I admire Blake Lively’s transformation. She used to be a boring, pushy mall girl on a television show. Now she’s the face of Chanel, dating Leonardo DiCaprio and the star of a red carpet for one of the big comic book franchise films. Of course, she still just looks like a mall girl in Chanel, but that’s beside the point. The point? Blake is living the dream, methinks. And she knows it.
These are photos from last night’s LA premiere of The Green Lantern. Blake was pretty much the only high-profile celebrity woman there, so she got to make her big-impact fashion statement without worrying about someone drawing attention away. Blake wore Chanel Couture, of course. I actually don’t hate it – Lagerfeld actually gave her a decent, pretty dress for a change, although the effect of the sheer skirt reminds me of a shower curtain. Also, it’s rather bridal, which… I think might scare Leo off.
Leonardo was not at the premiere (that I can see, although if you told me he met up with Blake at the post-premiere party, I wouldn’t be surprised). But the premiere was a sausage party! Below are photos of Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman (and his wife), Mark Strong (and his wife) and Peter Sarsgard (who I think is so hot).

showercurtain…that was funny.
I was thinking the same.
Lately I keep on seeing dresses that look really nice until I scroll down to the bottom of the picture.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Werq that dress, Blake!
I don’t like the sheer bottom on this gown.
Run Leo Run
It looks like a shower curtain a grannie would have. Maybe she’s wearing white to get back some purity after the nude photos of someone who totally wasn’t her were leaked?
Wedding dress/prom dress/meh dress
why did bateman’s wife wear an art smock
from Target? double meh
Ah Ryan, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Oh Blake is still boring and because bitch never does her hair properly she is very much chick at mall. The dress is very bridal. Maybe her Chanel ADs will make think she is something worthy of all this attention.
Ryan looks adorable. Loves him.
I do not like the dress skirt, and what’s the ratty attachment (clip on braid?) in her hair?
Her hais is a mess, not sure about the dress.
It’s like a mini-Hot Guy Thursday with those gents….
Hmmm. I kinda like the dress if that long, extra sheer fabric were removed. And maybe drop the hem two inches. IDK, a bit bridal, but I still like it. Her hair looks like crap though.
Sorry, the dress is hideous. But I’m loving the way her hair was styled here.
Loving it. The color seems a little “poor dye job” but the braid, the way it’s “casually” combed. Perfect.
Blake still looks greasy and sweaty…can anyone explain how that is? Doesn’t she have a make-up artist???
Anyhows, OMG, Peter Saarsgard….drool…I LOVE him!! Hot, sexy and quirky and slightly dangerous…WOW!!
@Eve: I love her messy ‘do too. It’s the “I just had sex with Leo” look.
The dress is ugly & her hair looks like crap. She never seems to have her hair done. Can’t believe she wore something that covered her legs
It looks like she went for one of her micro mini biscuit grazing dresses, then changed her mind at the last second and stapled a sheet onto the bottom.
She is living the dream, what a lucky girl!
Her hair looks like FRIED HELL again! Amazing! Like she braided two days ago, and hasn’t done a thing to it since. I honestly don’t get it.
Speaking of Blake just found this story about her and the love of her life

I guess their showmance is coming to an end since Green Lantern will be released tomorrow.
She looks like a hot mess.
meh
I wish she will not end like Refaeli. Any news about her lately? It’s amazing how the chick just disappeared.
I don’t like that dress and her hair looks tacky with that braid.
she always has such a smug face. 🙁
After her intentionally leaked nude pics,; she’s now feeling “virginal”… or after being linked to LDC; she’s feels & think that she’s going to get “married anytime soon” – ROTFLMAO!!!
@ Normades:
@Eve: I love her messy ‘do too. It’s the “I just had sex with Leo” look.
That could have actually happened. I mean, in case the relationship is for real and not a PR stunt.
That dress is just ridiculous…
Don’t like the dress and don’t care for Blake … but its nice to see her NOT showing off all her lady bits for a change.
omg thank you! I think Peter Sarsgard is SO hot too…..we are probably some of the only ones. Can we please have him on a HGF?!
Please don’t hurt me, but I’ve seen 2 previews for this movie and it looks incredibly stupid. *ducks objects being thrown my way* Hubs (a true comic book nerd at heart) assures me it’s because Ryan Reynolds is way too young to be playing the character. *covers Hubs’ head from objects being thrown his way*
I’m getting really tired of seeing dresses with the bonus window sheers from the hem to the floor. Pick a design/look that works without the extra fluff, please. That’s when we MAY start taking you seriously. Until then, you’re wearing a dress with drapes.
(Reminds me of Carol Burnett’s parody of GWTW, when she still had the curtain rod in the shoulders of her dress. LOVE Carol Burnett!!)
Kirsten Dunst looked a lot better in her Chanel dress IMO.
If it weren’t for the fact that it fits her well, I would have thought it was another dress Marchesa barfed up.
honestly, she looks great, love the dress and the hair. good for her. done hating on her.
ps bellaluna i always love your comments, they are cute and make me smile =)
The only way this dress is of interest is that it falls into a pattern since the nude pics of Blake not showing any cleavage. The public wants atonement of some kind (somewhat hypocritical in my eyes)or at least her publicists assume so. I think its likely to be legs rather than boobs from now on, which is a shame because it means a repression of her true 24 year old self. i.e she’s young and enjoyed dressing to flatter her body, no shame in that. I agree it looks like Marchesa – terribly overrated brand with very unflattering frou frou dresses. (I can only assume people wear them because of the Weinstein connection) nul points to Chanel.
Actually like the dress and that’s she’s going for a classier look.She won’t actually get it in IMO because the girl just looks cheap.But by sheer force of will and confidant climbing she certainly has moved up the celebrity ladder.I get that capturing Leo, even temporarily is the biggest weapon in her arsenal.I can’t help but think that while his models cashed in on the connection having an actress do it makes him easier prey for publicity and gossip which he hates.I wonder if he’s already tired of having a relationship in which his partner’s name keeps getting him in the press.Much easier to just date a model who won’t be name dropping on talk shows and being asked questions about the relationship.Better to stick to a model who’s captioned picture always reads “Leo DiCaprio’s girlfriend ________ looking hot in the Caribbean wearing a hot pink piece of a bikini.”He’s headed for a “Blake breaks her silence about her romance with Leo and where it all went wrong.”
Don’t like the girl at all, but that dress is ALMOST wonderful. If you got rid of the bottom and made the top part of it drop down a bit farther it would be a lovely summery dress for a girl her age. But as it is it is rather hideous.
Why am I constantly in moderation? I know I don’t always have the most popular opinions, but I think I am respectful to people and not abusive to the celebrities either?
This girl is so busted looking. She looks like a man – seriously i think she is a he and she looks 45 plus. I cant imagine how worn down she is going to look at 30!
She’s still pretty though the dress is pretty fug.
@ Original Bellaluna:
Please don’t hurt me, but I’ve seen 2 previews for this movie and it looks incredibly stupid.
The character itself IS stupid.
P.S.: I’d help you dodge the objects thrown your way but you know…I’m the one who could try to hide from said objects by standing behind your skirt.
EDIT: And Michael K, AGAIN, has the best take on the dress:
http://www.dlisted.com/2011/06/16
Considering Chanel Couture probably costs like over 20,000 a dress, that dress is ugly. She couldn’t stand to cover up without somehow showing off her legs a little. We get it. You have really great legs. The world agrees. Cammie Diaz made an entire career out of her legs and she occasionally covers them up too.
It’s like they decided last minute to add that sheer panel to a mini-dress to make the dress more special or different from what she usually wears.
Why does it remind me of Gisele’s Oscar dress? And why do I now think that Leo’s post Gisele girlfriends style (and cast off) stalk the last supermodel????
Another thing that I’ve noticed…. since a little after November 2010, Blake’s red-carpet facial expressions have changed. They definitely remind me of Gisele’s very animated, cheerful, wide mouthed style. (She’s rumored to have started up with Leo about that time too. Coincidence or another gf trying to copy the one that got away?)
If Blake starts with the palm forward peace sign, I’ll know she’s copying Gisele.
I do not care that it is Chanel. It is fug.
This? Literally made me laugh out loud in the library, which alerted the security guards.
If you have to take away more of the dress than would be left, change color, AND put this over here/there to make it presentable, IT IS A BAD DRESS. This is a bad dress.
And that braid on top of a pony tail thing (pick ONE), with the hair embellishment…ugh…just makes it more of a mess.
Oh and Bellaluna, so far the critics have outright said it IS stupid (22% on Rotten Tomatoes). Here’s one on Lively’s (and others’) performance:
“The humans here sound like Reynolds or a fully Malkoviched Peter Sarsgaard as a mad scientist with an engorged cranium — or far worse: Blake Lively, who’s been cast as Carol Ferris, Hal’s fellow pilot, girlfriend, and cheerleader. I don’t think I’ve experienced such a pulseless degree of acting since whatever last month’s zombie movie was. Zombies, at least, enjoy themselves. I don’t know what Lively’s excuse could be for seeming this undead…”
@ turtle dove, because it is white? other than that I have no idea.
I SO want to fart in this woman’s face. PFFFFT! How ’bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?
She has a buttaface but a great bod…to bad.
@Sigh. Thanks for sharing the Rotten Tomatoes review re: Lively’s less than lively performance. Now I can go to sleep!
