Spotted: Blake Lively out in New York City.
The Gossip Girl alum made her first public appearance in three months on Sept. 5 at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she participated in Glossy’s discussion about the beauty industry.
For the occasion, she wore a see-through top under a brown blazer, matching pleated skirt and knee-high boots with brass buckles.
And Blake had the support of a friend for her rare outing, sharing on social media she was touched to learn that Megababe founder Katie Sturino stayed behind from a previous panel to “cheer” her on. Resharing a photo the influencer took from the event, Blake wrote on Instagram Stories that this “is what girls lifting each other up looks like.”
“I love and appreciate you @katiesturino,” the 38-year-old continued, “as a founder, as a woman, as a friend.”
And though husband Ryan Reynolds wasn’t by her side, Blake also made sure to give him a shoutout as he traveled to the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of John Candy: I Like Me, a documentary that he produced.
