As I’ve mentioned before, Blake Lively’s boobs are the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line – the first ad is below, and it’s pretty basic. Still, Blake being associated with such a high-end luxury brand definitely helps her image, and it ups her credibility as a “Fashion Girl”. Plus, we get all of these marvelous photos of her at events for Chanel, with Karl Lagerfeld. Blake loves every minute of it. The Kaiser does NOT.
Anyway, these particular photos are from the Chanel event over the weekend during Paris Fashion Week. Blake got time off of Gossip Girl and was all over Paris to shill Chanel. This white and silver outfit is Chanel too – I actually like the ensemble, and it looks nice on Blake, but I totally see what many commenters have noted about Blake: she’s pretty, but it’s in a very plain way. She looks like a cheerleader, or just some random blonde that Lagerfeld pulled out of a mall. Plus, she’s losing too much weight. Where I used to think she had one of the best bodies of any of the young fashion girls, she’s really beginning to look much too thin for my taste.

Her dress is really beautiful, what are the pre-reqs for becoming a fashion designer’s muse? Asskissing?
I don’t see how she is appealing, at all…but then he picked Lily Allen. While I like lily allen’s music, I didn’t find her visually appealing either.
Wow her head seems to be huge. Her face looks old. Next.
too thin average mall girl. She’s not fashionable, she’s not even that pretty.
hahahaaha @aa
that’s EXACTLY what i thought. Plus, why does everyone call SJP a horse, but they never say anything about Blake? She used to have an awesome body. Now i wouldn’t want to stand near her for fear of having her collarbone poke my eye out.
What’s with her mouth-wide open smile/pose? She waiting for Lagerfeld to put something in there or what?! Her acting sucks, maybe that’s how she got her spot on Gossip Girl. Plain Jane…I’m so over her. She’s about interesting as watching paint dry.
Beautiful ,prettier than anyone here
I think Roseanne Bar would look like a mall girl next to Lagerfeld.
Blake looks wonderful in these pics. She has a genuine smile and energetic persona. No pouty pout or diva model.
Like those commercials where two arm-in-arm gals walk down fifth avenue so happy their panty liners haven’t shifted and their femine hygiene product is working.
Refreshingly nice pics.
KL is the biggest douche…But what woman (or guy for that matter) WOULDN’T want to be the face or boobs or legs of CHANEL? At least he’s got the talent to back up the ‘tude, she certainly does not
That dress is gorge!
True beauty
She reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker in regards to how people put her on a fashion pedestal, when they’re average at best. But even that said I think she looks great and has every right to enjoy the attention and the money that goes along with it. I like Blake a lot and think Chanel could have done a lot worse.
I think she is beautiful, but I do not think that she has charisma.
Cute girl. As far as the, under the age of 25, set of girls that are running around. She does not annoy me.
It is hard to believe that our crack hustling girl Lohan is exactly one year older than Blake. One year!
So Blake is a little thin. But she is one of the faces of Chanel. So it is expected.
But one look at those shoes on her feet make me ache.
There is no way those shoes are not painful to wear and walk in… for any amount of time.
I dont understand the haters ,she’s really really beautiful .She’s really good for Chanel
I kind of don’t get her appeal (except that she does have great legs). But she looks like an older Jane Seymour to me.
Beautiful face ,gorgeous body ,perfect life ,haters gonna hate ,she’ll become more and more successful
Great legs, but getting too skinny. Also, she has some major lines in her face for someone that young.
I give her a few years top.
I like her but I think she’s lost too much weight. But that’s Hollywood for ya. Article from NY Times about how she became Fashion’s new It Girl.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/fashion/06BLAKE.html?ref=fashion
I don’t get Lagerfeld and Chanel. It’s very luxurious brand and they are hiring one hit wonder singer or c-list tv actress. What the hell?
Riley, she does look like Jane Seymour! I never watched The OC or Gossip Girl or whatever she was on, so she doesn’t bug me. She looks pretty good here, although she does need to stop posing with her pie hole open.
I don’t get why people find her gorgeous. If she walked by me on the street I wouldn’t even take a second glance. She looks like the million of other blondes out there.
I envy her her legs. After years of athletic activity, I have decided that you have to be born with those legs. If running marathons hasn’t given them to me nothing will! *grumble*
she looks old? she has lines in her face?
this is the kind of insanity that causes 20something actresses to get botox (new trend).
people on this site (rightly) criticize photshopping and frozen face, yet they rag on a gorgeous woman who might have a few laugh lines.
She’s very pretty, but she’s also just kind of there. I think people would warm to her more if she didn’t have “Try” coming out of her pores. If she smiled big but with her mouth closed, she would also look less “mall.” But nevertheless, I buy her as a fashion girl. I think she wears wonderful things that not a lot of other people can pull off.
Blake Lively is lost on me. She’s not pretty at all (what must she look like w/o make-up?)and exudes nothing in photos.
@bagladey:TBH,she looks prettiest w/o makeup,plus she looks drop dead gorgeous in motion
She looks like a younger version of Sarah Jessica Parker.
Her coke/meth/speedy-substance-of-choice diet is aging her face. The only cute thing in these pics is the bag. Dress, shoes, & lollipop are all unappealing.
You have to wonder about Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour’s taste if they think she’s the epitome of young American womanhood. Tacky nose job, chicken legs, horse head, and she’s sort of over, isn’t she?
She looks good in this outfit, and good nuff for Chanel so whatever. It’s true she’s just another face out there, meaning, she doesn’t have that something special to set her apart from all the other pretty mall girls lol, but you know, mall girls need a role model – that’s where they can buy their Chanel, so it’s a win/win for Blake.
She looks like a younger January Jones.
She’s stunning
Ugh. Plastic fakeness. Everything about her. I’ve had enough vapidity with this one….
@dread: I hate to agree with you that I think she is using some kind of substance but I totally think she is. Her face is not milky, dewy, and fresh a la Reese Witherspoon. She looks like she has been partying a wee bit too much.
@Wiggles
But you always can find the most beautiful girls in the mall,even more beautiful than hollywood actresses.
@AngelMay
At least I know you’ll never be a elite.Everyone remarked how she’s gorgeous and amazing after working with her,so stop bashing this beautiful girl
Yeah she’s so amazing to work with that none of her GG costars even showed up at her NY event to support her.lol
Kind of makes sense, you want someone attractive enough to get attention to your product but not too gorgeous to overwhelm it. Thanks to Neelyo for the link the article was interesting. She’s considered “optimistic” for these tough economic times. But she’lll need to make a choice; concentrate on being an “it” girl which lasts as long till the next one comes along or work on her acting skills that will have a longer life.
gosh she’s so boring! i just don’t like her face. she’s not that pretty at all. she has great legs and shoes though..
I don’t get her. She’s pretty. She’s an average kind of pretty. She doesn’t have some other-worldly element that Lagerfield seems to think she does, though.
She just looks like the cute hostess at Ruby Tuesday to me.
The prettiest girl on GG ,hate serena tho,but Blake is perfect
I find Blake very meh. She’s a product they are selling but she doesn’t really have the goods and they are hoping you won’t notice by distracting you with all the clothes etc.
She’s looking quite the lollipop at the moment. Perfect for Lagerfeld.
I saw The Town on the weekend and thought she pulled off the white trash look VERY well. So much so I’m thinking maybe she’s closer to that that haute couture. I don’t mean that as bitchy as it sounds, just can’t be bothered trying to find other words. So ultimately I guess I mean more mall girl than true beauty. Then again, most of our true beauties aren’t run of the mill conventional looking…. no… she’s still not a true beauty.
she looks too thin. like underfeeding. her head and torso almost look the same size.
she has major lines around her mouth.
Jenny #6, anyone where? Surely you are not talking about people commenting on this site ’cause that would be really stupid. So again Jenny, where?
I think she’s beautiful. Maybe a little thin but who in hollywood isnt a little thin.
Oh man, I hadn’t realized until now that she’d suddenly lost all that weight! That’s too bad. She looked better before.
Really hating what these girls let the industry do to them.
I still think she looked most beautiful and true to herself wearing those soccer duds in the first Traveling Pants movie!
It’s funny with Lagerfeld’s Chanel pieces of late: they look great on the models, but start to look shabby even on emaciated actresses. On the red carpet, Chanel frocks have recently been a regular on worst-dressed lists. Just not made for human proportions, I guess?
Nuh uh. So average.
I could be wrong, but it looks like she’s had MORE work done on her nose. After she got the nose job back in ’07 , her nose was still a little bulbous and it was cute. Now it looks even thinner, almost too thin for her face.
You know, I have never seen her acting so don’t have that to sway me. Give her props on her legs. They are gorgeous. What pressure these young girls must be under to keep their weight down. As long as one is eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis, then it is all good. Hope she isn’t starving herself.
LMAO
I sometimes ask myself why I keep reading the comments here when they enrage me 99% of the time, and then I remember … Rita.
I didn’t know Lively had stans..
Im sorry but she is nothing special..looks so average to me
Agree marc I think the fashion houses are slumming and/or getting paid off – Armani thinks that Megan Fox epitomizes class and style, after all. And angelmay we all know Wintour has ruined Vogue, but I thought in order to be the “it” girl you had to have charisma, personality be able to discourse on the arts, literature, music, etc. but I’m showing my age. Anyway, how many young women even pay attention to Boobs let alone take their fashion from her. I’m curious?
BELOW the waist, she’s on FIRE!!
ABOVE it, shes SUPER BORING!
*also, she seems sooo freaking happy! i think this is the 1st time iv seen a genuine emotion on her face!
She makes a great Chanel model and is really photogenic.
I don’t think you can be a “true beauty” with all the work she’s had done…
The thing with Blake is that she’s got all the right packaging (tall,long legs, long blond hair, fake boobs, a body to die for, all the right clothes) but the girl has marginal talent and ZERO personality (see January Jones and Amanda Seyfried). And because of that she’s not going to become the A-lister she wants to be, at least those who know they aren’t the most talented have a personality. They aren’t just THERE…
That gray/silver Chanel is gorgeous by the way!
Flavor of the month at best. Too bad, she does have great legs, but any more weight loss will make the edges of her implants visible. Not a good look. Even Posh had to dump her concrete tits before Wintour would consider her.
I wish they’d stop with the celeb model-they don’t know how to move.
She is not a true beauty at all. She is just ok looking. If she wasnt tall with her long legs no one would look twice.
I am very suprised KL who usually picks exquisite women for face of Chanel picked her?! She is very mall model looking.
I wonder who she slept with to get this gig? She has that reputation.
What’s with the open mouth smile? She looks like Miss. Piggy.
She just looks so harsh. Some else said she’s lacking that “fresh-faced, youthful” look, which I agree. It’s the partying. She needs to just take care of her face a bit, drink water and lay off the alcohol or whatever substance she’s using so she can get back that 20-something glow.
She has the rode hard and put away wet used up stripper look! Way to harsh for a 20 something. She also looks very tranny.
I wouldnt use anything she was promoting even if it was free
She’s overrated. I dont hate her, but she is not high fashion.
blah
Great legs, pretty hair, but yes, mall girl all the way. I can’t believe Chanel is paying her. It actually makes me think less of the brand.
She looks…hungry. I do think she is pretty, but in a generic way, much like many blondes in HW.
this lovely tidbit from Jenny: Beautiful ,prettier than anyone here
***********
Really? You know that how? I have a feeling some of these ladies around here are BEAUTIFUL and I don’t ned a picture to tell me that. Beauty comes from within and radiates outward.
My husband says I’m prettier than any of the Hollywood girls, and while he’s full of crap, that he says it or possibly even thinks it, is all I need.
Anyone think her facial structure looks eerily similar to Lagerfeld in that pic of them at the table? Maybe that’s why he likes her…
I envy her height and legs. But I do prefer her with more weight on her.
I think she makes a good fashion girl because of her body type. She has the height for modeling but she still has some curves, although she seems intent on losing them.
As for her face, it is rather plain looking. The weight loss makes it more so. Her face isn’t very “high fashion” either, most high fashion girls have more angular faces.
But overall, I still like her for some reason. I think it’s her body.
I love Gossip Girl. Blake is a plain pretty girl, you nailed it when you said mall girl or cheerleader that could be found in any HS. I’ve noticed on GG that shes only pretty when her hair is down. When its up her face isnt special enough to keep my attention. She is losing alot of weight and you can really notice in pic 4. She also looks like shes smiling out of control like tom cruise! whats up with that? btw LOVE LOVE LOVE your site! I’ve been an avid reader for years XOXO
@ Liana I completely agree.
i can’t stand this girl, i think she is overrated in terms of both talent and looks. fake body, average face, nothing special there. what makes me dislike her is her shadiness above all else. sketchy sketchy chick. desperate too. all of that aside, i do kinda like her as a fashion plate tho. she’s always interesting in that way. sometimes i like her choices, sometimes i don’t. sometimes i do but she gets it wrong (thats when i really get ticked off lol). i totally get what anna wintour and karl lagerfeld see in her. i think the fact that she IS average is what’s attractive to them. she looks fresh faced and all-american. at the end of the day they are trying to sell their sh*t and a chanel dress on a mall girl cheerleader makes high fashion look accessible to americans. i love chanel, i mean i LOOOOVE chanel; and if I were to wear a chanel dress ever in my life, i’d wanna wear it in the same way that she does because as much as i love high fashion i wouldn’t ever really wanna look high fashion.
btw i know she’s not the most beautiful girl in the world but some pple are being so harsh. tranny? meth head? really? come ON. no need to go there, she does not look like anything more or less than the average 23 yr old blond that she is.
Average cute all American girl! no talent…next!
With the way these comments are going, it doesn’t seem like people here are beautiful at all.
Seriously, check out comments 62 through 70. Some people here just repeat what others say, like the whole “mall girl” thing. I don’t even think I’ve ever heard that phrase until this post.
You don’t have to be nice, just think for yourself.
She looks like Evan Rachel Wood in that Chanel shot, otherwise she’s looking more and more “fake”.
@neelyo: ugh, that article was annoying. What a waste of space for the NYT.
Close your mouth. Yuck.
Beautiful body, tired face.
Beautiful. She should stick to modeling. I love gossip girl, but the only thing she brings to the show is pretty hair and legs. Haven’t seen much else she’s been in, but she seems to be a boring actress. She doesn’t look too thin, but she shouldn’t lose anymore weight. Seems like Celebitchy is always screaming ANOREXIA about everyone. Love her clothes though.
