The actor has paid tribute to New York City architecture in a shimmering gown that dramatically changed as she walked the Met Gala 2022 red carpet.

, the 30-year period at the end of the 19th-century that saw skyrocketing wealth for industrialist families in the US and over-the-top fashion for New York City's upper crust.

When Lively first arrived, the glittering, beaded Versace dress was wrapped by an oversized coppery satin bow. But as she ascended the stairs to the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her bow was released to reveal the rest of the sweeping ensemble: A long skirt in an aged copper tone, paying tribute to the patina of the Statue of Liberty.Angela Weiss/AFP/Getty Images

"I've patinated," Lively told LaLa Anthony during Vogue's live stream."This dress is an homage to New York City and so many of the classic, iconic buildings." She showed off some of the dress's subtle references:"This is detailing from the Empire State Building, some of the draping from the Statue of Liberty... the constellation from Grand Central Station.

Tiaras have shown to be the accessory of the night, and Lively was one of many who sported the accessory. Hers was an elegant band featuring seven spikes, another reference to Lady Liberty. Symbolizing the seven continents, the actor explained they represent"inclusivity, welcomeness, and freedom." She also requested from jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz to feature 25 stones for the 25 windows of the iconic statues.

"This year was especially nervewracking being one of the hosts," she told Anthony."I thought a neat perspective on the theme would be looking at the city that I love so much and the architecture, rather than just the fashion."

That dress could solve world hunger🥴🥴 isn’t that correct lefties🤔

With riveting stories like this, I can't figure out for the life of me why plus got cancelled

I have zero interest in any of this, but I do think that gown is pretty cool and artistic, and the blue/green color is very pretty. Would be nicer if it wasn't so low-cut, but overall, it's one of the best I've ever seen.
