Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will reportedly skip the 2025 Met Gala, marking their third consecutive absence from fashion’s biggest night.
While speculation swirls around Lively’s ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, sources close to the couple confirm that their decision to miss Anna Wintour’s event was made well before the controversy surfaced.
Blake Lively, who attended the Met Gala ten times, last graced the event in 2022 as a co-chair alongside Reynolds, Regina King, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. That year, she stunned in a custom Atelier Versace gown that dramatically transformed on the steps of the Met Museum, leaving an indelible mark on the event’s history.
In 2024, the couple skipped the Met Gala, prioritizing family time with their children. They were recently seen together at SNL’s 50th anniversary celebration, signaling their focus on personal commitments.
This year’s Met Gala, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," will celebrate menswear and its evolving influence on fashion. The dress code is expected to allow for creative interpretations, giving attendees ample room to showcase unique styles.
