Blake Lively’s Best Met Gala Looks Through The Years

Blake Lively’s Best Met Gala Looks Through The Years — It is no secret that Blake Lively has the best style ever, and she’s proved that time and time again with all of her gorgeous Met Gala looks throughout the years. From her very first gala in 2008, where she wore this stunning strapless black Ralph Lauren gown with feathers galore(left), to the 2018 event, where she donned this custom Versace gown that took up the entire Met steps (right) – Blake always makes a statement on the red carpet.

The blonde beauty made sure to impress during the 2022 gala, where she was one of the evening’s co-chairs along with husband Ryan Reynolds. There, she brought the drama with a metallic look by one of her favorite designers, Versace. The dress was a tribute to the art and architecture of New York.
