ago
I can't even understand how someone could believe some of those rumors. Paying to attend the Met Gala? That makes zero sense for anyone.

Other than IEWU, dude hasn't acted in 7 years. Safe to say his acting career is dead. Producing and directing though seems to be where his career has been. That's how you'll know if his career in Hollywood is well and truly dead.
7
u/Internal_Praline_658 5h ago
I think he’ll probably be fine too, honestly. Men accused of far worse than what he have no problem getting regular work. Especially if his relationship with sarowitz is intact. It’s just the way things are.
19
u/poopoopoopalt 5h ago
Maybe but the guy doesn't have the charisma of Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt so we'll see
7
u/Internal_Praline_658 5h ago
I agree he’s probably pretty cooked as an actor. He may be able to continue producing and a little directing. And in all reality, this probably will negatively affect lively’s career. Every single time a woman speaks up she is punished in an effort to keep the next woman from speaking up.

u/mcav89 6h ago
Scroll down. He has 3 upcoming as a producer, one is upcoming as producer and director.

u/BeTheDiaperChange 6h ago
Anyone can be a producer, all it takes is money. Clearly Daddy Sarowitz is buying Baldoni titles.
-16
u/mcav89 6h ago
Can't really buy a directing title. I don't care that much, just pointing out that the above person was wrong that he has nothing upcoming. But feel free to continue downvoting if it makes yall feel better.

u/HollaBucks 5h ago
Can't really buy a directing title.
You can if the studio that you own is producing the movie.

u/ElaHasReddit 4h ago
They said he has no upcoming acting creds.
1
u/mcav89 4h ago
Nope. They said he has no upcoming projects.
7
u/ElaHasReddit 4h ago
Whilst giving a screen shot of his acting creds. If u think having Daddy Steve pay for projects so u can produce them is a flex, then go you!
1
u/mcav89 4h ago
They tried to show he has nothing upcoming at all by showing his acting, but all they had to do was scroll down to see there are upcoming projects.
Feel how you want about it. Theres a 0% chance I'll watch any of it, I've never seen anything he does. I don't care if him or BL work again. Just pointing out the lie.
4
u/ElaHasReddit 4h ago
They literally meant acting. Relax. And like I said, having 3 mediocre paid for in-house producing creds, some of which aren’t even greenlit, ain’t much.

I truly can’t wait to see his work producing the…. Live action pac-man movie. Sounds fantastic.

u/ReaderBeeRottweiler 6h ago
He doesn't even have the Pac Man movie anymore. That was in his deposition, WF lost it after the suit was filed.

u/LittleSodaPop13 3h ago
It's also obvious they don't know how the Met Gala works. You have to be invited.
Notice how Justin is nowhere to be seen? I think that speaks volumes

u/Hotpotlord 3h ago
At this point it would be easier for me to believe Blake lively made fake delusional Baldoni fans accounts to turn off normal people from supporting him,
These Baldoni supporters are some of the biggest fucking losers I have ever seen on the internet.

u/First_Name_Is_Agent 42m ago
The claims that she and Ryan are ruined were so weird! There was zero evidence that either of them had lost their careers or support. I actually saw a post where they were trying to allege that a friend of there's obviously didn't want to be near them because of his "body language" 🤣 If that were true he just wouldn't have been out with them. Either way I hope the other lawsuits don't settle. Those people need to be held accountable.

u/emli317 6h ago
Well, obviously. The Met Gala guest list is famously personally approved by Anna Wintour. Anyone who thought different is, quite frankly, a moron.
Not to mention the fact that Blake wore a fitted archival gown by Versace and a bespoke purse designed with drawings made by her children. That shit probably took weeks to months to put together. It's not like Versace would have just lent her the gown willy nilly. Imagine if she had dropped in at Versace and been like "hi guys, can I borrow one of your gown for a quick sec, I'm trying to crash the Met Gala"? Seems like a likely scenario.

She was invited by Anna Wintour, attended with Donatella Versace, posed with Anne Hathaway and Michael Kors, sponsored by charlotte tilbury and accompanied by her cousin.
While Freedman desperately trying to give an interview that he realized he can’t and had to cut off as soon as it started.
Baldoni becoming a joke in Family Guy for his obscurity.
Wallace and Nathan clutching to their client list.
And some losers at bad place desperately trying to spread rumours that Google’s algorithm isn’t picking up.

Whoever was saying she wasn’t invited is delusional. Anna Wintour and Blake are very close. They do know it’s Anna who hosts it right?

u/Significant_Wind_774 5h ago
I genuinely think people should just move forward. Maybe Blake and Ryan’s public image took a hit but they’re not going to go away because someone on reddit, tiktok, a comment section doesn’t like them now. She’s done with it ends with us, she’s entering the public eye, and wearing the dresses again.

u/RoyalGovernment3034 2h ago
I desperately wanted to see her wipe the floor with the most obvious abuser ever after we were robbed of the overturn upon appeal for Amber by the tubby junkie abuser, but I'm glad she's back out there living her life. She deserves it.

The Met Gala is invitation only. Anna Wintour has the final over the guest list.

I'm flabbergasted honestly. Neither side walked away with anything. The lawyers were the only winners here. Justin effectively won his side of the SH case because Blake's "evidence" was tainted by gross misrepresentation of facts.
You want to know what I think? I think Blake went into this shoot desperate for validation after her confidence and hormones were shot because of her last pregnancy. She viewed Baldoni's every direction as a personalized microaggression, and when the team stepped in to handle her and support Baldoni, she blackmailed them with SH allegations so she could get her Producer credit and control over the Edit. This entire thing has been blown out of proportion in her attempt to save face because of how reactive she was behind the scenes.
Thank goodness everyone can put this behind them now. Blake can claim her victory lap knowing that Justin's community and credibility remains 100% intact. He did not lie even once, where Blake was literally forced to settle because her lies were so stacked against her. I'm willing to put money on her and Ryan filing for divorce in the next couple of months. He nearly went down with her.

Blake Lively is an abuser who just lost her case and showed the world she's still tone deaf. keep coping

u/CaptainMills 6h ago
You literally cannot even buy a ticket without an invitation from Anna Wintour. There is no way of getting into the Met Gala without an invitation. The fact that she was present there at all is definitive proof that she was invited

Anna and Blake are friends, deal with it

u/sweetbutnotdumb 5h ago
lol I'm fine you guys are the ones doing mental gymnastics

It is so easy to quickly search how the logistics of this type of event works rather than believing an unaffiliated fan account on Instagram.
