Meg Ryan makes her first Met Gala appearance in over 20 years with a stunning sheer black dress from Michael Kors
For the first time in 23 years, Meg Ryan made her presence known on the Met Gala red carpet with a stunning look.
The 62-year-old actress stood with a smile on the red carpet and posed for photographers next to the designer of her dress, Michael Kors.
The outing comes just a week after the Top Gun actress opened up about how she’s felt “liberated” since turning 60 a few years ago.
Her last Met Gala was in 2001 – which she attended with Kate & Leopold co-star Liev Schreiber – with the theme Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years.
Ryan stepped out in a beautiful, sheer black dress with black floral embellishments on the chest and across her waist.

She wore her wavy blonde hair to just below her chin, hiding a pair of turquoise earrings from Cartier.
The actress also wore a turquoise ring, while her long black dress stretched beneath her, hiding her shoes for the evening.
Ryan later donned black Aviator sunglasses to pose next to Michael Kors, who designed the dress she wore for the evening.
When she last attended in 2021, she had been separated from husband Dennis Quaid since June 2000, and the divorce was finalized in July 2001.
The actress’ surprise appearance comes just days after she opened up about how turning 60 has been a “liberating” experience for her.
‘I appreciate my years, I say that seriously. ‘I appreciate my age. For me now it is more important to say clearly what you think, instead of trying to please others and trying to make everyone happy. ‘ she said IO Donna.
“I almost feel liberated because I’ve said certain things and made observations about love and relationships,” she added.
‘And because you try to be honest. I can finally look back and be in the present at the same time,” Ryan continued.

Last year she returned to the big screen in What Happens Later, her first film in eight years, in which she explained why she needed a break.
‘I needed different experiences, to meet people outside the film industry. For this reason, I moved to New York, raised my daughter Daisy and started traveling, especially to far away countries,” she said.
Ryan said stepping away from the spotlight helped her see things more clearly while learning to balance her career and family
‘If you are up to your neck in the ‘bubble of fame’ you cannot suddenly free yourself from it, you will always remain somehow lost in the labyrinth of fame
‘But you know what? “I had enough, I’m glad I made that choice and left that world: I became a better and more interesting person,” she ended
