April 25 (UPI) — Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively and The Substance star Demi Moore were among “the most influential people of 2025” who attended the TIME100 gala Thursday.
Lively, 37, wore a pink, off-shoulder Zuhair Murad dress with a train. She was accompanied by her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.
“The Blake Lively I know is a philanthropist and a student of our country’s most intractable problems,” civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill previously said in a tribute for TIME. “She and her husband Ryan Reynolds reached out in 2019 to make a contribution to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund… Blake is a serious person. She’s a risk taker. And she’s committed to moving this country forward. For her children. And for mine.”
Lively was honored as a Titan alongside Serena Williams, Ed Bastian, Lorne Michaels, Simone Biles, Doug McMillon, Miuccia Prada, Percival Everett, Ted Sarandos, Joe Rogan, Lisa Su, Mark Zuckerberg, Bonnie Y Chan, Alex Karp, Jonathan Greenblatt and Stephen J. Squeri.
