Blake Lively Is Skipping the Met Gala 2023 for This Relatable Activity

Fashion

But the nods to New York did not stop there. Blake told Live From E! that the design on her bodice mirrored the Empire State Building, and that her tiara was a reference to the Statue of Liberty’s crown.

“I arrived in copper and then it patinaed to a green,” she said before pointing to the bodice of the dress and declaring, “This is architecture from the Empire State Building. Lots of little references.”

Indeed, it seems no detail went unaccounted for.

Blake even requested a gem on her crown for every window on the Statue of Liberty.

“She has 25 windows, so I was like, Lorraine [Schwartz], can you put 25 stones?” Blake told Vogue at the time. “She’s like, ‘Who’s gonna be counting the stones?’ I was like, ‘Me. I’m a Virgo.'”
