After a two-year-long lull, the MET gala on Monday brought back celebrities on the red carpet in experimental yet glamorous costumes for the big night. From the hosts for the evening Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds to pregnant Sophie Turner with husband Joe Jonas and Indian Natasha Poonwalla, the night was lit as the celebration of American design was themed to gilded glamour, sprouting classic black tuxedoes for many of the men and lots of dresses in black and white for the women. Others paid literal homage to New York City and still more shimmered in metallic golds and silver.
Hosts for the evening, Blake Lively arrived in a grand Versace gown while husband Ryan Reynolds was in a brown velvet suit. Blake wore a bronze and rose gold look that transformed into a shimmery layer of baby blue as a large bow was pulled. “Instead of looking to fashion to influence the dress, I looked to New York City architecture,” Blake said.

Sophie Turner was seen with her baby bump as she arrived with husband Joe Jonas in an embellished black gown. She also wore her famous red hair in sleek waves along with bright red lipstick.
Indian sociallite Natasha Poonawalla walked the red carpet in a golden Sabyasachi sare with a metallic corset and a train.
Billie Eilish went with an upcycled green lace-trim dress from Gucci and Cynthia Erivo wore sheer white Louis Vuitton with a matching head piece.
