A Ukrainian missile reportedly 'hit a Russian warship', which the Russian military said sank while it was being towed to a port after being badly damaged.

The couple that cohosts together, stays together. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were all smiles at the 2022 Met Gala before turning on the charm as the event’s co-chairs.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have taken date night to the Met Gala red carpet. On Monday, the couple made an appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, looking glamorous and brilliantly chic — and Lively even pulled off a costume change on the main steps.This year's Met Gala accompanies the second part of the Costume Institute's exhibition, «In America: An Anthology of Fashion,» with the controversial theme «Gilded Glamour and White Tie.» The concept is a homage to the United States' Gilded Age, an era of immense economic growth and major industrialization, as well as massive income inequality, political upheaval, and post-Civil War racism.Lively and Reynolds kept true to the theme, with Reynolds wearing a classic tuxedo — including a striking gold pocket watch — and Lively rocking an outfit that began as a shimmering, copper art deco gown, created by Versace.Then, after some quick adjustments, the gown transformed into a blend of metallic copper and pale green copper patina.Speaking with ET's Rachel Smith on the red carpet, Lively — who also rocked Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Christian Louboutins — explained her inspiration for the general design of the ensemble.«I looked at New York City architecture for this event, and I loved the copper patinas,» she shared.
Tonight’s Met Gala is the Super Bowl of fashion and the most star-studded event on Planet Earth — sorry, Oscars.
