Blake Lively’s appearance at the 2026 Met Gala did not go unnoticed… but not just because of her look.
The actress arrived in a Versace dress and with an attitude that many described as though nothing had happened in recent months. And that was exactly what sparked the debate.
On social media, several users questioned the timing of her return to the public spotlight, considering the recent controversy linked to Justin Baldoni. For some, her appearance felt like a “clean slate” far too soon.
Others, however, argued that it is a fashion event and that her presence does not necessarily imply a stance on what happened.
The issue escalated even more because all of this intersects with a story involving sensitive topics, which made part of the public feel that the context was pushed into the background in favor of the spectacle.
