Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds in Gucci at the 2014 Met Gala: cute or try-hard?

What a difference a few years makes, eh? Ryan Reynolds is now the kind of guy who walks on red carpets with his wife. And they wear matchy-matchy clothes by the same fashion house because they have matching modeling contracts. Ryan and Blake Lively both wore Gucci. They both look nice, and they look really, really happy to be on the Met Gala red carpet. Blake looks poured into her Gucci gown – it really does hug every curve. I wouldn’t have put her in this pinkish/blush/nude shade, but it looks surprisingly good on her. Thoughts on her hair? I’m not into it – it looks like they stopped styling it just a few minutes too soon.

Oh, I just saw that the dress basically has a built-in cape. I thought it was just a too-long train, but it’s a train AND a cape-like thing. That’s kind of cool. This dress is very old-school glam.

And here’s another cute couple: Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson. For my money, they’re cuter than Ryan and Blake, but whatever. Diane wore Jason Wu for Hugo Boss. I like it. I don’t love it. Diane in ice blue… well, she looks very icy. It feels like she’s channeling Grace Kelly a bit. Joshua looks adorable in his tuxedo.
