Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Are Ditching the 2025 Met Gala—And No, It’s Not Because of the Drama (For Once)

Buy Me A Coffee

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will not be gracing the Met Gala red carpet this year. That’s right, fashion’s biggest night is going ahead without its reigning prom king and queen. Tragic.

Now, before you start crafting conspiracy theories in your group chat about how they’re hiding from the It Ends With Us legal drama, let’s clear that up: No, that’s not why they’re skipping. (But also… great guess, honestly.)

According to TMZ, the actual reason is much less scandalous: Blake and Ryan already decided to sit this one out before the drama even started. In other words, they were planning a quiet night of pajamas and snacks while the rest of Hollywood struggles to breathe in corsets and thousand-pound gowns. Honestly? Relatable.

For those keeping track, the couple hasn’t been to the Met Gala since 2022, when Blake was a co-chair and single-handedly outshined every living thing on that carpet. (Remember that magical dress transformation? Yeah, we’re still thinking about it.)

This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. It’s set to be an important and historic night in fashion, so while we’ll miss Blake and Ryan, we’re sure the Met carpet will still be serving looks, drama, and at least one celebrity struggling to walk up the stairs.
