I’d heard that Blake Lively was in Paris, but I thought she was just there for shopping and general vacation stuff. Turns out, Blake is on the hustle. She might not be a good enough actress to score a part without screwing the director, but her tittays are very likely the new face of Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld approves. So I should have nothing else to say, right? If The Anger-Bear likes Blake, she should be one of my girls.
Blake Lively is taking another step on her way to becoming a full-fledged fashion icon. A source tells me…
The Gossip Girl beauty will star in a new ad campaign for Chanel. I’m told she was just in Paris shooting for the French fashion house’s handbag collection. The ads should launch early next year, the source says.
The 23-year-old starlet is no stranger to Chanel.
In July, Lively was one of the designer Karl Lagerfeld’s famous friends in the front row of the Chanel Hauté Couture show during Paris Hauté Couture Fashion Week.
In September, she hit the reopening of the Chanel store in New York’s Soho neighborhood.
She’ll next be seen on the big screen in June in the Green Lantern movie opposite People’s freshly-minted Sexiest Man Alive Ryan Reynolds.

Ugh. I just can’t anymore with Blake. I used to like her just because I thought her body was to die for and her attitude was refreshing, but she’s gotten to the point were she just bugs me. Maybe it was seeing how out-of-place she was in The Town. Maybe it was all of that stuff about her and Ben Affleck. Maybe it’s that Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld are both trying to make her into the next Alexa Chung (ew). I think that last one is it, actually – Blake’s a pretty girl, she’s got a nice body, but in what world is she some kind of young style icon? She’s not. Her clothes are so much worse than whatever Sienna Miller was applauded for – Blake actually makes me miss Sienna.
Sidenote: For those who tuned into LaineyGossip’s Live Blog yesterday, here’s a minor piece of gossip that is probably not true: Ben Affleck might be in Paris too? Hmm….

I hope Coco haunts this bitch for this…no way she is good enough for Chanel.
I think she is gorgeous but her style isn’t my taste at all.
Blake’s body is sick. I think she probably has the best body in Hollywood. And I kind of admire the fact that she’s a straight up hustler when in comes to her career. She’s willing to do whatever, and perhaps whomever, to make this acting/modeling thing “happen” for her. That b*tch wants to be a star REALLY bad, obviously.
She’s so gorgeous
Wait, am I crazy? I don’t understand what is so awesome about her? She’s pretty in a very average high school cheerleader kind of way.
I do, however, applaud her work ethic. Bitch has goals!
Hmm….something must be wrong with my monitor. I’m seeing a plain looking female (in the cream sweater posing with Karl) and a homely one (in a purpley two-piece with matching handbag and Wonder Twins power bracelet). Neither of these women make me explain, “What a smoking BOD!”
Blake is stunning, she looks like a movie star but she needs to work on her acting. Instead of just relying on the casting couch the girl needs to go to acting class.
Well, in the overreaching bimbos category shes a step ahead of alba and biel. They never got karls approval or hustled this much.
Im really surprised she still hasnt found her upgrade A list bf yet. How is she going to be/stay relevant without one?
I have to say, I’m surprised that she has not had 1) blepharoplasty, 2) a nose job, 3) upper lip fillers.
That said … doesn’t she look like a budget Jen Aniston in the face? I know her body is very nice – kudos to her for exercising constantly and not eating. Naw, I’m sure she’s just got a super great metabolism 😉
Whatever the case … girl has awful taste in clothing.
I think Blake’s face is very Plain Jane. Nothing special to look at. I also think she has a very bad boob job. Now, her legs…they are incredible. I am more interested in looking at Karl in these shots. I love Karl.
I don’t hate her, but I don’t really get the hype. This should be Leighton Meester. I LOVE her style.
When was that picture with Lagerfield taken? Her nose looks big in that. If it is an older picture, I’m assuming that would be her old nose. It’s quite the honker!
fully agree with mln76. she has the potential to be huge, but she doesnt have the acting chops to back up just being a pretty face.
eh, she’s ok. boring face, nice body (but fake). i dont really understand why she gets so much praise? its really not that hard to dress yourself if you just say your gonna wear a chanel (or versace, or whatever other fabulous european designer) dress and pick a safe one from straight off the runway. of course shes gonna look great (altho sadly thats much more than i can say for a lot of celebrities, lol). but anytime she tries to get even a little creative she totally misses the mark. i would HARDLY call that a style icon, that is just a joke.
oh and on a side note i saw the town and wowww she sucked. i’m from boston and wanted to throw up hearing her try to do my accent. i really didn’t have much of an opinion on her at all until then. thanks for portraying us boston girls like a friggin cartoon, bitch.
I like her face fine and appreciate that she doesn’t have a button nose but the fact that she has tiny, squinty eyes negates any sex appeal potential. Just my POV.
Natural beauty my a**

I think Blake is radiant, she has beautiful eyes and amazing smile.
She is gorgeous and talented, natural beauty, not botoxed plastic with trout pout like half hollywood talentless starlets.
yes, not natural at all. she is very pretty, but she looks like everyone in LA. Nothing stunning or intriguing like kate moss.
then again keira knightly is chanel covergirl and she is pretty meh too.
talk about a famewhore…
her eyes are smiling, her face is very beautiful!
Look out Blake! The crypt keeper is breathing in the scent of your youth! He will strike at any moment!
Her?
Agree with above posters it is Stunning how far the world of fashion has fallen. Are there no beautiful, glamorous, intelligent, natural French, Italian, Spanish beauties that this ordinary girl, in the pic with Karl she looks like someone from Ladies Home Journal, is climbing the heights of fashion. SHe has to be doing someone important because she is wholly ordinary. WHere’s Sophia loren when you need here?
Jover, I was thinking of Sophia Loren and her gigantic eyes and generous mouth when I posted earlier. Now that’s glamour.
Does anyone else not believe that she is 23? She always looks 30 to me.
I just don’t think she’s that pretty. But I do covet her body, minus the enhanced boobs.
Give her a studded eyebrows and she could be Ke$ha’s sister.
