Blake Lively's Met Gala Look Included a Giant Bow—and Even Ryan Reynolds Was Surprised

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds sure made an entrance at tonight's Met Gala.

The It couple of every Hollywood event arrived at the Met's event, where they were both co-chairs, alongside Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda, looking love-struck and very golden.

Lively wore a floor-length rose gold gown with a shimmering geometric design and a giant bow. She even topped off the look with long pink and blue earrings by Lorraine Schwartz, rose gold gloves, and a tiara. She looked every bit like a glamorous present—but the surprises didn't stop there. While she was on the red carpet steps, Met Gala assistants untied her bow to reveal the bright sky-blue train that was hiding underneath. And her rose gold gloves turned blue on the bottom half too. Double-sided gown or optical illusion?

The Adam Project actor, who kept it simple in a classic suit and white bowtie, seemed just as shocked as everyone upon seeing his wife's intricate ensemble. Cue the Twitter reactions.

Lively and Reynolds, who married in 2012, walked their first red carpet together in 2014 as a couple at that year's Met Gala—in coordinating Gucci looks. The Gossip Girl actress wore a silk chiffon blush Gucci Première gown, while Reynolds looked sharp in a suit from the Italian fashion house.

They have since become red-carpet regulars, and Lively—who is her own stylist—never disappoints with her looks.

"I have control issues and a big ego—that's probably the honest answer [for why I won't hire a stylist]," she told WWD in 2018. "I just like it. I love design and I love fashion and it's a way to be creative. In my job I get to be creative, but it's over a period of time and so many other people are involved, whereas this is a beginning, middle and end, and I get to be creative and there's an end date in the near future. It's the same reason why I like doing my friends' hair and makeup or cooking—you get to be creative and finish it."
