blake lively dress Chose Archival Versace—and a 13-Foot Train!—for Her 2026 Met Gala Return Blake Lively blooms through NYC

What about Warm-Weather Black Tie

She just was who she was, and part of her appeal came from not trying to be anything other than herself

A reliable starting set might include a black midi or maxi for upscale and formal dinners, a soft slip-style dress for casual neighborhood dates, a sophisticated jumpsuit for venues where you want to feel polished and comfortable, a wrap or fit-and-flare in a flattering color for romantic dinners, and one more elevated piece for special occasion dates

Exposed boning is covered by a layered tulle and leafy lace appliqu that give this gown an ultra modern feel, and a small row of fabric-covered buttons fall nicely atop the zipper

This Shell Stitch Baby Dress is made in only one piece, from shoulder to hem
