Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Skip 2025 Met Gala

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will not attend the 2025 Met Gala, marking their third consecutive year of absence from the event. Despite ongoing legal battles involving Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, sources confirm their decision to skip the gala was made prior to these developments. The couple last attended in 2022 when they served as co-chairs, and their absence is attributed to a desire for privacy and family time. Lively, known for her memorable Met Gala appearances, has made ten appearances, with her 2022 gown being particularly iconic. This year’s Met Gala theme is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book, with a focus on Black men's fashion. The event remains one of the most anticipated nights in fashion, despite notable absences.
