class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Blake Lively has made an appearance at the Met Gala for the first time in four years, but as she made her way up the iconic steps, she had an awkward encounter with impatient paparazzi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">The actress stunned in a \u201csunrise and sunset watercolour\u201d 2006 archival Versace gown with a huge train flowing behind her \u2014 proving why she is the queen of the big train.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Before Lively ascended the beige steps, Met staff rushed to lift her train to help her walk, but she politely told them they could just \u201cleave it\u201d, as seen on Vogue\u2019s live stream of the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">When she arrived at her next spot to pose on the stairs, she was seen trying to adjust and fix her heavy dress into place while the paparazzi yelled out to her, wanting to take her photo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">In response, Lively told them to \u201chold on\u201d while pointing a finger at them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e1vl0htn0 embed

her, saying \u201cover the shoulder Blake\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Lively eventually managed to wrangle her fairy floss coloured gown, apologised and told the impatient crowd that her team had \u201cworked so hard on (this) I have to make it look nice\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">After she made it to the top of the steps, she was interviewed by La La Anthony, where she gave some insight into her extravagant ensemble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to wear this gorgeous gown, it looks like a sunrise and sunset watercolour,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">She also said her bag featured watercolour artwork done by her four kids, whom she shares with Ryan Reynolds, to bring her \u201ccomfort\u201d throughout the huge night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Lively\u2019s appearance comes hours after she settled the long-running and ugly lawsuit between her and former colleague Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us.<\/p>\n<figure
