Blake Lively has been awarded $407,000 (about £299,000) in attorneys' fees and costs after a US federal judge cut her more than $8 million (about £5.8 million) request to a small fraction of the amount sought.

The order covers part of the cost of defending Justin Baldoni's dismissed defamation and extortion case, rather than damages over the parties' underlying dispute.
