Blake Livelyis quite the perfectionist. TheGossip Girlalum, 35, recently posted an Instagram Story featuring herself jumping over an exhibit barricade at Kensington Palace to make a slight adjustment to theiconic Met Gala dressshe wore last year.

In the newly shared clip, theIt Ends with Usstar can be seen at the palace’sCrown to Coutureexhibit, which includes Lively’s 2022 Met Gala gown. When she noticed an imperfection, she broke royal protocol by hopping the rope to fix the hem of the dress. The actress—who was rocking a gray blazer, blue jeans and a high ponytail—quickly fluffed the dress with the help of jewelry designer, Lorraine Schwartz.

“When you’re the clown who hops over the rope at the museum to fix the exhibit,” Lively captioned the IG video. “Happy almost Virgo season folx.”

Lively also took a moment to personally thank Schwartz for designing the crown that she wore (along with her dress) on the Met Gala red carpet. The actress shared another snap of herself posing with Schwartz and fine jewelry designer, Ofira Sandberg. Lively wrote, “This was absolutely surreal. Seeing this crown that we made in Kensington Palace.”

She added, “I still feel like a kid playing dress up every time I get to wear a gown and borrowed jewels out. To see it memorialized like this… just. Wow. Something I’ll never forget.”
