Blake Lively's Met Gala Moment Sparks Online Debate: Bossy or Delegating?
Blake Lively faced online backlash after a viral Met Gala clip appeared to show her telling staff how to position her train, with critics labeling it 'bossy' and mean. Defenders argued she was simply directing the people hired to help with the dress, noting misogyny in the reaction and that a man would likely be praised for similar behavior. Lively had just settled a lawsuit with It Ends with Us costar/director Justin Baldoni hours earlier, and she wore an archival Versace gown inspired by 18th‑century Rococo on the Costume Art-themed night.
