The SAG Awards were full of dazzling moments, but one unexpected highlight stole the spotlight, Leighton Meester and Kristen Bell’s mini Gossip Girl reunion. Fans of the iconic show were thrilled to see Blair Waldorf herself and the voice of Gossip Girl bask in the glory of their long-standing friendship.
As cameras flashed and social media went into a frenzy, the two stars seemed to be having the time of their lives. Through their natural charisma, Meester and Bell effortlessly commanded attention, making it clear that their legacies in television history are far from forgotten.
The evening wasn’t just about nostalgia, though. The two actresses also took time to celebrate the achievements of their fellow stars and share their excitement at one of the biggest nights in the industry. Fans couldn’t get enough of their playful interactions, reigniting the desire for a proper Gossip Girl reunion, if only for a special appearance or two.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni make headlines for the wrong reasons
While her former co-stars thrived at the SAG Awards, Blake Lively found herself dealing with an unexpected career hurdle, Justin Baldoni. The former Gossip Girl star was headed in the right direction. With both Lively and Baldoni deeply invested in the legal battle, it has not only impacted their working relationship but has also stalled their career.
With both stars knee-deep in courtroom chaos, their careers have hit an unexpected pause button, much to the frustration of fans and, presumably, their accountants. Studios are hesitant to sign them for new projects, fearing the legal drama will overshadow actual on-screen drama.
Lively, who was on the verge of locking in major roles, now finds herself in an awkward waiting game, while Baldoni’s behind-the-camera ventures have been put on ice. Until this legal saga wraps up, the only scripts they’ll be studying are court documents, probably with a lot fewer plot twists than they’d prefer.
A night of celebration for some, a night of reflection for others
While Blake Lively sorts out her next move, Leighton Meester and Kristen Bell’s delightful SAG Awards moment proves that the Gossip Girl universe is alive and well, just without its former leading lady in the mix.
As fans continue to celebrate the duo’s reunion, it’s clear that the real winners of the night weren’t just those taking home awards, but those reliving the magic of a bygone TV era.
For Lively’s fans, however, the night was a bittersweet reminder of her absence from the spotlight. Once a central figure in the entertainment industry, her current struggles have left many wondering when, and how, she’ll make her big return. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, with some fans calling her out, some offering support and others just enjoying the reunion.
Gossip Girl can be streamed on Netflix.
