Ok, I have to talk about Blake Lively, the stunning all American actress. We all love her, even if you don't, you do. Whether you are attracted to her body, hair, eyes, style, it doesn't matter. The thing is we all love something about her. As I was creepily looking at her on google I noticed that she has worn some of the most extravagant gowns I've ever seen. Let's just take a look at some of her best red carpet moments.
How about this fabulous Emmy number we got going on here? In 2009, Gossip Girl actress wore one of the most talked about Versace gowns at the Emmy Awards. She was so red hot on the red carpet. Ok, that was lame but true. This dress was plunging with its neckline and back line. To top off the fabulous look she wore a Rapunzel like braid with some killer Louboutin heels.
Continuing in 2009 and in Versace, she cursed the runway with this dazzlingly revealing teal gown. How about showing some skin, huh? In the back, in the front, on the sides, and up the leg! Blake was seen in this at the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Big Apple. It's a busy looking dress, to say the least, but somehow it all comes together. The draping chiffon sleeve, the slit up to her bikini line, the plunging neck, the wrap around halter, the deep open back and the intricate beading detail all came together to create an interesting yet visually satisfying gown. What do you think?
As we shorten things up at the Costume Institute Gala in 2010, Blake wore a fancy little Marchesa number. It's nice to see a cocktail dress look so fancy and over the top. Sometimes we forget the effect that these little dresses can give off. The flowery puff at the shoulder is a nice accent but I don't think it's too overpowering. She's like a flowery title wave waiting to crash! I like how she kept the jewelry and hair simple in order for us to solely focus on the wonderful piece of art she is wearing.
At the 2011 CinemaCon Awards she arrived in an open back Marchesa dress from their Fall 2011 collection. Just when I think I have found my favorite 'Lively-look', I see another one that makes my toes curl even more. As for this fiery red feathery maze of a dress with those damn Brian Atwood shoes, this look is f*****g fabulous! The nude underlay with the stunning cap sleeve and the bright red embroidery sits on her body so perfectly, it fits like a glove. The open back with the little necklace lay of fabric is an unexpected detail to swoon over.
In 2011, at the premier of her new film, The Green Lantern, she appeared in a Chanel Haute Couture angel white gown. I love how this gown appeared to be a cocktail dress with a collection of sheer madness attached to the bottom. The patches of white flowers that softly drip down the dress to collect to a little garden at the bottom keeps your eye on the entire garment. The high neckline and mini cap sleeves always seems to be a great look for Lively. And the hair...well, it's a fabulous mess with a beautiful gold rose planted in it!
And here is her latest! From the red carpet premier of Savages, her new film, she wore a nude and black strapless Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 Couture. This captured the eyes of just about everyone, the audience, the media, the cameras and they were all focusing on her almost non existing waist. This gown surely is one of a kind with its tape like effect that so gracefully follows the tiny curves of her body and the train that bursts out onto the red carpet behind her. Her blowout hairdo along with her blush lipstick made this a Blake to never forget.
I could literally keep going forever. I think I might have a little, tiny, baby celebrity crush and I'm not afraid to admit it! But moreover, these dresses are all statement pieces and each of them have such intricate details that makes you stop and really observe the whole thing.
Let me know which is your favorite!
Ciao,
Annie
