An Open Letter to Blake Lively at The Chanel Couture Show

Jan 24, 2008 @ 11:56am

Blake Lively at ChanelDear Blake Lively,

We know we love you.

But.

If you're going to your first fashion show ever, and it's the Chanel Couture show besides, wouldn't you like to wear something... cool?

Even Serena and Blake's ultimate idol, Audrey Hepburn, would wear something a bit more fitted, more flirty, and dare we say it, more rock 'n roll, when debuting her French style.

But maybe this outfit is really just a silent protest against the Writer's Strike?

Also: black stockings - nooo.

I'm sure Chanel gave her the outfit to wear... plus sheer black stockings are all over the place now, seen at the Preen spring show and the actual Chanel couture show.

I dont like her though. I think she looks like shes 45.

Is there is a high res of that image? I can't really tell she's wearing.

Either way, girl needs to hire a stylist, asap.

Audrey is Blair's idol, not Serena's.

A sexier shoe could've kept her from looking 20 years older than she does here. Also, it's hard to tell from the small picture, but her hair looks matronly, which doesn't help matters. I do like the look of a long cardigan over a nice dress, though.

She's adorable, but she always dresses way beyond her age. Let's check back in with her in two years, and maybe she'll have learned a thing or two about dressing appropriately.

Seriously?! This outfit isn't nearly bad enough to deserve an entire post on how wrong it is. AND black stocking were totally all over the runways. You act as though they were nude stockings or something!

I like Blake but I think she needs the Gossip Girl stylists 24/7 because her personal style stinks. Chanel probably gave her this outfit but I think they should have given it to someone else or something. It really doesn't suit her even if, as a dozen people have pointed out, black stocking were totally all over the runways.

I don't think her outfit is as bad as it has been made out to be. Sure, it's not the best for a Chanel Couture show, but come on...

I think she looks beautiful and sophisticated, and what is wrong with looking sophisticated?

Laia, she TOTALLY looks 45! And it has nothing to do with her clothes. IMO she is the Luke Perry (or whoever the girl was who played Andrea) of Gossip Girl. Anyway, her outfit isn't that bad. I mean it is definitely blah, but is it really deserving of an entire post?

it's true, the shoes are too matronly. and her hairstyle is cute, but she has such pretty hair! she should have worn it down and it would have been more age-appropriate.

I'm with 2:42pm. She's a cutie, and she looks fine. I love the long cardi.

She plays a fashionista... it doesn't mean she is one. It looks like she basically just slapped on a bunch of Chanel. Style > clothes!
