HONY Capture Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively And More At The Met Gala

Humans of New York has photographed celebs at the Met Gala as part of a project commissioned by Vogue. The images began appearing on Instagram yesterday with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Selena Gomez and Serena Williams all featuring. 

Tissues at the ready because this latest series from the photoblog will have you welling up.

Selena Gomez

 

“I feel like I’m just starting, but I think I’d be fine if it all went away. I get that from my mother. From the moment I started singing, she always reminded me that all of this was a privilege, and could be taken at any moment. So singing is not how I define myself. I try to keep my identity rooted in my friendships and my faith.” (Link to entire collection of Met Gala stories can be found in bio.)

Serena Williams & Alexis Ohanian

 

“She has the biggest heart. Everyone sees her success as an athlete, but all of that is layered on the size of her heart. She gives 100% of herself to everything she does: as a friend, as a lover, and soon, as a mother.”

Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy

 

“Having a child was the best thing that ever happened to us. But it is constant company with terrible conversation.”

Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively 

 

“She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times.”

 "I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn't want to remember. She made me remember the good times." No Ryan, we will never be ok.
