About Blake Lively's appearance at Met Gala 2022

The theme of Met Gala 2022 was 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion'. The dress code for the event was Gilded Glamour. Blake Lively walked on the red carpet wearing Atelier Versace. She initially wore a shimmery rose gold gown with an extravagant dramatic bow. The outfit was inspired by Manhattan's architecture and paid tribute to the Empire State Building. 

The gigantic bow was then untied to reveal a blue trail. She also removed her rose-hued gloves to reveal a blue pair of gloves. Her look was completed with a seven-tier crown. While the dress' design was inspired by the constellation decor at Grand Central station, her crown symbolised the Statue of Liberty. Take a look at the outfit below.
