The bow of Blake Lively’s pink Atelier Versace dress hid a fashion surprise, turning the dress blue
May 03, 2022 - 00:20 BST Natalie Salmon Blake Lively made a case for the art of the ‘outfit change’ on the steps of the Met Gala this evening.
This year’s Met Gala co-chair may have started off the evening in a pink couture confection, but halfway up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts the bow of her Atelier Versace dress was ‘unwrapped’ by several waiting assistants to reveal a blue skirt, making for a truly dramatic red carpet surprise.Blake began the evening in a pink dress
Blake gave us serious Sleeping Beauty vibes with her outfit. Namely the sequence in the titular Disney animated classic where fairies Flora and Merryweather have a disagreement on what the colour the dress should be, and keep changing Auroras dress from pink to blue. Blake accessorised her Versace gown with elbow length gloves, and a decadent tiara which was a nod to the theme of the evening.
The gala this evening marks the launch of an exhibition entitled 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', a historical retrospective documenting how American fashion has evolved. The dress code, 'Gilded Glamour and White Tie' focuses on the Gilded Age, a major period of economic growth in American history. The outfit made her look every bit the 1900’s New York socialite, which the era is associated with.
Every year at the Met Gala there seems to be a major ‘dress transformation’ moment. Zendaya had it in 2019 with her stylist Law Roach as her ‘Fairy Godfather.’ With a flick of his wand Roach illuminated her Tommy Hilfiger dress - creating a standout Cinderella moment. Lady Gaga hired a five-strong person dance troupe to reveal 4 spectacular Brandon Maxwell looks on her way up the stairs of the Met Gala. The first hot pink look had a 25-foot train, natch.
