To say that Blake Lively [1] has gone through a wild style transformation would be an understatement. Over the 10 years that the 31-year-old beauty has attended the annual Met Gala, her outfits have transformed from a simple, safe black gown to an incredibly ornate ruby-and-gold Versace masterpiece that took 600 hours to create [2] and required its own party bus [3] to transport Blake to the gala. Talk about an upgrade! Her date of choice has also changed over the past decade, starting in 2008 with Penn Badgley [4] (also known as Dan Humphrey, her Gossip Girl [5] character's brief onscreen love interest) to her dashing husband, Ryan Reynolds [6]. Read on to see just how dramatically Blake's Met Gala look has changed since her first attendance.
