Santi Ramales / BACKGRID Spotted back on the Upper East Side: Blake Lively stepping back into the spotlight in sparkling fashion. Though the actress has been largely absent from the public eye since her recent legal battles, she’s proving that there’s nothing a little Chanel and a night out on the town can’t cure. Celebrating friend and jeweler Brent Neale at an UES fête, Lively slipped into a vintage navy sequined Chanel dress to support the brand’s latest holiday collection. The actress chose a vintage Chanel minidress for the occasion, with Christian Louboutin heels and a Chanel bag. Felipe Ramales / SplashNews.com She wore Brent Neale bow earrings for the celebration that cost nearly $39,000. Santi Ramales / BACKGRID The minidress featured a strapless silhouette with two large black satin bows that secured to her torso, designed by Karl Lagerfeld as part of the fall/winter 1994 collection. It was, in fact, a dress first worn by supermodel Christy Turlington down the runway in the ’90s. The original design, complete with a lace ruffle and camellia flower brooch that were removed from Lively’s look, is currently available on resale site 1stDibs for a cool $10,300. Lily-Rose Depp wore the full set to the “Idol” premiere in Cannes in 2023. Lively, meanwhile, added extra bling with $38,850 diamond-covered bow earrings from the Brent Neale. She slipped into clear PVC Christian Louboutin heels with black toe caps and ankle straps and carried a black Chanel bag ($6,400). Lively has been largely absent from public life amid her legal battles. GC Images The actress made her “Gossip Girl” character proud with her festive re-entry this week. GC Images Though the 39-year-old has certainly taken a hiatus from public life as of late, she made a brief appearance at the World Cup this past July, though her look was decidedly more casual for the outdoor sporting event. Earlier this year, she made a splash at May’s Met Gala, which she attended just hours after settling her court case with Justin Baldoni. And she brought the sparkle there, too, carrying a bedazzled bag featuring her children’s artwork. Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
