Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, one of Hollywood`s most beloved couples, will not be attending the 2025 Met Gala, a source close to the couple has confirmed to People magazine.
This news comes as a surprise to fans, especially since the couple has been a regular fixture at the annual fashion event in recent years.
The last time Lively and Reynolds walked the Met Gala red carpet was in 2022, when they served as co-chairs alongside Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
That year, Lively stunned in a custom Atelier Versace gown, featuring a reversible train that she famously flipped halfway up the iconic museum steps.
According to People magazine, the 2025 Met Gala, scheduled for May 5, will celebrate the theme `Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,` inspired by Monica L. Miller`s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
The exhibit will feature a range of garments, paintings, photographs, and more, exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism.
Lively and Reynolds` decision to skip the 2025 Met Gala comes amid their ongoing legal battle surrounding Lively`s movie, `It Ends with Us`.
In December, Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against director and costar Justin Baldoni and his co-producers, which was followed by Baldoni`s USD 400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their team.
