Whilst catching up on red carpet fashion from the past few weeks there’s one girl who seems to be cropping up everywhere. Blake Lively is probably better known for her on screen style as Serena van der Woodsen from acclaimed TV show Gossip Girl. She’s currently promoting her newest venture into the movie world, ‘Savages’, after turns in Green Lantern and rom coms alike. Her looks from the ‘Savages’ press tour have been really impressive so far.
I do always feel a little sympathy for actresses like her, who’s on screen alias’ have a wardrobe to die for. How does one live up to the stylish standards of the Upper East Side?
Blake manages to do just fine, infusing both carefree California cool and savvy New York chic into her varied red carpet wardrobe. With her willowy frame it would be easy for her to vamp it up every single time, but she plays around with her look in both contemporary and classic designs, favouring pieces that showcase her mile-long-legs.
As she shuns having a stylist, it seems Blake unleashes her fashionable creativity on the red carpet where she really stands out from the crowd. Her stylish turns have even led her to work with the likes of Chanel and Gucci.

Her casual style is a little harder to pin down. Notoriously private, the only times we can sometimes get a clear glimpse of ‘everyday’ Blake is when she’s ferried to and from the New York Gossip Girl set. And even then, it can be hard to tell which look is ‘Serena’ and which is really Blake. Comfort clothes, knits, jeans and flats seem to dominate her wardrobe outside of the ‘Gossip Girl’ world.
What do you guys think of Blake’s style? Worthy of her own post, or a second fiddle to Serena?
Keep on wishing…
