The first Monday in May is here.

Last year you might remember Kim Kardashian stealing the show with her head-to-toe all-black outfit.

This year, the theme is a little less avant-garde and more royal.

So it only makes sense that people seriously dressed for the occasion.

People can’t stop talking about one of the first people to arrive on the Met Gala red carpet.

When you see the stunning transformation, you’ll know why.

Or should we saydresses.

In fact,Ryan Reynolds himself was absolutely stunned.

Lively arrived wearing a stunning blush pink embellished gown but walked up the stairs in a gorgeous aqua-colored look.

So if you’re wondering what the Gilded Ages were all about, it’s exactly this.

From the colors to the design, this piece was prosperous and royal in every possible way.

As the host of the Met Gala, Lively definitely did her homework.
