When Blake Lively goes to the Met Gala, she tends to make a splash. Who could forget the Versace gown she wore at the 2022 Met Gala, which first appeared to be a bronzy color, but changed as she ascended the steps, turning into a turquoise-and-rose-gold palette inspired by the patina of the Statue of Liberty?
The actor knows her way around a big red carpet moment, so will she be in attendance for Met Gala 2025? Find out below as we look back at Lively's Met Gala dress history.
Why Blake Lively isn't attending Met Gala 2025
So, will Blake Lively go to Met Gala 2025? The answer to your question is… probably not. It's been a few years since Lively walked the legendary stairs; her last Met Gala appearance was the aforementioned Versace dress year, 2022. Lively missed out on other Galas for various reasons, and it appears she may be out for the 2025 installment too.
According to TMZ, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are not attending the Met Gala. In March, the outlet reported that the celebrity couple had made the decision not to attend, but added that their alleged absence has “nothing to do" with the ongoing legal battle with Lively's It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.
