Blake Lively celebrated New York
architecture and artistry with her
Met Gala 2022 look.
Arriving on the red carpet in a
custom Atelier Versace tulle column
dress embroidered with crystal,
metallic leather, paillette, and
tri-tone copper foil duchesse, an
oversized foiled bow at the waist
unraveled to reveal a second look
in Verdigris patina-mirroring the
transformation of New York's Statue
of Liberty from bronze to oxidized
green.
The long duchesse train features
a hand painted, foiled, and
embroidered celestial map inspired
by the 12 zodiac constellations
decorating the ceiling of Grand
Central Station. The original shape
of the dress draws inspiration from
American designer, Charles James,
while art deco shapes recall New
York landmarks like the Empire
State building.
