From the New York Post -
Blake quake! - How the hottest 'Gossip Girl' became NYC's sexiest style icon
From traveling pants to practically no pants — Blake Lively has learned to accessorize naturally. As in, with the assets she was born with — boobs and gams. The actress has come along way since she made her debut in the the 2005 film version of the best-selling young adult novels, “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.”
These days, she takes things a bit further (or higher, really, if we’re talking hemlines) as Upper East Side fashionista-about-town Serena van der Woodsen on “Gossip Girl.” In the role, she gallivants around town showing off her long legs (she’s 5-foot-10) in barely-there skirts and sky-high Louboutins, and perfectly perky breasts in deep-plunging necklines.
When posing on red carpets in real life, though, she also sports skimpy shorts, bustiers and high heels. Blake Lively, 23, is a classic case of life imitating art. Her sexy, all-American figure and blond hair are the kind of features Katy Perry lyrics are hinged on. (Lively, a “California Gurl” herself, was born in LA, the daughter of two actors and the youngest of five siblings.) She didn’t always know how to work it, though.
"When I first met her, she didn’t know about fashion,” says “Gossip Girl” costume designer Eric Daman, calling The Post from the Saks shoe department where he’s shopping for Lively’s character, choosing between Louboutin boots and suede Fendi pumps. “She was more Forever 21 than Chanel.”
But after four seasons of being schooled in the art of chic, Lively has picked up some tips and tricks from her character and Daman, who now likens her to a modern-day Grace Kelly.
“It’s been great helping her understand brands and being a part of her growth,” says Daman. “She really has a passion and obsession for it and it’s amazing that she’s that girl from the Valley who’s turning into this Couture-Week-in-Paris, Hanging-Out-With-Galliano-Girl.”
He’s not the only famous friend she’s hanging out with. Lively, who appears in Ben Affleck’s “The Town” next week, not to mention as Ryan Reynolds’ love interest in “Green Lantern,” out next year, counts designer Karl Lagerfeld, shoe star Christian Louboutin and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour as pals. In fact, the twosome sat front and center together at Lincoln Center this week.
“I think Anna Wintour is a big supporter because [Lively] is a good representative for her demographic,” says Daman, who adds that Lively doesn’t have a personal stylist. “Her biggest vice is expensive shoes and staying home and baking brownies — not running around town without panties or being arrested for having too much ‘gum’ in her purse. She’s a breath of fresh air in that way. She has an amazing body and isn’t some skinny little waif and Anna realizes that.”
This past June marked Lively’s fourth time in Wintour’s Vogue since 2008, and after appearing on the September covers of Interview and British Marie Claire, a case can be made for passing Hollywood’s couture crown from Sarah Jessica Parker to Lively.
“She’s got beautiful skin, an amazing head of hair and a great figure,” says designer Michael Kors, who took the actress to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last year. “Even if she wears a plunging neckline it never turns in to anything sleazy. She’s all-American sexy. She’s Christie Brinkley. And Brinkley in a plunging dress would never be cheesy.”
Designer Anna Sui, who based her capsule collection for Target on the characters of “Gossip Girl,” is also impressed with Lively’s style progression. She calls the actress’ look “polished with a touch of vamp,” and thinks girls are initially attracted to the character, but end up following Lively’s life in the tabloids.
“When I was recently in China, I met girls who were totally obsessed with ‘Gossip Girl,’” she says. “They wanted me to tell them about the Upper East Side and Williamsburg! I think the show is very influential on how girls like to dress today, all over the world.”
It’s global style domination, one C-cup at a time.
