Shaken but not stirred, Blake ropes in A-list friends for red carpet roles
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 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.
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.
