A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s Event

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds hit the red carpet on Saturday evening for the A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s Event benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research at The Waldorf Astoria in NYC.

The couple, who recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary, smiled as they posed with Chris Martin, Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox. Lively, 26, stunned in a floral print Oscar de la Renta dress while her husband looked dapper in a navy suit.

The actress recently opened up about her high school graduation during an event at the White House on Nov. 8, where she talked to students about the realities of working in the film industry. Lively wasn’t allowed to walk at her graduation because she missed too many days of school while filming “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.”

“They didn’t let me do that because they wanted to shut me down,” she told students, per US News (via People). “I thought I tricked them,” she added of landing a role on “Gossip Girl.” “I was excited to get free food on set.”
