Why Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds are skipping the 2025 Met Gala amid lawsuits—plus their iconic fashion history.
Why Will Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Not Attend the 2025 Met Gala?
According to PEOPLE, the A-list power couple will not be seen on the Met steps next year.
Even though they co-chaired the event in 2022, which was their final appearance, they are retiring once more.
The news was first reported by TMZ, which generated discussion about their priorities in the midst of a contentious legal dispute.
What is the theme for the 2025 Met Gala?
Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s Slaves to Fashion, Vogue debuted “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
By fusing clothing, art, and photography, the exhibit explores the development of Black dandyism since the 1700s.
This daring celebration of diasporic identity is being curated by Miller and Andrew Bolton.
How Did Blake Look Amazing at Her Most Recent 2022 Met Gala?
How does Lively look in Gilded Glamour? A Versace masterpiece that mimics the patina of the Statue of Liberty and has a reversible copper-to-aqua train.
She turned the stairway into a live art exhibit.
Ever the quintessential gentleman, Reynolds accessorized her style with a bow tie and velvet.
What is their history with the Met Gala?
They have ruled the carpet from their well-coordinated 2017 tux-and-gown magic to Blake’s halo-adorned 2018 solo appearance.
Their first appearance in 2014? Chic on the down low.
However, since 2022, they have substituted courtroom drama and more subdued moments for sequins.
Why Are They Not There?
A storm of legal action. A $400 million defamation lawsuit was filed against Lively, Reynolds, and their public relations team in response to her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.
Red carpets aren’t the first thing on people’s minds when depositions are approaching.
