text: Blake Lively stunned in a Gucci frock on Monday's Costume Institute Benefit red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Blake is back in on the action after being notably absent from last year's ball in favor of a getaway to Vancouver with now-husband Ryan Reynolds. She is somewhat of a Met Gala vet, and Blake even stole the coveted role as Karl Lagerfeld's date while representing Chanel for the event back in 2011. Her return to the red carpet tonight is her first public appearance in months, and she certainly made a statement. What did you think of Blake's dress?
