red carpet in a gown that transitioned from bronze to green.
The 2022 Met Gala took place on Monday, and co-chairs Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds showed up in stunning, on-theme looks that channeled gilded glamour.
Lively's gown took inspiration from some iconic landmarks in New York City, which included a bit of a transformation as she ascended the Metropolitan Museum of Art's steps. Her gown went from bronze to green, and a video posted on TikTok by iHeartRadio captured her husband's loving reaction as he watched it all unfold.
"I LOVE THEM!!!" iHeart's caption read.
The video, which had 5.4 million views on Tuesday, shows him standing at the top of the steps in his black velvet Ralph Lauren suit and white bow tie, admiring his wife from afar.

The actress' custom Versace look paid homage to the architecture of the Empire State Building in the front, and the color change was meant to emulate the oxidation of the Statue of Liberty over time, as she told E! in a red-carpet interview.
To achieve the look, Versace embroidered the tulle dress with crystal and metallic leather and tri-tone copper foil, Insider previously reported.
Lively also wore a crown by Lorraine Schwartz, which she said had stones and points to honor the crown worn by Lady Liberty.
Once her copper-colored, hip-height bow was unraveled by carpet attendants, she revealed another detail inspired by NYC: Her train was embroidered with celestial stars seen on the ceiling in Grand Central Station.
This isn't the first time fans have swooned over the duo's love for one another.
Lively and Reynolds have been together since 2011, and they've attended many red carpets as a couple over the years. They have even been known to troll each other on the internet.
They wed in 2012 and now have three children together.
