But there was one thing Blake revealed in her most recent Vogue interview that made me go, "OK, that's a lot, c'mon now."

She matches the carpet every year.

"It's just a crazy thing where I match the carpet every year," she says.

"This year, because I'm hosting, I went to Anna and said 'there's a lot of pressure, I really need to match the carpet.'"

Sooo, because I'm nosy, I decided to look into this and see if Blake *actually* matches the carpet every year.

So, just FYI, Blake has been to the Met Gala pretty much more than anyone.

She's been going since 2008.

Up until 2016, the Met Gala carpet was a traditional red.

But since 2016, the carpet changes colors every year, and yes, my research has confirmed that Blake Lively has matched it ever since.

In 2016, Blake wore this pink and red gown.
