Blake Lively goes downmarket in Jason Wu for Target: cute or busted?

These are new photos of Blake Lively at two events yesterday – one with Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, who made some kind of mayoral proclamation for Gossip Girl’s 100th episode. I guess they get special attention because Gossip Girl is one of the few shows set in NYC that actually shoots in the city? Probably. And plus, His Honor just loves Gossip Girl. There are also photos of Blake (and Chloe Moretz) at the launch of Jason Wu’s line for Target. It seems like kind of a budget, down-market event for Blake, but I’m guessing she did as a favor to Jason Wu, whom she wants to develop a relationship with. I’m not really loving Blake’s Jason Wu outfit, though – it doesn’t do anything for her, or maybe I’m just not used to seeing her T&A so covered up. Who are you, Blake?

Meanwhile, the tabloids managed to find another angle on the boringness that is Blake and Ryan Reynolds. According to In Touch Weekly, Blake is totes jealous of Ryan’s continuing relationship with Scarlett Johansson:

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had their first big fight after she put her foot down over his still-close relationship with ex-wife Scarlett Johansson. Although Blake’s rep denies the fight, “Ryan said Scarlett will always be a part of his life no matter what,” says an insider, adding Ryan accused Blake of being insecure.

“She stormed out, furious!” the source claims.

After Ryan’s take-it-or-leave-it stance, Blake has been trying to set up a dinner with ex Leonardo DiCaprio out of revenge.

One, I don’t even think Ryan and ScarJo are even that close any more. I mean, they weren’t even that close when they were married, why start now? Two, Blake really doesn’t seem like the jealous type. She doesn’t seem like the girl who will “demand” that her boyfriend stop spending time with someone. Three, don’t even give me BLEO hope. I miss Bleo. Bleo is never going to happen again, is it?

    Blake looks sooo old compared to Chloe…I know she’s only 14 but Blake looks aged!

    & Blake still looks greasy and unkempt…however she is styled she always looks slightly off

    • helvetica says:

      IKR, in 5th thumb pic, she already has wrinkles on her forehead. 4th thumb,sagging cheeks. Is she really 24?

      • Rolling My Eyes says:

        Oh no! She has wrinkles, burn her at the stake! Gimme a break… and then you’ll still be the first to complain when Nicole Kidman/Gwyneth etc get Botox.

        No wonder even normal 24 year olds are getting Botox now, it’s hard so hard to keep up with you people’s insecurities and standards of beauty.

    • curious says:

      whoever thinks this woman looks “aged” needs some therapy, because the media has done a terrible number on your sense of aging, beauty and nature. it’s like the only choice you leave for women is to get botox or commit suicide when they are no longer wrinkle-free.

      • helvetica says:

        In my OWN opinion she does look older for 24 years old in comparison to the other actress who were born in 1987 like Evan Rachel Woods,Ellen Page, or Rosie Huntington W.
        I didn’t say she’s aged, but she looks older thatn 24
        And it’s not like i’m the first person who said that

      • Riana says:

        There is something very old-looking about Blake, her and Gaga 10 years older in the face, that’s gott be rough.

      • Lis says:

        @Riana:

        I think Gaga is lying about her age.

        There was an interview in the London Times (sadly, behind a firewall) where she talks about honing her craft by performing in really adult, harsh bars in NYC.

        Of course, in the timeline she gives, she would have had to have been about 14 years old at the time.

        She tried to cover up by saying that her mother accompanied her and persuaded the bouncers to let a minor in to perform. At a club. Where alcohol is served.

        What would make more sense is that she was (at least) 18 at that time, and she’s simply lying about her age.

        She looks older, anyway.

      • Ruby Red Lips says:

        @ Curious, I do think Blake looks ‘aged’ – she looks older than 24 years old.

        It has nothing to do with the media, just simply that some people don’t age as well as others – Blake being one who is ageing faster than her peers – this is not news and nothing new it has always happened. Its to do with genes and lifestyle, I think you are overreacting slightly.

        The point is that most 24 year olds don’t have wrinkles and don’t look years older, and I personally disagree with botox etc and find it disturbing that young teenegers and 20 year olds, let alone any woman, are even contemplating botox.

        Blake is ageing and rapidly – fact!

      • Emily says:

        I think she’s just had too much time in the sun. I’m 24, and she looks a couple years older than me and my friends.

    • Shanunya says:

      When did she start resembling SJP?

  2. helvetica says:

    Ooh, finally she’s wearing something that doesn’t show her tits or her legs.

    I miss BLEO too, but i don’t think that will happen. Blake jumped to Ryan seconds after they broke up, so Leo’s ego must be bruised.

  3. Roma says:

    I do like the shade of blonde that she’s wearing now.

  4. Girl says:

    That is not a good skirt unless you are super skinny. And even then, meh. For average to larger sized women, drawing they outwards/making the hips look larger is not a great thing. Looks ok on her I guess but she is modeling an outfit to be sold at Target, right?

    • Kata says:

      Weirdly, the outfit she is wearing is definitely not Jason Wu for Target- the trench coat she had on top is. But the top and skirt must be from the regular Jason Wu line.

  5. Jules says:

    She makes Blohan look good for her age. When did Lively get those horse teeth?

  6. Lady Satan says:

    Oh not the hip ruffle dress again! We did this in the 80s and it was hideous then! Stop recycling the worst of 1980s fashion, it was awful then and it’s awful now.

    Not that there was actually any best of 1980s fashion… :/

  7. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I have major Bleo nostalgia right now.

    • Asli says:

      Never thought BLEO would last. Leo is a known womanizer. He’s like a younger version of George Clooney, only he doesn’t bring his pieces to premieres and award shows. Except for Giselle, I remember them going to the Globes or Oscars. He gets women left and right without commiting to any of them. Why fix it if it ain’t broke, is probably his logic.

  8. Kristen says:

    DAN HUMPHRIES’ HAIR.

  9. Lis says:

    (1) Her makeup is terrible. Look at her forehead. See the different colours?

    Also, her hands seem to be a different colour from the rest of her.

    (2) I like Blake’s coat, but I’m not sure that it’s event appropriate.

    (3) I like her rings. I have freakishly tiny hands, so I can’t wear big rings.

    *consumed with jealousy*

    (4) There’s something off about the dress. Maybe without the ruffles? Maybe change the cut a little?

    (5) She’s really very pretty. I don’t get the “butterface” insults.

    She does, however, look a little older than 24. (I didn’t learn her age until recently, and I was surprised.)

    I dunno, maybe she has sun damage. Or maybe she or her team shaved a few years off her age. Considering what happens to “old” actresses, I wouldn’t blame her,

  10. Julie says:

    Who knows how Blake really is? I mean REALLY. You can’t buy into Lainey’s profile of these folks…she called folks like Cameron D. & Kate Hudson man eaters when I think the evidence has shown them to be needy and insecure, sometimes desperate IMO. Blake could be jealous, in fact most anyone can be to a degree. So, I’m not so sure the assesment that she has “game” is right; she very well may have been dumped by Leo or left because he wouldn’t take it to the next level and then desperately ran to Ryan. Wasn’t there a 2 damn day difference in these events??? Who knows….

  11. Mimi says:

    I think she looks cute AND busted. Is that even possible? Cuz she’s doing it.

    • Nessa says:

      No, I totally agree! Some pictures I see if her and I think she looks really pretty. Then there are other pictures I’m like…. Yikes. Overall, I would say she is attractive. I mean, she is tall, blonde and has big (fake) boobs. I would kill to have her body… Even if some of it is store bought.

  12. Rolling My Eyes says:

    It’s reassuring to come to celebitchy sometimes really since you can always count on the catty women here projecting their insecurities on starlets. It’s so funny that someone is bringing up ERW since she’s often accused of looking much older than her age as well… I guess you can twist opinions to when it fits your purpose.

    Blake looks absolutely fine, if a little too tan which I guess doesn’t photograph well.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I always say she looks good but I also say Cameron Diaz looks great and everybody else disagrees with me 🙂
      What’s the alternative? Kim Kardashian-freakish unlined waxy face is not attractive (to me at least). I wish people would realize that smile lines are due to smiling a lot. It’s ok to have them, ladies.

    • :P says:

      So also being 24 and simply noticing that she has WAY more wrinkles than myself, makes me insecure? LOL… Sometimes people are simply making observations, I don’t see why that is so hard to fathom.

  13. jasperkitty says:

    I think she looks great. I don’t like the sun myself, but she obviously does. Cute outfit!

  14. Turd Fergussen says:

    Jesus she is so overhyped. I do not see the appeal. At all.

  15. Kara says:

    No offense to her, but I just don’t find her attractive at all. I really don’t get the appeal.

  16. stephanie says:

    god those skirts with like saddlebags built in are awful. why do people do this? I feel like she’s worn an upmarket version of this exact outfit to some chanel event.

    • kimberly says:

      ur so right!

      I’m just glad bandage dresses are gone, sorry but ladies really looked so low class in them! It was sad to watch these expensive dresses being worn that look like a hooker should be wearing them for her craigslist ad.

  17. Mae says:

    I like it ok. Not bad, not great. Im 25 and I look really young for my age but I have friends that look older than Blake. I dont think she’s lying about her age.

  18. lol123 says:

    Ryan and Scarjo do hang out. They went to the Radiohead concert together last year.

    It almost looked like a stringing-along-the-ex situation, after seeing them together a couple times late last year. I think deep down Ryan still has feelings for her that won’t go away easily.

    sigh, they were a purty couple.

  19. kimberly says:

    it’s sad that this bitch is on this website because she’s not really a celebrity, well not anymore anyways 🙂

    She’s on a CW show that is slipping in the rating and is guaranteed to be the next One Tree Hill, if you know what I mean, because I don’t see too many posts about any of those people and appreciate it!

  20. original sandy says:

    i didn’t know her age, but i find her older looking also, it’s like she’s been around the block a few times, truth, no axe to grind, i don’t even know her work, i keep seeing her pop up on red carpets, leo, etc.

  21. emu says:

    I think her dress looks great

  22. NeoCleo says:

    The Wu dress beats the hell out of the blue Marchessa monstrosity she wore a while back.

    Give up on the whole “Bleo” thing. Why in hell would he take her back after she publicly played him like a cheap violin? Make sense, already.

  23. Kim says:

    The dress is ok but she looks awful. Oompa Loompa fake tan, messy hair, terrible makeup.

  24. phlyfiremama says:

    I LOVE love love Penn Badgely’s 99% shirt! In your face, Bloomberg…

  25. mimi says:

    I don’t want to say mean things about a 14-year-old, so will just say that I wish Chloe had picked a different hairstyle and “younger” blouse. The white one is so grandma-y.

  26. gee_gee says:

    Wow. You managed to find the worst pictures of this bland, bland girl whose appeal I just don’t get. Congrats.

  27. well said says:

    i never found blake pretty her face is hideous, i dont know her very well but i see her everywhere trying to be fashion so i guess she is a famewhore?

  28. marie says:

    I think the dress would look great without the peplum attached to the skirt. She does look older for her 24 yrs and isn’t a beautiful girl. She has more of the plain girl next door look. Her hair looks straggly…needs a trim. God, it must be hard for celebrities to always have to hear our comments about them but then again they do have money.

  29. Amanda says:

    Something about her irks me and I can’t figure out why.
