    The Met Gala calls for extravagant gowns but as soon as the red carpet wraps up, stars often change into a comfier look. (I vote for sweats!) As if to prove that point, Blake Lively stepped out the morning after in a simple springy dress. She paired the Malene Birger nude slip with white sneakers and a navy Aviation Gin baseball cap for that quintessential warm-weather outfit. To top it off, Blake even went braless.

    Considering she wore a corseted outfit last night, it all makes sense—this look seems way more comfortable than her Met Gala gown. Although that was a royal masterpiece by Versace, it looked quite heavy as Blake ascended the stairs and the gown was so big, she had to take a bus to the event. After debuting that majestic outfit, I don't blame Blake for wanting to go casual the next day. And luckily, her exact slip dress is still available to shop.
