It was mom and dad’s night out for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, although each for very different purposes. The couple are spending the weekend in California for different reasons.
Blake, 37, stepped out on Saturday night, November 2, for the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in a stunning ensemble, a dazzling counter to her chic and sleek white Michael Kors Collection dress from the CFDA Fashion Awards earlier this week.
She opted for a beautiful Tamara Ralph bronzed chainmail mini dress covered in rose gold, pink and topaz crystals, complete with an opulent and dramatic ruffled tangerine cape.
Blake sported lavender jewel-encrusted strappy heels with bouncy curls, likely courtesy of her own brand of haircare, Blake Brown Beauty.
Several other A-listers were seen at the event, including Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Chloë Sevigny, Kaia Gerber, Laura Dern, Andrew Garfield, plus performers for the night Charli XCX and Troye Sivan. Although, one notable absence? Ryan himself.
He, 48, meanwhile attended a private screening and Q&A of Deadpool & Wolverine in LA alongside his two best friends, co-star Hugh Jackman and the movie’s director Shawn Levy, although the latter also attended the LACMA Gala later that night.
The Canadian-American entrepreneur shared some outtakes from the screening on Instagram and captioned it: “Nice having the whole family under one roof today.”
Prior to their Californian adventures, though, the couple, who are usually based in New York with their four children (they spend time with their family in either their Manhattan loft or their Pound Ridge colonial in upstate New York), did their due diligence by first stepping out to the booth and casting their vote for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election.

They posted a fall-appropriate selfie sporting their “I Voted” stickers, and Blake captioned it: “Spent Halloween participating in democracy & equality for women! Getting an ‘I Voted’ sticker was more exciting than candy.”

Ryan, however, was also overwhelmed on Halloween to see how many people this year were dressed up like Deadpool and Wolverine, in honor of his movie from July that has already become the second highest grossing release of the year.

“I’m suddenly five years old, staring out the window at some impossible future,” he continued to gush. “People wore the best suits and costumes I’ve ever seen. Quoting lines, laughing and performing stunts.”
