Overview
- Multiple outlets reported after Monday’s Met Gala that Blake Lively was invited by Vogue’s Anna Wintour and did not pay for entry.
- The claim began with a post from the fan page @metgalaofficial_ alleging she paid over $100,000, which drew tens of thousands of likes and over a thousand comments.
- Sources said Lively was seated at Wintour’s table, a placement widely seen as a signal of standing within the event.
- Lively wore an Atelier Versace gown pulled from the 2006 archives with Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and Donatella Versace praised the look as “stunning.”
- Her appearance came hours after a legal settlement with Justin Baldoni, and an insider said she looked strong and chatted with guests on the carpet.
