Hugh Jackman was Blake Lively‘s superhero at the 2026 Met Gala.
Although Ryan Reynolds didn’t attend the New York ball with his wife of nearly 14 years, Jackman was able to fill in for his Deadpool & Wolverine costar and give Lively a hand to help her avoid a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet.
“My good friend Blake Lively, goes, ‘Dude, I need some help with the dress,'” Jackman explained to Jenna Bush-Hager and Shaneille Jones during a May 6 appearance on Today. He said Lively pointed to the bodice of her dress and noted, “I think there’s a hook in there.”
Before helping the It Ends With Us actress rearrange her “stunning” ball gown—a Versace design with a dramatic 13-foot train—Jackman shot a text message to Reynolds. “I’m like, ‘Ryan, is this cool? Checking. Are we good?’” he recalled, revealing Reynolds replied, “Go for it, brother.”
Reynolds, 49, missed the “cool moment,” as Jackman dubbed it, as he passed on attending Anna Wintour’s annual philanthropic affair.
