Blake Lively hops Kensington Palace ropes to fix display of 2022 Met Gala gown

Blake Lively hopped over the ropes to fix the skirt of her 2022 Met Gala dress, currently on display at Kensington Palace.

In a post on Instagram, the 35-year-old actress shared footage of the moment she adjusted her custom Versace gown on display at the Crown to Couture exhibition.

“When you’re the clown who hops over the rope at the museum to fix the exhibit,” the Gossip Girl star’s caption read. “Happy almost Virgo season folx.”

In the clip Lively is seen getting down on her knees to adjust the front of the bright turquoise Versace gown, which is one of many Met Gala show looks included in the Kensington Palace exhibition. It also features dresses worn by Billie Eilish, Kendall Jenner, Beyonce, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

The exhibition tells the story of how red carpet fashion has been influenced by the Georgian Era in the 18th century.

Lively wrote that it was “surreal” to see her dress on show in Kensington Palace.

“I still feel like a kid playing dress up every time I get to wear a gown and borrowed jewels out. To see it memorialised like this… just. Wow. Something I’ll never forget.”

Lively is currently filming a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s popular novel, It Ends With Us.

She joined husband Ryan Reynolds, 46, on the set of Deadpool 3 in England earlier this month.

The Crown to Couture exhibition will run until October 29.
