There seemed to be a clear dynamic between Ryan and Blake on the red carpet, with Blake calling the shots. Body language expert Judi James analyzed their red carpet photos and videos for the
DailyMail
, and revealed she seemed to be giving him "hand signals."

Judi said: 'Blake's directive hand signals to Ryan on the red carpet show, not only her previously-illustrated fondness for directing the action out on the red carpet, but also Ryan's loyal and obedient-looking responses that create the look of sticking his nose straight into a human hand-propellor.
'It's hard to see if Blake's circling, winding hand gesture is aimed at someone else further along the red carpet or if it's a signal to Ryan to motivate him to set off to work the camera poses. It looks like she's winding up clockwork or doing some kind of countdown to rev him into instant action before he gets that extra push or nudge on the back from her other hand as he sets off.
'His eyes almost hint at some hypnotic effect although Ryan is know for his ironic sense of humor so the facial expression could just be performed to get a laugh here.'
Judi added that some of their poses are ones celebrity couples often do on the red carpet so they look 'flirtatious' together.

She said: "Having performed a couple of classic Hollywood power couple poses on the red carpet with Blake's statuesque 'Look at me I'm a Goddess' pose and her 'Hand of Possession' pose with Ryan where she pressed her torso against his and placed an adoring hand of ownership on his chest, Blake and Ryan complete the trio of iconic poses with this third stalwart 'Whispered secrets' pose outside in the street.
'This is a favorite pose among celeb couples wanting to look flirtatious together for the cameras. The proximity of the faces can create the suggestion in a still photo of a desire to kiss, while the whispering itself suggests an intimate, 'sweet nothings' sexy conversation between them.
'Blake and Ryan top off a blizzard of PDAs here with an intense whispering ritual where its hard to see who is whispering to who or maybe they're both whispering at once in a multi-flirt experience.'
Another Simple Favor is set to begin streaming on Amazon Prime Thursday, May 1. It picks up with Blake's character Emily Nelson, who is having a lavish wedding to a wealthy Italian businessman on the island of Capri. She sends Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) an invite to the nuptials which makes for another adventure filled with twists and turns.

Opinion: At Met Gala 2025, how jewellery symbolised cultural representation
From ancestral cowrie shells to 20-carat diamonds, this year's star-studded homage to Black dandyism elevated accessories from mere adornment to powerful cultural statements. Tatler discusses why representation matters through choice of jewellery and its symbolism at world events like the Met Gala 2025 Let's talk about how the 2025 Met Gala's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style transcended the usual red, or in this case, blue carpet parade. While the Met Gala is historically known to be the ultimate stage for most historically important personalities and their personal fashion moment, this year we witnessed a homage to Black dandyism, that remarkable tradition of elegance, resistance and identity that has shaped fashion history across the African diaspora. But this is not the first time that the event has celebrated an important cultural moment in the fashion world. The Met Gala's themed exhibitions have long been a stage for cultural storytelling through fashion and jewellery, transforming accessories into symbols of identity, history and representation. These themes are carefully curated to provoke dialogue about heritage, creativity and social issues, making the Gala more than a glamorous spectacle. Take, for instance, the 2015 Met Gala theme, China: Through the Looking Glass , was a fascinating exploration of how Chinese aesthetics have influenced Western fashion for centuries, yet it also sparked complex conversations about cultural representation, with some critics pointing out the risk of perpetuating stereotypes, while others praised the celebration of Chinese influence on fashion. Celebrities like Fan Bingbing embraced this with intricate headpieces and jade-inspired jewels that echoed Chinese imperial grandeur, while others, such as Rihanna, used their adornments to navigate the fine line between homage and appropriation. The 2015 exhibition itself, featuring over 140 haute couture and avant-garde pieces alongside Chinese art, underscored jewellery's role as a cultural vessel, carrying motifs and craftsmanship that speak to history, identity and the power of visual narrative.

8 Met Gala hair and makeup looks that truly belong in a museum
2. Billie Eilish (2021): Blonde bombshell reminagined In a pale peach Oscar de la Renta gown and platinum blonde waves, Billie Eilish channelled Marilyn Monroe with a twist. Her beauty look—brushed-up brows, soft lashes and a satin pink lip—signalled a dramatic departure from her signature grunge aesthetic. It was a deliberate, almost cinematic transformation that honoured the night's 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' theme without resorting to cliché. Elegance, but make it subversive. 3. Lupita Nyong'o (2016): Sculptural hair art Above Lupita Nyong'o attends the 'Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology' Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images) Nyong'o's towering hair—crafted by Vernon François—nodded to both African tradition and vintage showgirls. It was more than a hairstyle; it was a cultural statement built with precision and pride. Her emerald eye make-up played off her Calvin Klein gown, creating a cohesive story that elevated the Met Gala red carpet to fine art. 4. Rihanna (2015): Imperial drama Clad in Guo Pei's imperial yellow robe, Rihanna matched the scale of her dress with gilded make-up and a dramatic brow. Her bronzed complexion glowed against her matte red lip, delivering a regal fantasy that honoured the theme, 'China: Through the Looking Glass', without veering into caricature. It was a masterclass in cultural sensitivity and star power. 5. Zendaya (2018): Joan of Arc, but make it beauty Her chainmail Versace gown was unforgettable, but it was the auburn bob and metallic make-up that truly sealed Zendaya's transformation. Smoky lids gave her a warpaint edge, while sculpted cheekbones recalled both saint and warrior. In a sea of predictable glam, she wielded beauty as narrative weaponry. 6. Billy Porter (2019): Golden deity Above Billy Porter attends The 2019 Met Gala 'Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion' at Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Photo by John Lamparski / Getty Images) Flanked by six shirtless attendants, Porter descended on the Met Gala carpet like a sun god. His face was adorned with gold leaf accents, winged liner and lashes that rivalled Cleopatra's. The look and the entrance were pure theatre, and the stuff of Met Gala stories to come. 7. Erykah Badu (2014): Afro-futurist cool Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and glowing skin, Eryka Badu brought restrained yet radical energy to the 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' theme. Her dark liner and bold lip anchored an otherwise stripped-down palette. Badu's beauty philosophy has always leaned anti-trend, and at the Met Gala, it read as both defiant and deeply curated. 8. Lady Gaga (2019): Performance in layers Arriving in multiple Brandon Maxwell ensembles, Gaga turned the Met Gala into live theatre. Her beauty look had to keep up: platinum waves, doll-like lashes and a pink lip that echoed camp Barbie. Even as she stripped down to lingerie, the make-up stayed pristine, reminding us that transformation isn't just costume—it's cosmetic storytelling.

Gigi Hadid Goes Full Pinup For the 2025 Met Gala
Skip to main content Though Hadid has been the president of Team Bob for more than a year, the Met Gala is all about magic—and maybe a few extensions May 6, 2025 Photo: Steve Eichner (Getty Images) V for Victory! That's what Gigi Hadid's hairstyle for the 2025 Met Gala is giving—and we're all cheering along. Though Hadid has been the president of Team Bob for more than a year, the Met Gala is all about magic—and maybe a few extensions. The model's short bob was transformed into long, collarbone-skimming lengths by Dimitris Giannetos in a style similar to Anna Sui's Fall/Winter 2025 glam. The Victory Roll hairstylist is named after fighter pilots from the 1940's (and the spins they would do after a victorious tactical maneuver in World War II). Hadid is also a vision in gold. Wearing custom Miu Miu and styled by Gab Karefa-Johnson, the gold sequined dress is part Rita Hayworth, part Veronica Lake. Article originally published on Vogue US
