Blake Lively in Zuhair Murad at the LA ‘Savages’ premiere: busted or beautiful?

Last night was the big LA premiere of Oliver Stone’s Savages, which comes out in America on July 6 – not this Friday, but next. Almost all of the stars from the film were at the LA premiere. The one person who didn’t show up: newlywed Aaron Johnson, who might be on his honeymoon and thus, had a good excuse for not coming to the premiere of one of his first big American films. CB has covered John Travolta’s wiggy appearance on the red carpet, and I shall cover the rest of the photos.

I think it’s fair to say that Blake Lively was the big “star” of the red carpet. Salma Hayek didn’t look all that great, and Blake really pulled out all of the stops. Blake wore this Zuhair Murad couture gown, which is like an optical illusion dress that looks poured onto her. You can say whatever you want about this girl’s face (eh) and her “game” (eh): but you cannot deny that Blake has a KILLER figure. Look at her body in this gown. It’s amazing. I would love to have her figure. And yes, I know her boobs are man-made. I would still love to have all of it. As for the dress – it’s not my favorite thing that I’ve ever seen her wear, but hey, at least it’s not Marchesa. And at least Blake isn’t falling out of it.

As for the overall styling… am I alone in thinking her makeup looks rough? The lipstick shade is too bright, the earrings don’t really go with the dress, and her hair looks awful. The blonde looks over-processed, and I just feel like she’s going for the “Glamour Barbie” look. Maybe I’m being too critical because I’m overwhelmed by jealousy for her figure, though. Or maybe Blake shouldn’t brag constantly about styling herself because she really does NOT have an eye for it.

Oh, and Ryan Reynolds was nowhere to be seen? I guess Blake had to do the premiere stuff as a single girl.

    her dress looks like those shiny black garbage bags were cut into strips and glued to the dress. But I love her hair.

    If I take her head out of the shot she looks amazing- lovely dress, amzing figure, nice nails. Everything from the neck up though? No, just no. If you are that wealthy you shouldnt end up with hair and makeup that just dont work that badly.

      Exactly! I like the dress and she has an amazing figure!

      But the dress plus the blonde hair and red lipstick/nails – it’s too much! She looks cheap there. Less is more, especially if you are naturally pretty sexual like her.

      By the way, Salma looked great!!

    Personally I find her uninteresting to an absolute extreme. Nevertheless she seems to be doing very well in the business.

      If i had a body like BL, i might wear a garbage bag shiny dress too. BL craves attention, but should veto all the plastic surgery. Looks like a tranny in a Hefty dress. Yikes. I still admire BL for dumping LeoCap. (confirm?) Ryan Reynolds (Blakes latest playtime pal) is Canadian, and is a decent actor…and RR`s Abs..well, I could eat brownies off of them. Sorry, i must support RR–my fellow Canadian. Blake better be good to him.

      I don’t find her a talented actress or a pretty girl. As far as Leo and Ryan are concerned since they hold little sway in my life their opinion of Blake Lively’s attractiveness hovers somewhere just below zero in my world. I can’t fathom how anyone could look at her face and believe she sets the world on fire with her beauty, but it happens and I deal. I will say that she wears the dress well, but there is something inherently unlikeable about her.

    In Argentina, where I live, we have a TV show host name “Susana Gimenez”. Blake will look like her, and she’s 70 years. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing because Susana is a lovely lady. It’s just sad. Blake might have a great body but she styled herself beyond her age, looking in her late 30th more than in her mid 20th.

    Her figure is insane and as much as I dislike that dress in general, she can definitely pull it off. The hair is very Barbie and the make-up isn’t great, I don’t think Blake’s face takes heavy makeup well.
    Has anybody seen the promotional interviews for this movie? Super annoying. So much ass-kissing between Blake Lively and Salma Hayek. Just feels really forced and fake. I have a hard time believing those two girls actually like each other but meh…*shrugs*

    Now that’s a glamorous siren gown! She really is wearing it and not the other way around.

    Boob job or not, she does have a killer body. I like that she doesn’t look starved. No protruding bones.

    Rhinoplasty and plenty of makeup yet her face is still meh, which means she wasn’t a raving beauty to start with.

    Haircolor is brassy, though the retro waves are pretty.

    Girl definitely knows how to hustle, but will her acting ability ensure a long career?

    Damn she looks old in some of these pictures. I think it’s the combo of the tanning, the bleached hair, and the harsh makeup, which will make anyone look older. If you look at the fourth thumbnail, I think it’s clear that the aged appearance is attributable to the styling. I pray the tanning isn’t for real. Beautiful dress.

    She looks AMAZING from the neck down. That dress looks spectacular on her figure. I do think she looks budget from the neck up–mainly, her hair looks like a cheap dye-job.

    But…is the dress maybe a little over the top for this premier? It seems like this is more of an Academy Awards type dress or for some huge premier at a castle or something. Or maybe I’m just looking to nitpick because I admit I dont like giving Blake Lively compliments. Maybe her performance in Savages will change my mind, but right now she bugs me because I think she’s a really average actress getting parts based on connections & cup size, not actual talent.

    HER FACE in that top photo! It kills me. I’m on the fence with the dress, the impact from a distance is stunnng with her bod, but up close it looks tacky and like liquorice swirls (mm liquorice). I like that she is committing to trying to look like an old school glamourpuss, but I don’t think it quite works. She either needs to go blonder or put some lowlights in, her hair is just trashy looking at the moment, which is a shame as it was the one thing I used to really admire about her, it had that lovely “natural” Californian type surf chick tone in the early days of GG. She can’t act her way out of a paper bag but she wouldn’t be the first starlet to make it on looks and chutzpah, I don’t really want to see her in anything but I don’t particularly begrudge her her career as she hasn’t got quite the smug annoying-ness of her predecessor Scarlett.

    Does anyone remember Blake circa the first Girl with the Traveling Pants? I watched it on TV not that long ago…She was only 16 or 17 when it was filmed…She has definitely had work done on her nose but I think those boobs are her own. It is kind of strange comparing 16/17 year old Blake with 24 year old Blake. When she was younger, she looked like a beautiful version of Sarah Jessica Parker. She wasn’t classically beautiful, but she had an interesting face that somehow worked. Her hair was a much softer blonde also. Now, the heavy tan, super bleached hair, heavy makeup…it detracts from her looks…makes her look older and less attractive. She does have the best body in Hollywood in my opinion. Despite the overdone makeup, I think she still looks damn good here.

    I think Blake looks good here. This is a red carpet look and it’s okay to look glammy, etc. She pulls it off and has a knack for always wearing something great that looks good on her; however, I still cannot get behind liking her, except as a low level actress. I have not seen that she has much talent, which is apparently why she hasn’t had many roles. Perhaps she must rely solely on her looks and clothes for some attention.

    I saw the first Sisterhood…Pants movie in the theatre (#shame) and she was just so stunning. She still is. As close to a natural 1930s-1950s style Hollywood beauty as you get in these days of scrawny indie chicks (see also: Amber Heard, Christina Hendricks).

    I think she’s a beautiful girl looking for interesting roles. Hey, it worked for Keira Knightley. Hopefully, she will have the humility to keep working on her acting skills. Frankly, in the preview for this thing, she appears to be out-acting Salma Hayek, who still seems to be in her 30 Rock character (Salma: look into the humility-acting thing).

    Blake Lively’s dress here is a perfect combo of busted/beautiful. Attention-grabbing, stunning shape, but a bit distracting to the point of silly with the nude/patent combo.

    I just wish she would break up with the interchangeable-busty-blonde-dating hamster.

    Sigh for the hair alone. Her hair looks amazing like that. It seems like she’s jot as plastic as other hollywood actresses(botox and filler wise) which could be why her face is filled with lines.She could probably use some moderate surgery to look her age because she looks too old. I think she’s beautiful but in a I could go to california and find someone just like her. Still absolutely adore her thl. Her personality is infectious.
