Blake Lively Is the New Face of L’Oreal
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
After spending some time out of the spotlight - presumably due to her wedding to Ryan Reynolds last year - Blake Lively has emerged as the new spokesmodel for L'Oreal Paris.
The 26 year-old Gossip Girl veteran was recently unveiled as the latest face of the cosmetic giant, who released two black and white images of Lively (the second can be seen after the jump) today in celebration of the announcement.
"I grew up with the inspiration of [L'Oreal's] message, 'We're worth it.' What an important value to instill in women... That is why I'm so proud to be a L'Oreal Paris woman," the actress said in a statement. "I am thrilled and honored to join the incredible women who represent L'Oreal Paris."
Like her predecessors before her - Eva Longoria, Scarlett Johansson (who happens to be her husband's ex-wife), Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce among them - Lively is likely to star in numerous hair and makeup campaigns that are probably going to be so ubiquitous that you'll contemplate cancelling your cable and/or Hulu service.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Blake Lively helped to design her wedding dress.
The Gossip Girl actress - who married actor Ryan Reynolds in a surprise ceremony in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, last month - collaborated directly with Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman to ensure she walked down the aisle in her dream dress.
Georgina, who owns the brand with Keren Craig, said, "Blake has such an innate style. I've worked with her so many times and know her so well."
The blonde Savages star - who is well known for her love of fashion - wore a custom-made beaded gown featuring a silk tulle bodice and rose-gold embroidery. The Marchesa designer praised the 25-year-old actress's sense of style, and said she "has a very clean sense of fashion... she was very involved."

Gucci Girl Blake Lively
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
The Gossip Girl actress will represent the Italian fashion house's Gucci Première, a new scent created to represent the brand's red-carpet-inspired line of the same name. This is Blake's first ever fragrance campaign and she says it's a huge honor.
"Gucci is a staple. It is a brand I have always looked up to because to me it represents strength. In their designs, in their images, in what they stand for philanthropically, and especially in their fragrance... I couldn't be more proud to be working with Gucci and its heart, Frida."
Gucci creative director Frida Giannini says she chose 24-year-old Blake "because she is a girl of extraordinary beauty and a girl who loves fashion."
"Although she's young, she's also very determined, and I liked this spirit... she knows how to be a diva in the right sense, with an aspirational glamour," she added.
Blake Lively Already Has Louboutin’s Spring Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Blake Lively has already had the Christian Louboutin Spring collection delivered to her house.
The fashionista - who is rarely seen without a pair of the designer's shoes - had her own sneak preview of his latest range, ahead of New York Fashion Week, which kicked off yesterday.
"My gosh, the spring collection was sent to my house today, and they're so beautiful. They're amazing. I walked around my apartment wearing them."
Her favorites are a pair of "cage, crystal-encrusted shoes and one with a feather detail coming off them."
Gossip Girl star Blake has previously admitted to buying up to 40 pairs of Louboutins at a time, and although she doesn't have her own stylist, is a personal friend of Christian, who advises her on which pair to wear and takes her cues from stars past.
She added her muses are "Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly. I love the sophistication. I love every single detail. I would love if I could wear little cut-off gloves every day. That would make me so happy. I'd go to a grocery store in a beautiful hat with lace dripping over the eye."

Items Du Jour: Kim Kardashian on Glamour, Lady Gaga Tops Magazine Sales
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
-- Lady Gaga scored the highest number of monthly and bi-weekly magazines sold. Not surprisingly, the Rolling Stones cover with a nice view of her rear end sold 245,000 copies -- three times the magazine's 2010 average. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were the worst-selling celebrities.
-- Elle magazine's parent company Lagardere is in talks with Hearst (Harper's Bazaar publisher) to sell all 40-plus foreign editions of the fashion glossy (sans the original French version) as soon as the end of the month. Lagardere claims it will keep full editorial control, despite whatever happens in the sale.
-- Kim Kardashian covers Glamour in pajamas, which she makes look incredibly sexy, despite what she says in her interview: "I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things." This must explain why she constantly poses nude or in skin-tight outfits.
-- Androgynous model Andrej Pejic stars in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Ginta Lapina. One can actually detect that he's most likely a guy in the photo.

Blake Lively Trained With Cirque du Soleil for Role
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Actress and stylish celebrity Blake Lively credits gymnastic acrobatics for her newly-toned figure.
The Gossip Girl actress had to get in shape to play villainess Star Sapphire in new movie Green Lantern and spent hours training with members from the Cirque du Soleil to give her the body she needed.
She told Vogue, “All I want is to be a hero to my nephews and nieces. I’m going to be the coolest aunt ever. Our director likes it real - the fights close and dirty. I’m 40 feet in the air, spiralling around. That’s the best workout you can ever do because it’s all core. You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It’s so exhilarating, so thrilling - and nauseating.”
The 22-year-old beauty’s personal trainer also confirmed Blake had put in that extra bit of effort to get into tip-top shape. Bobby Strom told Us Weekly, “She always looks good. But she has to do stunts, so we’re focusing on core and strength training. Her workout routine includes four-day-a-week, 90-minute circuit training sessions full of planks, push- ups and walking lunges in a gym near the film’s New Orleans set. She looked at her stomach and said, ‘I have abs!’”
