- She looked like a princess in her intricate, billowing gown.
Blake Lively is an undisputed fashion icon who always stands out on the red carpet. Lively, who styles herself because she has "control issues," is always impeccably dressed. And her 2018 Met Gala outfit was no exception.
On Monday evening, the actor arrived at the event, which was themed "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & the Catholic Imagination," in a truly glamorous dress that took 600— yes, 600! — hours to make, as E! reported.
Every hour was worth it — Lively looked like a princess in her glamorous, billowing gown.
"This year's may be my favorite dress ever," she told Vogue of her gown prior to the event. "They've already worked on it for 600 hours, and it's not done."
As for the rest of her outfit? Lively paired her one-of-a-kind dress with custom-made jewelry courtesy of her close friend Lorraine Schwartz.
"I just sent Lorraine Schwartz and Christian Louboutin my dress, and said, 'OK let's do something special,'" Lively told Women's Wear Daily. "They're making something custom for it. So it's kind of nice, because I have a bunch of artists around me who I have direct relationships with."
People are obsessed with her look.
