Her character in
Gossip Girl,
Serena Van der Woodsen, has a natural inclination to elegant outfits, stylish clothes and an
immaculate look - displayed at those grand New York nights, as well as every morning when she goes to Columbia University.
It appears that the American actress
Blake Lively, 23, is just the same: in the blink of an eye, she has become one of the world's most admired fashion icons - she was in Vogue America's
2010 Best Dressed list - and a cult TV actress.
Karl Lagerfeld has noticed too:
Chanel's creative director appears to have chosen her as his muse for 2011.
According to still-unofficial rumours, Blake could be the
face of the fashion house with the double intertwined C's for next
spring/
summer. The actress's passion for
Chanel - apparently reciprocated - has been noted. Not only was Blake in the front row of Chanel's October show at the Grand Palais, she was next to Lagerfeld at the opening of the Chanel shop in Soho.
