Her husband is out of the country, so the 'Gossip Girl' star shut down the red carpet all on her own at the annual fashion event!
Blake Lively is on her queen game at the Met Gala this year!
The A Simple Favor star went solo to the annual fashion event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, as husband Ryan Reynolds was in Madrid, Spain, for a Deadpool 2 photocall, and she had no trouble at all shutting down the carpet herself.

And similar to some of the other fabulous Met Gala looks, Lively honored this year's theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," with a crown headpiece.
And, a true testament to the attention to detail of the ensemble, Lively's hair was actually colored by hairstylist Rona O’Connor of Lukaro Salon to match her dress.
Check out the bold fashion below.
Earlier in the day, Lively looked back on her style at last year's Met Gala, writing on Instagram, "Met flashback (more things I didn’t post but now have the excuse to!)," adding in another post, "Eternally trying to nail JLo red carpet eyes.
