However, Lively didn’t stop there: She surprised guests by having her dress unwrapped on the red carpet. Its changing hue is said to represent the Statue of Liberty turning from copper to green.

The transformation only added drama to Lively’s look. Her gown’s long sweeping skirt — covered in foil constellations that represent the ceiling of Grand Central Station — splayed out on the steps, highlighting its staggering length.
