Blake Lively, known for her iconic appearances at the Met Gala, was notably absent from this year's event. The 2024 Met Gala, themed 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' saw a star-studded lineup including Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny as co-chairs. The absence of Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, was felt by many fans.
Blake, who has attended the Met Gala around 10 times, missed the event for the second consecutive year due to her busy schedule. She has been filming 'A Simple Favor 2' in Italy with Anna Kendrick and working on the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel 'It Ends With Us' in New York.
Over the years, Blake has become a Met Gala mainstay with her memorable fashion choices. In 2022, she stunned in a custom Versace gown inspired by the Statue of Liberty, adhering to the event's 'Gilded Glamour' dress code. The gown featured a copper bow and a dramatic train, paying homage to New York City's iconic landmark.
In 2018, Blake embraced the 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination' theme with another Versace creation, complete with a mesmerizing train and a custom-made halo. Her attention to detail and personal involvement in the design process have made her a standout on the Met Gala red carpet.
While Blake's absence was notable, other regular attendees like Rihanna, Kate Moss, Beyoncé, Solange, and Taylor Swift were also missed at this year's event. Despite the absence of some familiar faces, the 2024 Met Gala continued to be a showcase of glamour and creativity in the world of fashion.
