Blake Livelyis the undisputed queen of theMet Gala!
The actress, entrepreneur and style tastemaker, 34, gave fans an intimate look at her pre-Met Gala dress in a series of Instagram photos on Wednesday – which she hilariously admitted she took on a self-timer – giving a shout out to designer Thom Browne in the caption.
“Let’s take it back to the ‘night before’ party. A little hint of things to come🗽 thanks to @thombrowne,” she wrote, adding, “Yes I took these on a self timer bc everyone was asleep when I got home at 9. Sorry outfit. You deserved better.”
In the first photo, Lively can be seen posing in a stunning body-hugging, one-shoulder sequin gown split with a sleeveless pinstripe suit on the bodice, while the second photo shows a close-up look at the detailing of the dress.

The photos also offer a glimpse at her and husbandRyan Reynolds' stunning home, which features gorgeous wooden beams, an exposed brick wall, neutral decor, and an arched doorway.
Lively’s pre-Met Gala look wasn’t the only show-stopping piece she wore in honor of the big event, in which she and Reynolds served asco-chairsalongside Oscar-winnerRegina Kingand Broadway superstarLin-Manuel Miranda.
The actress stunned in a copper Atelier Versace gown, which paid homage to the city of New York andfeatured a reversible train, which the mom of three flipped halfway up the Met stairs, revealing an aqua side that cascaded down behind her.

“I thought instead of looking to fashion to influence the dress, I looked to New York City architecture and the classic buildings,” she also told reporters on the red carpet, adding that she worked closely with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to help tell her Met style story.
