Met Gala 2022: Watch Blake Lively transform her dress on the red carpet

The actress is a co-host at the star-studded fashion event.

Blake Lively was one of the first stars to hit the red carpet at the 2022 Met Gala on Monday night.

On fashion's biggest night, the actress, who is a co-chair for the star-studded gala with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wore a custom gown from Versace.

Lively, who is never one to shy away from making a style statement at the annual event, stopped to take photographs in the red-toned gown, which featured a large bow, before walking further on the carpet and completely transforming her look.

With some assistance from three suited helpers, the actress' bow was untied, unveiling a long blue train.

While speaking with Vogue, Lively explained the inspiration for her look: "I arrived copper and then like New York City classic architecture, I patinaed," she said. "This dress is an homage to New York City and so many of the classic, iconic buildings."

The theme of the 2022 Met Gala is "In America: An Anthology of Fashion." Along with Lively and Reynolds, Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda are also co-chairs.
