Blake Lively - MET Ball 2011

Blake Lively arrives in style at the MET Ball held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 2) in New York City.

The 23-year-old Gossip Girl actress and face of Chanel walked the red carpet with the fashion house’s creative director, Karl Lagerfeld.

The Costume Institute Gala Benefit celebrates the opening of the “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” exhibition, featuring the late designer’s iconic work.

Late last month, Blake debuted her new red hair color at the Time 100 Gala at Lincoln Center – she shared that she changed up her hair for a role in her new movie, Hick.

FYI: Blake is wearing a beige tulle pailette embroidered dress with chiffon sash from Chanel‘s Fall/Winter 2009/10 Haute Couture Collection.
