Spotted: <\/span>Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a> <\/a>finding some much-needed help on the Upper East Side.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, as the <\/span>Gossip Girl<\/span><\/em> alum made her surprise appearance<\/a> at the 2026 Met Gala<\/a> May 4 in a billowing Versace gown, she had a very special family member help her up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/span> in New York City<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside a snap of <\/span>William McAlpin<\/strong> holding the dress’ dramatic train, Blake wrote on her Instagram Stories May 5, “My sweet angel gorgeous cousin.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a look to remember for the “Fashion Is Art” dress code as the 38-year-old\u2014who donned a colorful halter ballgown adorned with lavender crystals and <\/span>Venetian Rococo<\/strong>-inspired hues on the skirt\u2014needed four people to guide her up the stairs. (See all the celebs at the Met Gala here<\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

But William wasn’t the only one of Blake’s family members on the actress’ mind during the biggest night in fashion. In fact, she paid homage<\/a> to her and husband <\/span>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>‘ kids <\/span>James<\/strong>, 11, <\/span>Inez<\/strong>, 9, <\/span>Betty<\/strong>, 6, and <\/span>Olin<\/strong>, 3, with a very special purse.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
