Spotted: Blake Lively on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The It Ends With Us star—who settled her yearlong legal battle with director and costar Justin Baldoni—returned to the 2026 Met Gala with a bang on May 4, stepping out in a stunning colorful halter gown made by Versace in 2006 for the night’s “Fashion Is Art”-dress code. (See all the celebrities at the Met Gala here.)
And Blake had a very special accessory for the “Costume Art”-themed event: a purse featuring art by her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ children James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3.
“This is a Judith Leiber bag,” the 38-year-old shared with Vogue, “and we were trying to find a piece of famous iconic art to put on and make it look like it’s in a frame.”
“Then I said, ‘If you’re gonna do it custom, can you do my kids’ art?’ So my kids each painted a watercolor painting,” Blake continued. “Each of my four kids did this. Isn’t that special? So I have them with me.”
