Blake Lively [1] stole the show as she closed the Met Gala red carpet [2] in a stunning Atelier Versace gown [3] that took over 600 hours to make, and the actress continued to put on a fashionable display with her chic afterparty look, also by Versace. While most attendees slipped into slinky, barely there dresses once the charity event ended, Blake stuck with the night's "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme [4], ever so subtly, and changed into a schoolgirl-esque ensemble before hitting the party circuit.
Perhaps inspired by her Gossip Girl days [5], Blake paired a crisp white button-down with a fringed plaid mini and matching over-the-knee boots for the night out on the town. She layered a jacket in a clashing tartan print over her shoulders and accessorized with a beaded clutch and plenty of cocktail rings. Want to re-create Blake's preppy plaid look?
