A professional lip reader has revealed what Blake Lively said to the Met Gala "fluffers" after a parody video of her went viral.
The actress attended the fashion event solo, with husband Ryan Reynolds nowhere to be seen.
Her appearance also came on the same day that she announced a settlement with Justin Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios, following a highly publicised legal battle.
So unsurprisingly, all eyes were on the It Ends with Us star, as she made her way down the red carpet in an archival Atelier Versace gown from spring 2006, with a 13-foot train.
Featuring painterly colors, she told an interviewer that she wished her children were with her, as her purse featured drawings from all four of them, as they were displayed across four panels at the Met Gala.
However, video footage of Lively has done the rounds online, as one social media user took it upon themselves to do a parody lip read of her interactions at the event.
A clip of Lively speaking to fluffers and apparently saying things under her breath has garnered millions of views on social media.
Someone has dubbed over the actress's words, with the user saying: "It's not that difficult, you've just lost your job babe," as she was speaking to fluffers.
The user even added in a fart sound effect when she bent over, and even more as she was trying to sort her dress out - an addition which viewers loved.
Another exchange with a fluffer was skewed for Lively to say: "Move it you pathetic dork! They work so hard, I have to be nice."
The humorous video even had Lively saying that she was getting "trauma" from the way the fluffers were carrying her dress.
It's fair to say that the first video didn't do much for Lively's PR, but luckily, lip reader Jackie G has put in a more genuine effort to read her lips.
The expert, who is also deaf, has over 1.9 million followers on Instagram and is known for reading celebrities' lips at events such as the Met Gala.
She selected some different clips, but noted that Lively had said to the fluffers as they were trying to help: "You guys can just leave it that way if you want, it'll trail behind me. Yeah, thank you! Sorry guys."
Lively could also be seen asking someone if they could "please" hold her purse, while also asking for help with fluffing her dress, apologizing as well.
The expert also looked at one of the same clips, which was parodied, as she said to a fluffer: "Perfect, perfect, that's great sorry...They work so hard, I have to make it nice!"
While on the carpet, Lively also carried out an interview, weeks after her sexual harassment allegations against Baldoni had been dismissed.
The trial, which was set to go ahead later this month, would only have covered three counts: retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation, and breach of an agreement.
She didn't allow that to ruin her mood, though, as she admitted in a red carpet interview that she was "shy," and wished her four children could be with her at the event.
"I'm shy, I just like to have my kids with me," she revealed.
Unfortunately, the Met Gala has a rule stating that those under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend, though some exceptions have been made in recent times.
