The 2024 Met Gala is a wrap, but let’s be real, it was missing some major players this time around. Like, where was Blake Lively, the ultimate Met Gala royalty? She and Ryan Reynolds ghosted the event for the second year straight, and fans are totally bummed about it.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ended up skipping their second Met Gala in a row. Instead of hitting the town for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” themed bash, Blake and Ryan opted for a cozy night in with their four kiddos. Family time over fancy parties—it’s hard to argue with that!
Lively sparked hope she could attend the Met Gala when she went to a Tiffany & Co. event in New York last week. Ultimately, she let that be her big fashion moment for early May.
Blake Lively has quite the Met Gala history, even poking fun at herself for perfectly coordinating with the carpet in previous years. Her last Met Gala appearance was in 2022, where she not only attended, but also co-chaired the event. Embracing the “Gilded Glamour” theme, she stunned in an Atelier Versace gown paired with her signature Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a tiara.
What sets Lively apart is that she styles herself, even for major events like the Met Gala. She explained that she enjoys the creativity and control it offers.
Fans were eagerly anticipating Blake Lively’s return to the 2024 Met Gala, hoping for her signature style and charisma to grace the event once again. However, when she didn’t make an appearance, disappointment swept through social media. “Blake Lively, where are you?” one fan questioned, echoing the sentiments of many who were eagerly awaiting her presence.
Another fan expressed their disappointment, saying, “pretending to not care Blake Lively isn’t there to save the night #MetGala.” It’s clear that Lively’s absence left a noticeable void for many attendees and followers of the event, underscoring her significant impact and presence at the Met Gala over the years.

A Woman Who Became A “Vampire” By Covering Entire Body In Tattoos Issues Warning
The woman who owns the Guinness World Record for having the most body modifications has issued a strong caution to those who are copying her.
Due of her peculiar appearance, Maria José Cristerna has earned the nickname “real-life vampire.” She has spent much of her life accumulating tattoos. At the age of fourteen, she got her first tattoo.
The Mexican woman has solidified her position as the most changed woman in the Guinness World Records for 2022 with a total of 50 bodily alterations.
Cristerna has undergone a number of strange physical changes, including several piercings, implants in her arms and forehead, a split tongue, and an incredible array of tattoos that nearly completely cover her body, including her eyeballs.
Speaking with Guinness World Records, Cristerna said that her father wasn’t initially in favor of the plan. However, he then accompanied me to the tattoo parlor where I got my first ever tattoo.
She declared, “Art runs through my veins,” underscoring her profound commitment to the arts. I have loved art since I was a small child, and I can now express it with my body.
She ascribes her transformations to a ten-year abusive and oppressive marriage and works to support other women who have suffered similar emotional, mental, and physical violence.Love for oneself is the only path out of abuse and violence. “We came here to be happy,” she declared.
Her physical transformations serve as symbols of her strength, perseverance, and freedom from her past.
Every change has a certain significance, but Cristerna discovered that the most painful ones were the pigmentation in her eyes and the implants put in her arms.
Cristerna, who is celebrating her Guinness World Records title, is unwavering in her commitment to expressing herself.

“Your ambitions are always within your reach. There are no restrictions. If you put your mind to something, nothing is impossible, the woman proclaimed.
Her goal is to get tattoos covering every inch of her body, with the confident declaration, “I don’t care what people think about me.” I ranked myself highest. The key thing is that I am aware of who I am.
Cristerna did, however, offer a word of caution to young people considering making equally extreme changes: “It is irreversible, so you have to think it through very carefully.”
She went on, “I adore how I look, but you have to realize that there are young kids that are really accepting of piercings, tattoos, and all of that. We can eventually reach a point where it no longer fulfills our desires and we might grow tired of it since it has become trendy.
Therefore, in order to love it and be able to defend it for the rest of your life, you have to give it a lot of thought.
Even though the “Vampire Woman,” who wrote earlier this week about getting a new tattoo, advised others not to get tattoos until they were completely confident about them, she is still getting tattooed.
She shared a photo of her most recent makeover, which included a tattoo artist working on her back, on Instagram. An accompanying caption reads, “My brother’s tiger Rene Camarena Laus Satanus deserves one more stripe.”
We can’t believe what we see when we see her pre-ink appearance!
