Country Star’s Heartbreaking Loss: Mother Dies Before Last Show
Musician Billy Strings took the stage just hours after the death of his mother Debra Apostal on Friday, telling concertgoers ‘that’s…
She’s been making Hollywood headlines for all the wrong reasons of late – amid a toxic legal battle with her former director.
But Blake Lively pulled out the big guns as A-listers supported her at the premiere of her latest film.
And despite the strain from her clash with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, Ms Lively’s glass was evidently half-full as she sported an on-trend clutch bag resembling a Martini glass at an after-party in New York.
Her leather-lined £5,500 Judith Leiber Couture clutch, adorned with crystals, is part of a growing celebrity penchant for bags that resemble foodstuffs or drinking vessels.
Lauren Sanchez, fiancee of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, was recently seen out carrying a £4,350 Balenciaga coffee cup handbag.
Meanwhile, Madonna, Kim Kardashian and even former US First Lady Hillary Clinton are also said to be fans of Hungarian-American designer Ms Leiber.
Ms Lively, 37, was joined by her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, at the screening of her latest movie Another Simple Favour in the Big Apple on Sunday.
And Reynolds recruited good friend Hugh Jackman, 56, whom he starred alongside in Deadpool & Wolverine, to pose with his wife.
The couple’s Hollywood pals, Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt, 42, and Conclave actor Stanley Tucci, 64, also showed their support as they hugged Ms Lively at the party

The couple’s other Hollywood pals, Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt, 42, and Conclave actor Stanley Tucci, 64, also showed their support as they hugged Ms Lively at the party.
She also made the rare move of posing with her family while wearing a Tamara Ralph gown.
The Hollywood looker had her arms around her older sister Robyn, 53, who is on both Lioness and Landman.
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.
She has also played Ms Byland in the Blake’s movie It Ends With Us.
Blake Lively made the rare move of posing with her family at the Sunday premiere of her new movie, Another Simple Favor, held at Jazz inside the Lincoln Center in New York City .
Lively wowed as she posed up a storm
She was joined on the red carpet by her Another Simple Favor co-star Anna Kendrick
For the occassion, the 37-year-old Gossip Girl star wore her long blonde hair in romantic waves, nude lip gloss and a glamorous makeup look.
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.
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.
Another Simple Favor will be released on March 7

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.
In December, Ms Lively accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and starting a smear campaign against her. Baldoni firmly denies that and has sued her in response.
Their case is due to go to trial in March next year.
Another Simple Favour comes out on Prime Video on May 1 in the UK.
