The Met Gala is one of the biggest nights in fashion and pop culture. Every year, celebrities team up with designers to create over-the-top looks that are sure to dominate headlines and trends. This year, however, a sweet moment of Ryan Reynolds reacting to wife, Blake Lively’s, gown captivated fans online. Let’s take a look at how this supportive moment unfolded.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are easily one of Hollywood’s most wholesome couples.
When these two aren’t trolling each other on Instagram or raising their three daughters, they are shutting down the red carpet with their coordinated sense of style.
Case in point: the 2022 Met Gala.
The power couple were co-chairs for this year’s gala and just about everybody on social media agreed they were the best-dressed couple there. In particular, Blake’s ode to the Statue of Liberty in the form of an elegant, transforming Versace gown was named one of the best looks of the night for the gala’s Gilded Glamour theme.
Blake surprised everyone when she revealed her copper and blush gown was hiding a secret.
As she rose to the top of the iconic Met Gala stairs, a team of stylists helped Blake show off her second look of the night. Her skirt was untied to reveal a massive teal train — a nod to the Statue of Liberty’s current color due to oxidation.

The moment definitely solidified their status as a Hollywood power couple.
There’s nothing we love to see more than a successful couple living their best lives both professionally and personally. This couple just radiates positive energy everywhere they go.
You can tell a lot about a couple by the way they look at one another.
Many Twitter users pointed out how Ryan and Blake always look at each other with real affection whenever they’re on the red carpet. Also, they both looked stunning at this year’s Met Gala (but honestly, they always look stunning).
To say this moment was the definition of #RelationshipGoals would be an understatement.
Once again, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds proved that they are Hollywood’s most supportive — and stylish — couple.
Ryan posted about the moment on Instagram, using some of his trademark humor.
“Blake changing outfits in a split second on the red carpet was a moment I’ll never forget. I recently changed my moisturizer and feel pretty confident it’s more of a slow burn that people will appreciate in time. Like Freaks and Geeks ,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
In the past, the couple has opened up about how they balance their careers and family life.
Ryan revealed in a past interview how he and Blake would alternate work schedules so one of them could take care of their daughters. Now that their kids are in school, however, the family tries to have a more regular routine.
More recently, Ryan announced he will be taking a step back from acting.
In 2021, the actor announced a brief sabbatical that’s expected to last about a year and a half. He plans on using this break to spend more time with his family. The news came after years of highly successful movie hits including Deadpool , Red Notice , and The Adam Project .
Leave it to Blake and Ryan to make us believe in true love again.
Besides the gorgeous gowns and dapper suits on display at this year’s Met Gala, Ryan’s reaction to Blake’s ensemble was easily one of the highlights of the night.
