Meanwhile,
Ryan
Reynolds
and
Blake
Lively
were
also
once
regulars
at
the
ball,
but
have
not
attended
since
2022,
when
Blake
wore
a
Statue
of
Liberty-inspired
gown
for
the
“In
America:
An
Anthology
of
Fashion”
theme.
And
while
the
couple—who
share
kids
James,
10,
Inez,
8,
Betty,
5,
and
Olin,
2—also
did
not
attend
this
year,
Blake
previously
expressed
love
for
the
annual
occasion.
“When
the
carpet
matches
the
Blakes,”
the
37-year-old
wrote
in
a
May
2020
post,
reflecting
on
how
her
past
Met
Gala
looks
were
perfectly
on
theme.
“Met
Ball
2018,
2017,
2016.”
As
for
other
stars
you’d
hoped
to
see
all
dressed
in
their
first
Monday
of
May
best?
There
are
quite
a
few
people
in
Hollywood
who
have
regularly
chosen
to
sit
out
of
the
festivity
altogether.
Jennifer
Garner,
for
example,
told
Vogue
last
year
that
the
event
was
a
little
too
“scary”
for
her
amid
her
first
and
only
time
ever
attending
in
2007.
Meanwhile,
big
celebrities
like
Meryl
Streep
and
Ryan
Gosling
have
never
attended
the
ball.
Gosling
and
his
longtime
partner
Eva
Mendes,
for
their
part,
prefer
to
keep
a
low
profile,
but
Streep
nearly
made
her
debut
in
2020,
as
she
was
announced
as
a
co-chair.
However,
the
COVID-19
pandemic
kept
a
party
for
the
Costume
Institute’s
“About
Time”
theme
that
year
to
move
forward.
