Dressed impeccably, they embraced an aesthetic that, while subtle in its coordination, harmonized in spirit. Blake, known for her fashion-forward choices, stunned in a white polka dot midi-dress, paired with matching tights and classic Mary Jane heels.

According to People, this evening was more than just a night out; it was a thoughtful surprise planned by Lively for her husband.
