Hollywood star Blake Lively made a surprise appearance at the Met Gala on Monday, just hours after settling her years-long legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni.
The 38-year-old actor was photographed waving to the paparazzi and smiling widely on the red carpet of the elite fashion event in New York.
Lively arrived at the exclusive event in a full ball gown that erupted in a cloud of pink, purple and yellow tulle, posing for the shutterbugs and even waving to the fans.
The Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, and this year has raised a record $42 million, the museum's CEO Max Hollein told reporters early Monday.
The exhibit juxtaposes elegant fashion looks with paintings and sculpture, celebrating 'costume art'.
