Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, this year's Met Gala made for the perfect celeb date night.
Romance in the air and high fashion on the carpet! It appears that this year's Met Gala was the perfect date night opportunity for some of showbusiness' hottest couples.
The carpet kicked off in earnest with the splashy arrival of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Lively pulled off a striking wardrobe transformation on the red carpet itself, revealing a copper and patina colored ensemble modeled after the New York City skyline, while Reynolds kicked off the look a lot of guys wore for the evening -- traditional and elegant tuxedo, in the style of America's famous business magnates and robber barons from the turn of the century.
Which actually makes sense, considering this year's Met Gala accompanies the second part of the Costume Institute's exhibition, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," with the controversial theme "Gilded Glamour and White Tie." The concept is a homage to the United States' Gilded Age, circa 1870-1900, which was an era of immense economic growth and major industrialization, as well as massive income inequality and civil unrest.
However, the theme of 1900s opulence was embraced by many of the night's superstar couples, who smiled for the cameras and, in many cases, packed on the PDA in the middle of the star-studded red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
