Blake Lively Is All Smiles and Old Hollywood Waves at Brent Neale Jewelry Holiday Launch

Blake Lively made for a sparkling attendee at the launch of jeweler Brent Neale’s holiday collection in New York on Tuesday night. Held at Majorelle on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the launch marked one of Lively’s few high-profile appearances in recent months and brought in other celebrity attendees such as Michelle Williams.

The 39-year-old actress and beauty brand founder was dressed in a vintage blue sequined Chanel minidress which she paired with black cap-toe Louboutin heels and a black Chanel bucket bag. Bold statement earrings — the Pave Bow earrings from Neale’s Wrap It Up collection, her holiday capsule that was unveiled at the festivities — and a few choice rings rounded out her look.

North of Lively’s neckline, the glamour continued. The hair care company founder wore her signature blond hair in loose waves with a side part, reminiscent of Old Hollywood beauty. Lively tends to style her long locks in loose, tousled curls, making Tuesday’s look a fun twist on her usual hairdo. While no specific hairstylist has been credited for this specific transformation, Lively has often styled her own hair in the past, likely with a little help from her brand, Blake Brown Beauty, which she launched in 2024.

Rounding out her beauty for the night, Lively opted for a cinnamon-toned eye shadow and light pink blush strategically placed along the curve of her cheekbones. Lively’s skin appeared glowy and radiant, complemented by a soft pink lip.

Lively maintained a relatively low-profile summer, making Tuesday’s appearance her first public one in months. The actress was last photographed sporting blue and white at the FIFA World Cup final in July, in support of Argentina. Previously, she made a much-talked-about surprise return to the Met Gala in May, where she wore an archival Atelier Versace gown.

Festive glam has just begun, with stars starting to dress — and beautify — for the winter months and holiday season ahead. Take Serena Williams’ recently dyed icy blond locks, for example, or Demi Lovato’s dark and moody glam, both signals of the chilly times ahead.
