PEOPLE It’s one of the most popular stair climbs on the planet: the Metropolitan Museum of Art gala in New York kicked off this Monday, May 2, with an extravagant parade of stars for a philanthropic evening, after two editions disrupted by the pandemic.

The dress code of the Met Gala 2022 this party among the most selective on the planet: Gilded glamour, words that refer to the Gilded Age, the American golden age of the end of the 19th century.

YouTuber Emma Chamberlain arrived in the premieres in a sublime Louis Vuitton dress, followed by the high priestess of the event, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Anna Wintour, in a Chanel dress.

They were closely followed by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who – along with Oscar-winning actress Regina King and comedian and musician Lin-Manuel Miranda – co-chaired the evening. The star couple stunned immediately, with Lively’s dress stealing the show from other looks, as you can see in the video at the top of the article.

The dress, created by Versace, had many facets. First composed of pink and copper golds, the garment unveiled in the middle of the steps a long shimmering light blue train.

Instead of looking to fashion to inspire the dress, I looked to New York architecture, she explains on the red carpet. Its crown reminiscent of that of the Statue of Liberty, its bust the Empire State Building and its train the ceiling of Grand Central Station.
