Justin Baldoni & Blake Lively Arrive For Court Battle Accidentally Twinning

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni may not see eye to eye about what happened on “It Ends With Us,” but they seem to have similar tastes in fashion.

The feuding co-stars shocked onlookers during their court-ordered settlement conference, stepping out in similar ensembles. The unintentional color coordination naturally raised eyebrows.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been butting heads since December 2024, when the “Gossip Girl” star dropped a bombshell lawsuit against the actor/director. She accused him of sexual harassment, running a smear campaign against her, and more.

On Wednesday, February 11, Lively and Baldoni arrived at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for a settlement conference in similar colors. On her end, Lively radiated confidence in a baggy olive-green suit.

Lively paired the number with a green striped sweater vest and a pink striped button-up shirt. She accessorized with a matching green bag, and a five-leaf clover pin could be seen hanging from the suit’s breast pocket, as seen in pictures shared by The Daily Mail.

On the other hand, Baldoni rocked a stylish olive-green coat with a beige scarf hanging from his neck. He paired the outfit with fitted gray trousers and walked hand-in-hand with his wife, Emily. As for Lively, her beau, Ryan Reynolds, was nowhere to be seen.

While Baldoni might have chosen an olive-green coat without much thought, Lively’s suit seemed to hold meaning. She appeared to have showcased her husband’s support despite his absence by wearing a suit that matched his.

Fans may recall that Reynolds donned an olive-green suit and a pink shirt at the New York premiere of Lively and Baldoni’s “It Ends With Us” movie in August 2024. He also donned a pink flower pin on the suit jacket, matching the five-leaf clover pin Lively accessorized with for good luck.

Lively and Baldoni’s court appearance stemmed from an order by Judge Sarah L Cave. The legal umpire gave the feuding pair a last chance to settle their differences through a settlement conference or brace themselves for a May 18 trial.

Days before the settlement conference, The Blast reported that sources claimed several celebrities were tired of being dragged into Baldoni and Lively’s legal drama. These stars became known when 181 pages of court documents were unsealed.

The list included high-profile names such as Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, and Matt Damon, with sources noting that these stars were frustrated with their inclusion in the drama. “There’s a sense of, ‘Why am I being dragged into this?’ It’s created unnecessary stress and irritation,” an insider alleged.

They added that those who weren’t involved in the situation similarly feared “getting mentioned or dragged into public speculation” just by associating with Lively and Baldoni. On that note, sources claimed A-listers were keeping their distance from the pair to avoid controversy.

Weeks before the court-ordered settlement conference, The Blast covered shocking allegations from Lively’s driver, Kevin Alexander. His testimony was part of the unsealed deposition from the case, which made waves in January 2026.

Alexander recalled having a “very uncomfortable” interaction with Baldoni, recalling that it happened while he was driving the director, Lively, and another person. He claimed Baldoni suddenly started discussing his sexual relationships with women.

According to Lively’s driver, Baldoni said, “he was forced on, and he forced himself on women.” Alexander noted that the revelation was so disturbing that it took his focus off driving, and he immediately warned Lively about Baldoni after dropping him off.

In more revelations shared in January, The Blast reported that an alleged email sent by Sony Pictures Entertainment senior marketing executive Danni Maggin had expressed concerns about Baldoni’s behavior.

The unsealed email dated August 5, 2024, captured Maggin complaining about Baldoni’s comments in an interview. The executive labeled the “Jane The Virgin” star “a moron,” claiming he his words were “basically alluding to ‘raping’ Atlas out of Lily,” their characters in the movie.

Maggin added that Baldoni “shouldn’t do any more press” given his concerning descriptions of the scenes in the movie. The executive’s words echoed the instructions in a Sony marketing plan included in Lively’s lawsuit, where the cast was instructed to discuss the movie in ways that didn’t feel heavy or sad.
