Blake Lively's outfit appeared to match the Met Gala red carpet for the 4th year in a row

• Blake Lively attended the Met Gala in a gown that channeled the Statue of Liberty.
• The gown matched the red carpet, something which Lively has done three times previously.

Blake Lively attended the 2022 Met Gala in a show-stopping gown that matched the red carpet — and it's not the first time she's done it.

The actor, who is co-chair for the 2022 event alongside husband Ryan Reynolds, wore a custom Versace gown that was inspired by the Statue of Liberty at the event on Monday. As Insider's Celia Fernandez reported, the tulle gown transformed from bronze to green when Lively's team undid the dress's giant bow, which became a long blue-green train with the constellation from Grand Central Station in the back. Lively and the designers explained the change was meant to mirror the oxidation of the Statue of Liberty.

She completed the look with two matching pairs of gloves — one a shade of bronze that she then peeled off to reveal a green pair underneath the same color of her dress — and a Lorraine Schwartz crown that Lively told E! was meant to reference the Statue of Liberty as well. She added that the front of the bodice was designed to emulate the architecture of the Empire State Building.

Aside from the theme, Lively's gown also appeared to pick up on some of the colors of the Met Gala carpet, which was primarily red with blue and cream details on the side.

While it's not clear whether the matching was an intentional decision on Lively's part, it marks the fourth time the actress's outfit has coordinated with the Met Gala red carpet, according to E! News.

The outlet posted a video on Instagram on Monday with the caption: "When the carpet matches the Blake at the #MetGala." The video shows Lively's Met Gala ensembles color-coordinating with the event's carpet at three prior galas.

At the 2016 Met Gala, for example, Lively donned a strapless pastel pink Burberry gown that was embroidered with red flowers that matched the pink, red, and cream carpet, Us Weekly reported.

And in 2017, the star wore a gold Versace gown with blue feathers on the train that matched that year's cobalt blue carpet.

She attended the 2018 Met Gala in a beaded gown that had a similar color scheme to the gold, cream, and burgundy carpet. The floor-length gown took 600 hours to make, Insider reported at the time.

Representatives for Blake Lively did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on the coordination.
