New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art opened 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,' featuring sacred artifacts on loan from the Vatican, with the Met Gala Monday. The look perfectly mirrored the types of dresses one would see royalty wear during the Middle Ages or Renaissance period, making her look like a literal work of art.īut the details didn't stop there.
The bodice was actually the piece that took 600 hours to embroider, so you can only imagine how much more work went into the skirt detailing.
The bodice of the dress was even more impressive, where it was completely beaded with a dizzying design of stripes and curves, making it look like a jewel-encrusted corset. John Lamparski/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images While all of these were beautiful and impressive, one of the biggest red carpet standouts was Lively. We had Nicki Minaj channel the devil in a fiery red dress with a sweeping train, Lily Collins was a Gothic nun in a structured, sheer gown, Kate Bosworth was an ascending Mary with her white glittering dress and veil, and Chadwick Boseman had definite Pope vibes with his white caped tuxedo with cross embellishments. There are many different aspects of Christian art that one could have channeled, and the red carpet explored all of them. Because of that honor, the guests are expected to come with an outfit that interprets the theme, and this year people went all out. Known as fashion's biggest night for 70 years now, each spring Anna Wintour handpicks the most influential people in the fashion world to attend the fundraiser that kicks off the exhibit launch.

Each point of the symbol included an extended initial-B (for Blake), R (for Ryan), J (for daughter James) and I (for youngest daughter Ines).This year's Met Gala was one of the most creative red carpets yet, where celebs really dug in and had fun with the theme. The piece, a custom clutch by Judith Leiber embellished with rhinestones, included a call-out to the Lively-Reynolds household in the design of a cross. With the accessory, Lively nodded to the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” as well as her adorable family of four. The star’s glittering, embroidered gown took more than 600 hours to make, and while that piece was up front and center against the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it was Lively’s clutch that added a sentimental touch to her ensemble at this year’s Met Ball.
Lively, with her voluminous skirt, arrived on a bus alongside legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin. The Age of Adaline beauty did not disappoint at this year’s party in a custom, oxblood-hued gown by Versace, featuring a gloriously long train. While Ryan Reynolds was noticeably missing from the 2018 Met Gala on Monday, May 7, his wife, Blake Lively, very subtly and adorably paid tribute to the actor and their two daughters via a hidden message embedded within her outfit.
