Blake Lively Just Wore a Dress Fit for the Met Gala Theme

While I'm eagerly anticipating everyone's 2024 Met Gala looks, there's one person I'm holding out my highest hopes for: Blake Lively. The undisputed queen of the Met Gala always goes all in with her outfits according to each year's theme, and I hope this year will be no exception.

I could be wrong, but it's possible she just hinted at her look for the first Monday in May. Why do I say that? As you may know, the exhibition's pieces will be connected by the theme of nature. Specifically, it will be divided into three categories: land, sea, and sky. To me, Lively's newest outfit screams sea thanks to the Caribbean-worthy ocean blue color and the shell-like pattern. If this look is any indication, Lively may further explore the sea element of the exhibition's theme come Monday. Only time will tell!

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
