Blake actively turns to the appearance of this met gala when her daughter is giving her “attitude”

Blake Lively knows how to straighten kids!Actress and fashion icons have broken down 19 looks from 2005 to the present as part trendIn the “Life in Looks” segment of, one particular Met Gala moment she says reminds her daughter of her boss.

“This is definitely my favorite look,” Lively said of the Versace gown worn on the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” -themed gala. “This is a Met Gala 2018, Versace dress. I’m deeply involved in dress design. I don’t know if it’s just that I’m Virgo or if I need a life.”

The iconic and dazzling burgundy gown looks a bit different from the short tops we saw in 2018, and Lively adds her creative touch.

“This is actually the dress they made, but there was a train like this. It was a shorter train,” she explained. “So we wore this dress and said,” Okay, can you add like an 8-foot train? Can you put beads on the inside? “There is shirring in the middle. , It looked too tight and pulled the hips, so “I need to pick up that pattern again so that it looks like part of the dress.'”

For the crown she wore that night, it was quite in time, and jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz made it out of brass and brown diamonds.

“And this was Lorraine’s headpiece made of these brown diamonds and brass. It was brass, not gold. It was like the brass of a bendable hardware store.” Emerald earrings that have also been treated. “These earrings she made the night before. She picked up these giant emeralds and stuck them on one of her sisters, Offira’s Shielded Gold Earrings. She put the emeralds on her. I pasted it, so it was very in time. “

She continued. She said, “Christian Louboutin made her most beautiful shoes. I like this look very much. I just thought it was very impressive.”

Lively’s three daughters, James (7 years old), Inez (5 years old) and Betty (2 years old) are also impressive. The 34-year-old actress uses her powerful ensemble to remind her exactly who her mother is.

“It’s like” this is your mom “when my kids are giving me an attitude. I mean, I’m a real royal family and I’m trying to tell them that I’m lucky to raise them. ” “They don’t buy it. They don’t believe it.”

The Met Gala moment of the year was also lively — another Versace wonder. Lively, one of the co-chairs of the year, explained the New York City inspiration behind her dress and the change in her head-turning outfit.

“I’m honored to be able to host and wear this dress. Versace has revealed it.” Lively shared before diving into the meaning behind the look. “I wanted to see architecture, not fashion from the golden age. Newyork was a very important part of who I am. It’s the place I chose to live in. It’s the love of my life outside of my family. So I thought. To a large extent — this is oxidized copper. “

She continued. “The Statue of Liberty clearly appeared in shiny copper like a penny, and now we have green. So instead of I acting, I wanted a dress to play. It is. “

That’s not the only dress detail that was a call to New York. The whole line and draping also symbolized the iconic American city.

“This row of dresses, the lines in it, are a homage to the Empire State Building. The drapes on the sides are for the tip of the hat to the Statue of Liberty,” before sharing details about the green numbers. Actively said about the appearance of her copper. “And this is the ceiling of the constellation at Grand Central Station. Grand Central is a kind of really because it’s a shot at Grand Central Station when the first shot of” Gossip Girl “gets on the train and pulls to the station. It felt like a nice full circle moment. “

Talking to ET Rachel Smith on the red carpet, she explained her inspiration for the general design of the ensemble.

“I saw the architecture of New York City for this event, and I liked the patina of copper,” she shared. “I asked Versace if it could be done, and they said,” Oh God, OK, let’s do it! “And we did. “

Taking off the dress wasn’t the easiest, as Lively shared that the dress was “quite heavy.”
