Blake Lively knows how to set her kids straight! The actress and fashion icon broke down 19 looks from 2005 to now as part of 's «Life in Looks» segment, and there's one particular Met Gala moment she says reminds her daughters who's boss.«This, is without a doubt my favorite look of all time,» Lively said of the Versace gown she wore to 2018's «Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination» themed Gala. «The is the Met Gala 2018, Versace dress.

I get very involved in the design of the dresses, I don't know if it's just that I'm a Virgo, or that I need a life.»The iconic, bedazzled burgundy gown looked slightly different from the showstopper we saw in 2018, with Lively adding some of her creative touch.«This one is actually a dress that they had made, but it had a train that was like this — it was a shorter train,» she explained. «So, we took this dress, and said, 'Ok, can you guys add like 8 feet of train?

Can you add beading on the inside?' This had ruching in the middle, which kind of looked like it was too tight and pulling at the hips, so I was like, 'We need to pick up that pattern here as well, so that it looks like a part of the dress.'»As for the crown she donned that night, that was pretty makeshift too, with jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz crafting it out of brass and brown diamonds.«And this was just a headpiece that Lorraine made, with these brown diamond and brass — it wasn't even gold, it was brass — it was like bendable hardware store brass,» Lively said of the head piece, which she paired with stunning emerald earrings that also got the Lorraine Schwartz treatment. «These earrings she made the night before.
