This is Blake Lively at a screening of The Lives of Pippa Lee last night in New York. That’s right - New York! Not Los Angeles, where this outfit might be slightly weather-appropriate. Blake wore what boiled down to a pair of hotpants and a fitted, barely-there blazer… and nothing else. Now, I love me some Blake (I think she’s gorgeous), but her fashion sense sometimes falls on the wrong side of “oh my God put on some clothes and stop showing everyone your ladies”. This is one of those times. I would maybe (maybe) accept this blazer/jacket thing with nothing underneath, if Blake had paired it with a nice skirt (that didn’t show her cooch) or a pair of actual pants (which I don’t think Blake owns). This girl and her short shorts. In late fall/early winter! It’s crazy.
In other Blake/fashion news, the rumor going around is that Victoria Beckham has selected Blake Lively to be the face of her Spring 2010 collection. It’s just a rumor at this stage, but I could see it happening. Blake wore Beckham to an event a few weeks ago, and she looked really cute.
Not happy with being her own living embodiment of her brand, Victoria Beckham has reportedly enlisted the help of Gossip Girl star Blake Lively to model her Spring 2010 collection of dresses. The blonde actress who is known for playing Serena van der Woodesen on the hit television series met Beckham in New York during fashion week this September and “got along famously” the Daily Mail reports.
The new found friendship has reportedly also ready resulted in a guest appearance by Beckham on Gossip Girl so only time will tell if Lively will return the love by modeling for her.
Lively has been seen on red carpets wearing Beckham’s Spring 2010 designs, but it was Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) that has worn her designs on the show.
Meanwhile, earlier this month Beckham told Britiah Harpers Bazaar about how she would like to dress Burberry model and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, calling her “so sweet, so true to herself”. So perhaps she’s just putting a few iron’s in the fire to see who says yes first?

Meh. It may be a smart collaboration - God knows, I doubt Posh could get anyone more famous or fashionable. Emma Watson is a pipe dream at this point - Emma’s the face of Burberry, for the love of God. Like Emma would deign to wear Posh’s clothes. As for the business side of the alleged venture - well, the kids like Blake, and Blake likes wearing tight clothes. Makes sense to me. Let’s hope Posh’s Spring line isn’t dominated by booty shorts!
