Blake Lively Brings The Drama in a Chainmail Minidress and Voluminous Orange Cape

Her ensemble turned heads at the LACMA Gala

When Blake Lively wears a look, she goes all out.

Last night was no exception, and the actor made quite the statement as she stepped out to attend the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala. Held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the charity event welcomed stars including Charli XCX, Kim Kardashian, and of course, Lively—who held her own in a head-turning ensemble by Tamara Ralph.

For the occasion, the It Ends With Us actor put a playful twist on the naked look, opting for a minidress reminiscent of the ‘60s and ‘70s styles designed by Paco Rabanne. Made of reflective chainmail pieces, her metallic dress was held together by glittering diamonds, with small cutouts flaunting the fact that Lively wasn’t wearing anything underneath. A daring silhouette, including a low-cut back and short hemline, added to the risqué appeal of her outfit.

In her signature maximalist fashion, Lively accessorized with a statement coat. She paired her barely-there minidress with a burnt orange taffeta cape, wearing the outerwear bunched up around her elbows. The voluminous garment touted puffy sleeves and a floor-grazing length, contrasting the star’s short dress.

Lively accessorized with strappy lilac heels bedazzled with rhinestones, and continued her sparkling theme with small diamond hoop earrings and diamond studs. For her night out, she went with her usual glam, styling her blonde hair in tousled beachy waves with a deep side part. Her makeup reflected the sunset hues of her outfit with a shimmery gold eyeshadow, coral blush, and a matching glossy lip.
