In a lighthearted tone, Lively jokingly expressed remorse to the designers for her fashion choices. Initially, she playfully apologized to Max Mara for the way she had tied the trench coat, quipping, “I’m the fifth Golden Girl,” but quickly added that the coat was indeed “divine.” 

Ushering in a new day: On Monday the travel ban — which was first put in place by former US President Donald Trump on account of the COVID-19 pandemic — was lifted by President Joe Biden after 20 months

She then jokingly apologized to the color pink for “cheating on my red look with this stunning @chanelofficial bag,” referring to her eye-catching striped purse.

 Lively concluded her humorous apologies by expressing regret to Blahnik for “painting the white jewels on my shoes with red nail polish as I was walking out the door,” accompanied by a questioning “worth it tho?” regarding the alteration she made to her shoes.

The specific shoes in question, red satin pumps with square diamond buckles, can be purchased on the Manolo Blahnik website for $995. Interestingly, a similar blue variation of the shoe was featured in the 2008 film “Sеx and the City.”

Big honor: She along with others had the honor of flipping the switch which controls the building's lights which were set to red white and blue in honor of the British flag for the evening

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on Tuesday, Lively discussed her newly launched line of non-alcоhоlic sparkling mixers and expressed her surprise at the positive reception they have received. 

Overjoyed: 'I've never felt more like a New Yorker than I do tonight, so thank you all for giving me this feeling,' Lively said in her speech at the event

She mentioned, “I’ve been very proud of [Betty Buzz] and it’s been really cool and overwhelming to see people’s responses to it,” highlighting the appreciation from non-drinkers.

The Betty Buzz collection includes five varieties: Tonic Water, Sparkling Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon Club Soda, Sparkling Lemon Lime, and Ginger Bееr. These beverages can be enjoyed on their own or mixed with alcоhоlic drinks.

Cheers: (left to right) Dixon, Lively, Jean-Yves Ghazi (president of the Empire State Building Observatory), Wade-Smith and Doyle were all seen toasting the end of one era and the beginning of another.

What a view! Lively was seen posing for a semi-cheesy photo as she pretended to hold balloons on the window of the observation deck.

New rules: Under the new rules, visitors can fly into the US with proof of full vaccination, though there are some exemptions for travelers under the age of 18, and passengers hailing from countries with low vaccine availability; (left to right) Lively, Doyle, Wade-Smith, Ghazi and Dixon
