Blake Lively Covers InStyle Australia October

Are the magazine covers down under getting better and better by the month?! We haven't had a Blake Lively cover for what feels like an eternity and quite frankly we want this rectified! Hopefully Blakey and fellow Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester will individually grace our magazine covers in the next few months as they promote the new series of Gossip Girl. I admit this isn't the greatest and most ground-breaking picture of Blake - we've all seen better; we know she can do better, you just need to look at her work with Karl Lagerfeld for proof. But she looks like herself - no frills and gimmicks and not even too much airbrushing. Just cute little Blake Lively being Blake Lively. Can't hate a Blake cover, even if we try really hard.

Sex and the City Prequel IS Happening

It's official, ladies - time to refill your Cosmo glasses and make a toast to a brand new series! Our favourite New York foursome Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are back, but not as we know them. For a start, they will be fresh faced teenagers…and they may look a little different than we are used to. Obviously the producers have had to recruit some new girls and the rumour mill hasn't stopped turning about who will fill those very big designer shoes. 

Blake Lively's name has been thrown around from the get go, so we are hopeful that she will play a part. Whilst we initially thought she would be suited to Carrie's role for obvious reasons, there were many rumours floating around that she'd be playing a young Samantha, leaving the Carrie duty to Elizabeth Olsen. Selena Gomez and Emma Roberts have also been linked to the project but the cast hasn't been confirmed yet. 

The series will be based on the book The Carrie Diaries, written by Candace Bushnell. Who's excited?

Daily Style Crush: Sarah Jessica Parker Pt 2

There are no rules against having the same celebrity style crush twice in one week. And even if there were, we are unleashing our inner rebels and claiming that rules are meant to be broken. Let's face it, nine times out of ten, SJP looks stunning. Flawless. Not a hair out of place etc etc. And this is no exception. 

We are actually in love with this Prabal Gurung Resort 2012 dress and when we saw it on the runway, we had visions of Blake Lively, Olivia Palermo or even a little Kourtney Kardashian casually walking the Upper East Side in it, claiming they were just out doing the "grocery" shopping with four body guards and a camera crew in tow. 

It's a bit of a 'young' dress with the bright block colour and playful prints but now that we've seen Sarah in it, we literally cant imagine anyone coming close to rocking it as well as SJP does. Plus -the platform Charlotte Olympia pumps give it that final Carrie Bradshaw touch; and we're glad she's brought her signature tousled waves back - she OWNS them! 

Daily Style Crush: Blake Lively

Yesterday, we brought you some of out favourite catwalk looks from the Chanel Resort 2012 collection, and told you some of the hottest celebs turned up to support Karl Lagerfeld in person in some of Chanel's greatest designs. Blake Lively was just one of Hollywood's finest to witness the collection live, and looked sensational dressed head to toe in Chanel. What a beauty.

Catwalk Catch-up: Chanel Resort 2012

Where do we start? What a fabulous collection; and it was 100% well worth the wait. Karl Lagerfeld's latest show took place on the glamorous French Riviera yesterday, with all the hottest Chanel celeb-faves in attendance. Blake Lively and Rachel Bilson, two of Uncle Karl's leading ladies of the moment were there showing their support, and showcasing some gorgeous Chanel looks of their very own. So many of the hottest models were walking too; Abbey Lee Kershaw, Karlie Kloss, Natasha Poly (to name but a few...)

There were so many memorable looks from the collection, but the ones that stood out the most were the ones that reminded the audience of a certain Royal Wedding. Do you think Her Majesty the Queen took styling tips from Uncle Karl prior to the big day, or was it the other way round? Either way, the show opened with some lovely yellow numbers which were reminiscent of the Queen's wedding outfit. But Her Majesty's look wasn't the only one to take inspiration from the collection. The bridalwear had more than a few hints of some of the aforementioned wedding attire displayed. The slimline, straight cut dresses were very Pippa Middleton, whilst the lace was of course reminiscent of Kate Middleton's gorgeous dress. 

But we are not for one second insinuating that Karl Lagerfeld has drawn inspiration from other designers and has left the signature Chanel style off the latest runway. The rest of the collection screamed classic Chanel - in fact we think the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may have postponed their honeymoon just so they could pack some last-minute Chanel gear in their suitcases. No? Either way, the collection does seem fit for a princess, Duchess or anyone that exudes style. There were hints of vintage, forties inspired pieces in the collection, and the holiday-wear is exceptional - who wouldn't love to rock up on a beach wearing the latest and greatest Chanel Resort? 

We've managed to pick a few favourites from the collection, but make sure to check out style.com for the whole collection - it's definitely worth it.

What the celebs wore to the Met Gala

The outfits just got better and better throughout the night at the Met Gala, don’t you agree? We don’t think there were many fashion faux pas’ last night, so here is our top 12 (ten was a bit too hard for us!) ultimate favourite looks; well, 13 if you count Uncle Karl :) 

Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson joined Victoria Beckham’s Royal Wedding appearance in proving that being fabulous doesn’t stop when you’re pregnant.

Scarlett Johansson's new red locks

Scarlett Johansson is the latest A-lister to get on the redheaded bandwagon. Gossip Girl Blake Lively revealed her new do last week when she channeled Disney's Ariel in a floor sweeping mermaid style green dress. Drew Barrymore and Mandy Moore have also recently dyed their locks red. What do you think of ScarJo's new colour?

Blake Lively showcases new red hair

Blake Lively wowed us twice when she turned up on the Red Carpet at the Time 100 Gala in New York looking like this. And red was the first thing that sprang to mind when we saw the pictures, as she debuted her gorgeous new red hair colour.


She follows in the recent colour-change footsteps of Mandy Moore and Drew Barrymore. The second part of her appearance we couldn't help noticing was her Zuhair Murad Couture dress. Miss Lively opted for the even more daring version of the dress, but the thing we love about this Gossip Girl is that she can pull off almost anything - and pull it off she definitely did!

Blake Lively in Marchesa Autumn/Winter 2011

Blake Lively's been making some super stylish appearances of late, but this is by far our favourite ensemble. 

The dress barely made it off the runway before the gorgeous Blake Lively was given the opportunity to wear it. She accessorised it with beautiful Brian Atwood 'Helena' heels, proving that she's not only able to carry the look off perfectly, but can team it up with the most suitable accessories. We are loving lace this season, and this is just another reason why!

Blake Lively for Chanel Mademoiselle Handbags – parts 2 and 3

Oh, how Chanel love to tease us with the gradual release of campaign pictures.

Check out the latest two to be released from the Chanel vault.

There were some criticisms floating around regarding Miss Lively’s first picture, with the consensus being that her beauty wasn’t as apparent and on show as it should have been. We however, think it was a superb pic to get the Chanel ball rolling; very bold and daring, with a little hint of Black Swan.

But, no one can accuse the newest pictures from hiding her face or indeed her beauty. We hope these will go down better, as we can’t fault them.

Flawless!

Blake Lively's campaign for Chanel Mademoiselle Handbags
