Timeless Trendsetter #5

Blake Lively

Blake Lively was born in Los Angeles on august 25, 1987 to talented parents, her father being an actor and director and her mother a talent scout. Besides getting good grades on her coursework in school she was a cheerleader, class president and member of school’s show choir. At a young age of 17, shortly after a couple of auditions, she landed a major role in 2005 blockbuster chick flick “The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants”. In 2007, Blake landed her most famous role as Serena van der Woodson, in tee-drama hit The Gossip Girl which helped her stardom rise to no limit. Lively’s bad-girl-gone-good character in such a fashion-forward show had enormous influence over style trends. Serena is the master of mixing classic pieces with eclectic shapes and textures. Although each character managed to add their own twist to the prep school dress code, Blake took things to another level with her plaid skirts with slouchy cardigans was effortless and fabulous. Remember the white party? In a breathtaking gorgeous Grecian-inspired white maxi-dress with gold cuffs and shoes, Blake looked like a living goddess that had us reaching for ice-water. Later on in the show, Blake transforms to a closet full of classic, bold statement pieces and proved to be a statuesque stunner in her summer in Paris outfit where she wore electric blue pants with a beautiful Pucci jacket and a slouchy white tee (ofcourse). She entered the Met Gala 2014 in a stunning champagne coloured Gucci dressed with sequined embellishments that turned heads with its long trail that fell from the shoulders to the carpet that guided her and husband Ryan into the venue. Blake Lively stole all the attention at the Cannes Festival 2014 in a matching monochrome Gucci outfits with Ryan (1^st day), sexy blood red silk-chiffon Gucci Premiere dress with a geometric neckline (2^nd day) and in an outstanding plunging dress cinched at the waist with a corset-like back from Chanel Spring 2014 Collection (3^rd day). She is L’Oreal Paris’ best beauty ambassador ever!
