Blake Lively returns to the Met Gala in Versace for the first time since 2022.
The 38-year-old Gossip Girl alum walked the red carpet at the 2026 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 4) in New York City.
What is Blake Lively wearing at Met Gala 2026?
For fashion’s biggest night, Blake wore an archival Versace piece from spring 2006.
“Blake looks stunning in archive Atelier Versace,” Donatella Versace exclusively tells Vogue. “She has had so many iconic Versace moments at the Met, and tonight is no exception.”
The pastel gown is inspired by 18th-century Venetian Rococo paintings and featured a draped bodice embroidered with gemstones, plus a 13-foot train!
She paired the outfit with Christian Louboutin heels, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and a Judith Leiber bag.
Everything to know about this year’s Met Gala
The Met Gala is the biggest night in fashion every year and you can expect hundreds of A-List celebrities to be in attendance. The gala is celebrating the Met’s Costume Art exhibition, which “explores the ‘centrality of the dressed body’ through depictions and interpretations of the human form in the Met’s extensive collection.” The dress code this year is “Fashion is Art” and the co-chairs for the gala are Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Ahead of the Met Gala, the news broke that Blake and Justin Baldoni had finally settled their It Ends With Us lawsuit. More details here.
