Blake Lively wore a Versace gown to the 2022Met Gala that included many homages to New York City.- The train of Lively's dress was a tribute to NYC's Grand Central station.
Blake Lively's 2022 Met Gala dress was full of hidden details that paid homage to New York City.
But on Monday, Lively revealed in a video shared by Vogue that her custom Versace gown — which changed from bronze to green to mirror the oxidation of the Statue of Liberty — also included a nod to the pilot of "Gossip Girl."
The front of Lively's Met Gala dress was designed to emulate the architecture of the Empire State Building, while her train represented Grand Central Station in New York City.
When Lively first arrived at the Met Gala, her dress had an oversized bronze bow at the hip. The bow unraveled as she walked along the red carpet to reveal a beautiful green train, which was designed with a celestial map inspired by the same 12 zodiac constellations that are painted on the ceiling of Grand Central Station.
Lively told Vogue that the constellation detail was a nod to the first shot on "Gossip Girl."
"Grand Central felt like a sort of really neat full-circle moment because the first shot of 'Gossip Girl,' I'm on a train and a pull into the station, and it's a shot of Grand Central station," she said.
Lively played Serena van der Woodsen on the show. The series, which aired from 2007 to 2012, catapulted her to stardom.
Representatives for Lively did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
