Blake Lively got invited to the Met Gala this year. Surprised? Don’t be. Blake is one of Anna Wintour’s favorite young Fashion Girls, and designers clamor to dress Blake for whatever reason. Blake wore this Gucci gown, probably because she’s currently the face of a Gucci fragrance. While the dress isn’t punk AT ALL, I was surprised to discover that I didn’t hate it at all. In the thumbnails, I thought she might have been wearing Marchesa, so I’m glad she wasn’t and I think this Gucci is probably what Marchesa is trying to achieve with many of their ball gown looks. This dress fits Blake beautifully, it’s interesting and the only think I would change would be her slicked-back hair. This would have been a good awards show look, either for the Globes or the Oscars.
And here’s Blake’s casting nemesis, Rooney Mara. Hahaha, Rooney Mara wore Givenchy, just like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Madonna. Rooney must have been horrified!!! HOW GAUCHE. God, Givenchy had some of the absolute WORST looks on the red carpet, right? And I can’t believe they dressed both co-chairs (Beyonce and Rooney) so terribly. This dress looks like a goth wedding look made from a repurposed doily.

It hurts me to say it, because I really dislike Blake, but that dress is one of my favorite looks from last night. Boooo
I don’t hate the dress but what’s up with her boobs? One looks bigger than the other. Don’t these people have stylist who tag along behind them on the red carpet to make sure everything is where it’s supposed to be?
It looks like Blake lost about 10lbs. Her fake tatas are more obvious without the natural cushioning a little fat provides. She looks good, but shouldn’t lose anymore weight, the arms are already starting to look spindly.
i think its just the angle.. blake defiantly has one of the best boob jobs in the business. It looks like she is sporting chipped black nail polish? im sure shes not but that would be pretty punk if she was!
I love Rooney. So interesting and so genuinely talented – that being said though, the dress and the dark lipstick is giving off more of a goth vibe than anything, I think people just substituted “punk” for “goth” in their minds. Rooney does look amazing though.
+1.. She’s said some stupid stuff in interviews but wins me back when I watch her in movies. I love her!
Really? Did you see Side Effects? Her acting was okay, but I didn’t like the film at all.
Me too. I really like her and I actually don’t mind her dress too much.
I completely disagree about Rooney – I think she nailed the look of the night and still looked classy. I would never wear the dress, but it’s so right for the night.
I agree, the dress and look suits her perfectly. I think the top of Blake’s dress looks like the cheap tube tops I used to wear in grade 5
@Lucy
I totally agree! I hate that Gucci dress. It’s like a tube top with a bunch of vinyl leaves stuck on it. Yuck!
Mara looks the part.
But it’s not punk; it’s coming to the stage next… (stripper reference).
I can appreciate the fact that at least Rooney she made some effort with the theme, and I see where she was going with the metallic zippers.
Blake made no effort whatsoever.
I think Rooney’s dress is one of the best of the night. It just should have been on someone else.
Did Blake get new boobs? I don’t remember them being that big
I think she has new nose… her face looks different
I think Blake has lost weight, which accounts for both changes. Since she has less padding elsewhere in that area, the (IMO) fake boobs stick out more. Her nose looks different because her face is more angular.
Rooney looks great, but I feel like she’s worn that dress before.
The Side Effect Girls. LOL
Blake looks lovely. I like it
The lower case of the dress is more goth than punk.
But she’s starting to go the Lollipop look.
Blake dear have a hamburger.
I do like Ronney’s outfit. She seems to be someone who could fit the ‘new Winona Ryder’ mantle
Only it seems she has been in Lisbeth mode for sooo long the theme/dress is all deja vu.
I absolutely love Blake’s dress.
Me too–LOVE the dress. She looks awesome–just not sure that it’s really punk ya know? Would have been cool to see her do something a little edgier but she strikes me as the kind of girl who always has to look pretty and feminine.
I love Rooney’s dress. It’s from several seasons ago rather than being custom made specifically for her for this event.
I like both dresses but do not care for the women in them. I hate to say because I love Ricardo Tisci but: he should just stick to daywear. His evening looks are either disasters or tacky messes that could possibly be redeemed with some tailoring and a better celebrity to but the dress on.
What’s the bit of dark (red?) material at the top of Rooney’s right leg?
I’d almost say a garter, but it’s far too angled. I can’t figure out what it is supposed to be.
I normally have boob-envy when I see pictures of Blake but this dress kind of kills them.
Mara’s dress is cool.
I would be more impressed by Rooney’s look if she hadn’t been dressing like this nonstop since the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo came out.
Man, Rooney Mara just makes me so stabby…
The *corpse bride* look has been done to death (no pun intended).
let me get this out of the way, Blake looked nice…
Rooney’s dress looked the best out of all of the Givenchy dressess last night, I like her look.
I am fixated on the lady’s hair in the background of Blake’s photo..its HUGE.
Deleting my previous comment — I was wrong!
Blake’s face looks different. Is it the fake eyelashes? Smokin’ hot bod.
Rooney creeps me out.
Rooney Mara needs to find a new facial expression.
blake’s boobs must be in pain

Thanks for the link.
Love her hair, though. (the back view of it)
Beautiful dress, beautiful body, horrible face and personality this girl is so boring go back to the suburbs with your fake boobs.
Rooney Mara looks like a ghost.
how is blake rooney’s acting equal in any way?
Blake looks pretty, great body too.
And I prefer Rooney’s dress than the other godawful Givenchy dresses that other celebs wore.
Why does Blake always look like she’s about to fall backward?
Woo, Ryan Reynolds let her out of the house! But he picked her outfit.
Oh Rooney… This should have been your night to shine sister! I expected so much of her! Several of her past choices would have worked so much better than this. It is goth in white, not punk-influenced at all. Ah well, the dress at least is decent enough.
I HATE Blake’s dress. I hate all dresses in this style. There’s something so garish about this style of dress. Ugh. That baby blue with the black is awful. It’s total ice-skater/princess crap.
