The couple that cohosts together, stays together. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were all smiles at the 2022 Met Gala before turning on the charm as the event’s co-chairs.
The Age of Adaline star, 34, wore an elaborate Atelier Versace gown to the event on Monday, May 2, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, while her husband, 45, wore a traditional white-tie tuxedo.
Lively’s dress began as a copper column with an oversized bow at the bustle, but after she snapped a few photos in that look, an assistant untied the bow to reveal a blue-green skirt with a flowing train. The teal color was meant to evoke the Statue of Liberty, while the jeweled bodice was inspired by the Art Deco architecture of the Empire State Building. The skirt also featured embroidery designed to resemble the constellations painted on the ceiling at New York City’s Grand Central Station.
In March, the Gossip Girl alum and Reynolds were announced as two of the gala’s cohosts. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, will be joined by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Regina King as they emcee the star-studded night.
