Blake Lively dresses up in a red mini gala after ball gown after a glamorous look

After winning the night with her appearance on the Met Gala red carpet, Blake Lively transformed into a little mini dress to head to New York for the after-party.

Blake Lively had a busy night at the 2022 Met Gala, so it's time to unwind after the event at one of the after-parties! The actress was photographed heading to the after-party and looking fabulous in a red leather mini dress for the occasion. She teamed the look with black lace-up heels, and her hair pulled back, curls hanging in front of her face, waving at the camera as paparazzi flew outside her hotel.

Co-headlining this year's Met Gala, Blake and their husband, Ryan Reynolds, were the first to arrive for the actual event on May 2. Blake's vision on the red carpet differed from what she wore to the after-party. She looked stunning in an elaborately decorated strapless gown. He had an extensive copper bow tied around his waist and running down his back when he arrived.

Blake explains that the dress is an ode to the Statue of Liberty, which depicts the copper-green oxidation of the famous New York landmark. She completed her look with wavy hair that flowed down her back and was lifted in a tiara that also paid homage to the Statue of Liberty. There was a lot of debate about Blake being one of the best outfits for the evening, and he continued to wear it for her after-party appearances.

The Met Gala is a very private event, and guests can't use their phones inside, so everything that happens after the red carpet will remain a mystery. However, it has been confirmed that the gala will feature performances by Lenny Kravitz, Casey Musgraves, and Leslie Odom Jr. Blake also went up on stage to speak with the co-chairman.
