The 2024 Met Gala is a wrap, but let’s be real, it was missing some major players this time around. Like, where was Blake Lively, the ultimate Met Gala royalty? She and Ryan Reynolds ghosted the event for the second year straight, and fans are totally bummed about it.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ended up skipping their second Met Gala in a row. Instead of hitting the town for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” themed bash, Blake and Ryan opted for a cozy night in with their four kiddos. Family time over fancy parties—it’s hard to argue with that!
Lively sparked hope she could attend the Met Gala when she went to a Tiffany & Co. event in New York last week. Ultimately, she let that be her big fashion moment for early May.
Blake Lively has quite the Met Gala history, even poking fun at herself for perfectly coordinating with the carpet in previous years. Her last Met Gala appearance was in 2022, where she not only attended, but also co-chaired the event. Embracing the “Gilded Glamour” theme, she stunned in an Atelier Versace gown paired with her signature Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a tiara.
What sets Lively apart is that she styles herself, even for major events like the Met Gala. She explained that she enjoys the creativity and control it offers.
Fans were eagerly anticipating Blake Lively’s return to the 2024 Met Gala, hoping for her signature style and charisma to grace the event once again. However, when she didn’t make an appearance, disappointment swept through social media. “Blake Lively, where are you?” one fan questioned, echoing the sentiments of many who were eagerly awaiting her presence.
Another fan expressed their disappointment, saying, “pretending to not care Blake Lively isn’t there to save the night #MetGala.” It’s clear that Lively’s absence left a noticeable void for many attendees and followers of the event, underscoring her significant impact and presence at the Met Gala over the years.

Enchanting Equine: Rare Foal’s Remarkable Facial Markings Stun Onlookers
When Scott and Jackie Nelson first laid eyes on Coconut the horse, they were astonished to discover she hailed from Melbourne, Florida.
With over three million admirers captivated by her distinctiveness, the Nelsons felt compelled to capture her beauty when she was just two days old, eager to showcase her to the world.
At the tender age of two, the couple, proprietors of the Down Under Colour ranch where they breed horses, decided to introduce Coconut to the outdoors while filming the momentous occasion.
Described on YouTube as a War Horse, Coconut boasts remarkably rare markings. In Native American culture, War Horses were revered, often ridden by chiefs or medicine men, spiritual leaders of their communities.
To qualify as a War Horse, they must possess specific features such as one blue eye encircled by distinctive markings and a shield pattern on their chest.
In Native American lore, this eye is known as the Sky Eye. It was believed that this single blue eye could guide the spirits of a fallen Chief or Medicine Man to their gods, particularly in the event of their demise in battle. This mystical quality adds to Coconut’s allure and uniqueness.
Witness Coconut’s striking presence in the video below and experience her extraordinary beauty firsthand.
If the story of this exceptional foal has touched you as it did the Nelsons, feel free to share her tale with others.
