Blake Lively’s Gucci Première commercial finally lands – and it’s stunning!

It’s a busy week for Gucci! Just yesterday we showed you the second of four Charlotte Casiraghi Forever Now ad campaign images, and today we have something just as, if not more, special. It’s finally time to see Blake Lively in action, as the video commercial for her Gucci Première fragrance has finally surfaced. And yes, all of those clichés like saving the best til last and good things coming to those who wait all apply in this situation. The short film was shot by Nicholas Winding Refn, and features the blonde actress looking like a true golden Hollywood goddess in not one, but two jaw-droppingly gorgeous Gucci gowns. We know Blake is used to dressing in lavish gowns on Gossip Girl, but we don’t think we’ve ever seen her looking so seductive and sumptuous. Are you loving this as much as we are? http://youtu.be/NzV3GRtwftQ [Gucci Parfums]

Lauren Conrad launches ‘xo(eco)’ eco-friendly accessories collection

Former The Hills star Lauren Conrad could be turning into the next Jessica Simpson if her fashion empire keeps on growing. LC has just launched another collection – this time, an eco-friendly accessories line that goes by the name of ‘xo(eco)’. We think the name is adorable, but would have been so much more appropriate for one of the Gossip Girl cast members, don’t you think? The collection was made with Austin-based company Blue Avocado, and some of the pieces you can find in it include a travel bag for hair straighteners and curling irons (that one’s our fave!), a lunch case, a zip-up pouch and a toiletry bag among other things. And if you’re wondering where the eco friendly part comes in, let us enlighten you. All of the items are made from ‘Repreve’, a material which is actually made out of recycled bottles. Pretty cool, huh? Watch LC chat about the collection in the video below. What do you think of the products? [Fashionista]

Chuck Bass is now a model!

Ok, not really. But Ed Westwick, i.e. the one and only Mr Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl and general sexgod, lent his chiseled good looks to the Philipp Plein menswear show yesterday – and it was gooood! We don’t like to make a big deal of Men’s Fashion Week in Milan (we do appreciate it from a distance though!) but we felt this one was a bit of an exception. See pic above for the reason, just in case there was still any confusion. In all seriousness, when we’ve stopped drooling and giggling like schoolgirls, we think Ed Westwick is a great ambassador for Philipp Plein. So much so that he even starred in the brand’s ad campaigns too (along with a non-discreet Terry Richardson), which you can see below. Not bad, huh? We’re imagining that the brunette is Leighton Meester though… Chuck and Blair forever! (Can you tell we have Gossip Girl withdrawal symptoms already?) [Image]

Blake Lively carries the new Mulberry Travel Camera bag, makes us all green with envy

Blake Lively is just one of those people that shouldn’t ever have a problem getting out of bed in the morning. Just think: The Gossip Girl star is BFFs with the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour, has dated some of Hollywood’s hottest and most eligible bachelors (Leonardo Dicaprio, Ryan Reynolds… need we go on?) and has an ever-expanding CV which is already oozing with tip top acting and modelling gigs.

Meet Felicity Jones, the new face of Dolce and Gabbana

As much as we love sexy Hollywood screen sirens like Scarlett Johansson representing one of our favourite brands, we can’t say we aren’t excited when it comes to welcoming a brand new face – and the new girl at Dolce and Gabbana is gorgeous British actress Felicity Jones, who we imagine is thrilled to be joining the D&G family.

Blake Lively shows off her new Louboutins at the designer’s 20th anniversary party

Muse and friend of Monsieur Christian Louboutin, Blake Lively isn’t shy of wearing a high heel or two, so it must be super handy to have the shoe designer extraordinaire on speed dial.   She was guest of honour at a cocktail party at Barneys, New York, at the weekend to celebrate his 20th year in the business and, wearing a tiny Dolce & Gabbana floral lace dress, she stood out from the crowd by a mile. The floral bustier-style top and black crochet lace skirt worked impeccably well together and was perfect cocktail party attire. On her feet she opted for a pair of multi-coloured snakeskin heels from Louboutin (natch), which the designer must have approved of, seeing as over joyously carried Blake out of the building! Her signature long and loose blonde locks gave a sexy and carefree vibe to her look and her minimal make-up stopped Blake from looking too over done. A Gossip Girl, Ryan Reynolds, all American sweetheart-status and free Louboutins – damn, some girls have all the luck. [poll id=”227″]

Leighton Meester goes Mad Men in McQueen

What we love about Leighton Meester is her ability to turn her fashion hand to styling the latest trends. The Gossip Girl was snapped at The Oranges premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival at the weekend wearing this gorgeous white Broiderie Anglaise shirt and skirt from Alexander McQueen’s resort 2012 collection. And did she stop there with the McQueen? Hell no. The actress rocked the label head-to-toe with a Cigar belt, Bone & Cigar skull clutch and Ocelot print curved heels (so of the moment). Overall, we think this sophisticated, Mad Men-esque look works well for Leighton; we love the small-volume Sixties ‘do and subtle brown smoky eye (though we are finding the colour palette a little too matchy). But we want to know what you think: is Leighton Sixties-sophis or simply too straight? [poll id=”199″]

Get Jessica Szohr’s Met Ball look

Monday night’s annual Met Ball at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art saw a whole host of celebrities pulling out all the style stops on the red carpet, with extravagent fish-tails, intricate embellishment and sheer mesh detailing galore. Yep, the biggest date in the fashion calendar certainly had it all. But Gossip Girl actress Jessica Szohr steered clear of the glam-gown norm and opted for a shorter Topshop number on the night, proving you don’t need a ten foot trail of tulle to stand out from the fashion crowd. We love the fact she forewent designer at the fashion Oscars in favour of high street, and her daring black ruffled dress teamed with the chunkiest black platforms was nothing short of statement. Sure enough, her dress is set to hit Topshop stores later this year, but hey, we’re feeling a little impatient. If you too love Jessica’s rock chick look, complete with an adundance of fringe (new hairdo included), and want to recreate it now, pay attention to our step by step style guide below to get you on your way to wonderful… Jessica’s dress is all about shape, and this black chiffon bandeau dress by Rare is a subtle play on her striking sweeheart statement.

Met Ball 2011: best dressed

We’ve just about recovered from the excitement of the Royal wedding with its vast array of stylish guests and, of course, Kate Middleton’s breathtakingly beautiful McQueen gown – but the weekend hit us with more star-studded events as the Met Costume Institute Gala landed in New York last night. The Met Ball brings the best of the fashion, film and music industry together for a night of fabulous fashion and exhibitions, and this year’s gala was hosted by none other than Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who honoured the late Alexander McQueen with an exhibition called Savage Beauty. Naturally, the prestigious event is harder to get into than Wonka’s chocolate factory, so we’ve cast our sartorial eye over the fashion elite who bagged a Golden Ticket and strutted their stylish stuff on the red carpet. Here’s our top 10 best dressed from last night’s Met Ball…   Ashley Green She may play a vampire in Twilight, but Ashley Green managed to look positively angelic in a custom Donna Karen strapless gown. The nude voluminous tulle was adorned with silver sequins that trailed into a wedding-like train. Teamed with a sleek up-do and touches of sparkle in her ears, clutch and cuff, she looked positively radiant. Jessica Alba Always one to look utterly fabulous on the red carpet, Jessica Alba didn’t disappoint at last night’s Met Ball dressed in a custom Ralph Lauren platinum strapless bustier gown covered in a sparkly crystal-encrusted overlay that highlighted her growing baby bump. Blake Lively Being the face of Chanel has been a dream come true for this Gossip Girl starlet, and last night she was joined by Mr Karl Lagerfield himself. Naturally, Blake opted for Chanel couture by means of a nude embellished dress covered by silver-lilac a chiffon sash to flaunt her fabulous figure too much. Beyoncé […]

Elle Style Awards 2011 best dressed: Blake Lively

Gossip Girl goddess Blake Lively donned a eletric blue Pucci dress to pick up the award for Best TV Star.  The Hollywood lovely showed off her tanned shoulders and legs in the strapless bandeau dress, complete with miniscule cut-outs and tiered layers through the skirt. Giving a nod to the spring’s hot colour-blocking trend, she teamed the dress with violet mules.  For someone who’s been guilty of overdoing the flesh-flashing and overtly sexing it up, it was refreshing to see her looking effortless with natural makeup and loose hair. Hell, we’d be smiling too if we looked like that… Do you like Lively’s laidback luxe look? Let us know below. [poll id=”26″]

Leighton Meester for Missoni SS11

She may not be the sole face behind Missoni’s SS11 campaign, but the rumours about Leighton Meester starring in the Italian label’s latest ads were true – and though, granted, it’s not as big a coup as fellow co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel deal, Leighton looks suitably sweet in Missoni nonetheless.

Get the beauty look: Leighton Meester

Whilst we weren’t convinced by Leighton Meester’s androgynous ensemble at the 2010 Gotham Independent Film Awards on Monday, her sultry smokey eye stole the beauty show. Mixing vamp-inspired makeup with masculine tailoring by Thom Browne isn’t a look that would usually work, but Leighton’s grey eyeshadow and thick black mascara bring out the colours in her suit perfectly, even if we aren’t keen on the two-piece. But Ms. Meester knows how to keep it simple – without overdoing the black eyeliner she remains ultra sleek alongside her au naturale base and lips. We love how effortless her makeup is, and though this timeless look will transcend seasons and occasions to come, it’s perfect to amp up after-dark dressing now. Naturally, we couldn’t wait to recreate it in this week’s get the beauty look, so take a peek below at our top picks… Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, £27.00, House of Fraser A good primer will help maintain your makeup throughout the night and is the key for recreating Leighton’s barely-there base. Acting as a buffer to the outside elements, and containing vitamins A, C and E to protect your skin from the harsh winter elements, Laura Mercier’s primer is our go-to secret. Work a small amount into your skin before you apply your favourite foundation and watch it keep your base in place all night. Starburst Soft Lights, £21.00 £18.00, Debenhams This bronzer and blusher compact is ideal for adding a natural flush of colour to your facial features a la Ms. Meester.

Blake Lively in Lanvin

The 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards was held at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles over the weekend, and with celebs aplenty, the red hot carpet was alive with perfectly polished famous faces – not to mention some equally fabulous frocks to match. One of those catching style-savvy eyes was a certain Blake Lively, who wowed crowds and fellow onlookers alike with her head-to-toe outfit that came, literally, straight off Lanvin’s SS11 runway. A touch of the green eyed monster is certainly come over us MFL girls, but we wouldn’t expect anything less from this international trend-setter. The Gossip Girl star looked stunning in her taupe evening gown, complete with revealing thigh splits and fan-crimped pleats, and though we’re unsure about the insect-inspired dog collar, the tan leather harness gives the outfit an unconventional twist – not to mention complements those LA sun-loving sandals. Bravo, Blake!

Lunchtime buy: Little Marc Jacobs Ink Blue Coat With Bow

Gossip Girl hit our screens again this week and to celebrate we feel this little Marc Jacobs coat in Ink Blue is a great starter for any back to school wardrobe. The coat is a great all occasion number and can be worn with school, casual and evening wear, guaranteed to make our mini Blair stand out in the playground. We especially love the dark blue ink tone of the coat as it works well with many a item varying from jeans, skirts and dresses, without appearing too summery. The bow also adds instant prep appeal, and would look great with a matching black bow Alice band or hairclip. Mittens would be the gloves of choice for the coat, and while black tights, shoes, mittens and hair accessories will match the bow detailing do not feel you need to stick with this palette. Coloured tights, mittens and hats would also be a very fun and preppy way to stay stylish – however do not use more than two colours at a time. It is also great value for money as it is made from 80% wool and only 20% nylon, and has a quilted inner lining for extra warmth; we wish we looked this cosy and fashionable when we were little… Little Marc Jacobs Girls Ink Blue Coat With Bow, £153, available at AlexandAlexa.

Blake Lively in Chanel

She’d been spotted several times last week at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, from having dinner with Karl Lagerfeld to sitting next to Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, but actress Blake Lively made her biggest impression when making her claim for the red carpet at the premier for her new film The Town at Saturday night’s Toronto International film festival. The 23-year-old Gossip Girl star was spotted painting the town red in a scarlet sequin Chanel couture dress, which clung to her in all the right places – and the roses attached to her lower hips gave her an even sexier hourglass figure. Flaunting her endless legs, Blake kept everything matching from the red courts to her lipstick to even the ring on her finger, but although she dazzled us with her sexy image we can’t help but think that maybe this matching look could of been broken up with a bit of black.

Leighton Meester in Versus

It’s one of the most highly anticipated fashion events of the season, and Tuesday night at Fashion’s Night Out in New York it was Gossip Girl Leighton Meester who made quite the statement. The actress chose to go for the daring approach in a cutaway electric blue Versus corset dress (courtesy of Christopher Kane, no less), and pairing it with Christian Louboutin shoe-boots, Leighton’s look oozed cool attitude. But what with the creme de la creme attending the show at Fashion’s Night Out, including Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, we can’t help but feel that Leighton’s racy approach didn’t quite pay off next to the more elegant of outfits.

Jessica Szohr carries Kara Ross clutches

As one of the stylish ladies gracing our screens in Gossip Girl, it should come as no surprise that when it comes to fashion, Jessica Szohr – AKA Vanessa Abrams – has her finger on the pulse. We’ve long been fans of New York designer and gemologist, Kara Ross, and it seems that the Gossip Girl is too. Having been spotted not once, but twice with two different Kara Ross clutches. Szohr carried the Melitta in black crocodile when she attended the Monte Carlo Television Festival and has also been papped with – our favourite – the Prunella in matte gold python, while out in London with fellow Gossip Girl actor and boyfriend (or – if rumours are to be believed – ex-boyfriend), Ed Westwick. Snap up the Prunella python envelope clutch while you still can: $965 $579 from Bloomingdales.
