Blake Lively Attends World Cup Final After Missing Taylor Swift Wedding

Blake Lively is keeping her eye on the ball.

The Gossip Girl alum stepped out at the 2026 World Cup Final July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, weeks after skipping out on longtime friend Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce.

In a photo uploaded to her Instagram Stories July 19, Lively was all smiles as she posed for a selfie with friends. 

For the occasion, the 38-year-old repped Argentina—who lost 0-1 to Spain in the nail-biting match—donning blue jeans and a white tank top, which she pared with a blue and white striped button up, the colors of Argentina’s flag.

To top off her game day look, the Age of Adeline star wore layered blue necklaces and matching sunglasses. 

She attended the epic match with Kendall Glazer, Libby Glazer and Emma Gray.

Lively’s outing serves as her first public appearance since her and husband Ryan Reynolds‘ noticeable absence from Swift and Kelce’s July 3 nuptials at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where the couple hosted 1,000 attendees.
