The actress, 36, was spotted all glammed up while heading to dinner at hot spot Carbone alongside castmates Isabela Ferrer, Hasan Minhaj and Brandon Sklenar on Friday, June 28.
It’s unclear whether the cast was attending an event for the new film, but they appeared to be dressed to the nines as they walked together to the popular restaurant.
Lively, who plays lead character Lily Bloom, wore a sparkly light blue mini dress with a long jeans jacket over it while she walked alongside Minhaj in a red button up shirt and black slacks. Walking right behind her was Ferrer, who plays Lively’s younger counterpart in the movie. She could be seen wearing a black cutout dress with matching sparkly heels.

Sklenar, who plays the other romantic lead, Atlas Corrigan, brought up the rear of the group as he appeared to chat with actor Alex Neustaedter, who plays his younger version. The pair opted to wear casual clothes with Sklenar wearing an unbuttoned checkered shirt over a white shirt and slacks while Neustaedter sported a black sweater and purple corduroy pants.
Justin Baldoni, who directs the film and plays romantic lead Ryle Kincaid, and Jenny Slate, who also stars, seemed to be missing from the outing.
This outing comes a week after some fans attended an early screening of the film, which is an adaptation of author Colleen Hoover's 2016 book that went viral on TikTok. That event featured appearances by Sklenar and Ferrer, alongside Hoover, and appeared to garner positive audience reactions.
