She looks like she wandered into a tar pit.

## 2009: in Versace

It's boobs! It's leg! It's Boobs Legsly! This was not, of course, what spawned that silly nickname, but it was one of many examples of why it was apt. This is a great color, but I wish it had picked a sleeve, among other things. It's also so in-between in other ways: It's not hyper-glam, and it's not young and fresh, so she's in a weird nether place.

## 2010 in Marchesa

"Listen, Blake, we've cracked it. You're going to look like you were swimming in an old-timey bathing costume when you picked up a rare sea fungus."

## 2011 in Chanel

BL: Hi, Karl. Thanks for the toga. KL: Toga? No. It is an angel's drape. RISE. BL: Oh, sure, if you say so. KL: Certainty is for the drunk, pet. What are hips, but to make the French horn dance? FLY.

## 2013: in Gucci

I call it "The Dementor's Kiss," but it's a rom-com.

Her HAIR certainly fit the "chaos to couture" aspect of the punk theme.

## 2014: in Gucci

That's pretty magical on her.

I couldn't resist re-running this pic of Ryan appearing to make sure everything was tucked away in its place.

## 2016: in Burberry

Apparently Burberry used a combination of laser-cut appliques and hand-stitching to make this fit the Manus x Machina theme. All the Burberry outfits that year were centered around British flowers.

Here you can see the translucent panel a bit better. There's always gotta be SOME legsly.

And the cape was detachable, apparently.

## 2017: in Versace

This doesn't seem to fit Rei Kawakubo, but she is doing the maybe-you-see-me, maybe-you-don't semi-sheer thing very well here with a lot of delicate work and then that explosion of feathers. I do genuinely think that Blake has taken to picking outfits specifically for the stairs picture.

And she does it well.

I love this action shot.

Gotta get that peek of thigh in, right? I admit, often, that I am terrible at interpreting these themes. I don't know if she's accurately referencing any particular iconography -- a lot of people seemed to figure any headdress was apt -- but this IS unforgettable. She's excellent at exactly this.

I mean. I also hope that guy behind her is doing that on purpose.

[Blake Lively Has Worn Some Pretty Memorable Stuff to the MetThat, more than any theme, seems to be her mandate.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2020/05/2011-blakelively_karllagerfeld_wenn3321455-640x931-1588709907.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/blake-lively-has-worn-some-pretty-memorable-stuff-to-the-met-05-2020/)
