Fans reacting to the news of Blake Lively will not attend the Met Gala 2023

Blake Lively has attended 10 Met Galas throughout her career and has worn several iconic outfits over the years.

Her most iconic Met Gala look was the Versace dress she wore in 2018, which was inspired by a Renaissance painting. The dress featured a gold bodice and a full, maroon skirt with intricate beading and embroidery. She completed the look with a halo-like headpiece and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

Another iconic look was at the Met Gala 2022 that featured her in a strapless copper-colored gown with matching opera gloves by Versace. The dress featured Art Deco–inspired metallic beading and was tied up with a bow that fanned out into a massive train.

Lively completed the look with a tiara and emerald drop earrings. As she ascended the steps, she unspooled the bow, revealing a turquoise fabric on the underside of the train, which was inspired by the Statue of Liberty.

Having given these mesmerizing fashion statements at the Met Gala for years now, fans are disappointed that she will not be attending the Met Gala 2023, and want to cancel the event just because Blake Lively is not attending.

She is the queen of the event and she is the moment! Fans look forward to the event just because they will get to see the actress. Now that it's not going to happen, they want to either cancel the event or postpone it as per Lively's schedule.

Here are some glimpses of fan's sad comments on an Instagram post by @enews:
