Blake Lively’s “sexy nurse” ensemble: oddly cute or kind-of tacky?

Here’s Blake Lively at the Noon by Noor show yesterday, at NYFW. She was really posing her ass off outside the venue, wasn’t she? That’s some serious “model face”. Thoughts on Blake’s ensemble? It feels like a nurse’s getup. But because it’s Blake, and she has that downmarket look, I feel like the white dress/suit is a tear-away, and she’s going to strip for us in her “naughty nurse” lingerie after the show. I also have mixed feeling about brown tights with a white ensemble. It’s not as terrible as it should be, right? It comes close to working on her. The combination of brown tights with those too-light shoes has got to stop, though. That’s horrible.

Yesterday, I actually sat down and read Blake’s full Elle Magazine interview – remember, she covers the March issue of Elle? We already covered the most note-worthy excerpts, like Blake’s claim that she’s only slept with four dudes, and all of them were boyfriends. I’m not going to exert myself and actually go find the issue of Elle to get more quotes, but I will say this – after reading the entire article, I got a completely different feeling for Blake. In previous interviews, I always got the sense that she was an undercover bitch, you know? The Queen Bee type, the one who is always angling and scheming, a girl who is rather full of herself. And while Elle points out that she is in fact a “Queen Bee” (she definitely has some entitlement issues, I think), they actually stress how nice and generous she is. So either she’s changing, or she’s trying to change her image a little bit. She’s going for girlish, sweet, loves-to-cook, girl-next-door these days, just FYI.

One last Blake story – Christian Louboutin has already sent her his entire Spring collection. She told People Magazine several days ago, “My gosh, [the spring collection] was sent to my house today, and they’re so beautiful. They’re amazing. They are the most beautiful shoes out there. And incredibly innovative.” Jealous?

    Yes, downmarket is a good word. I don’t know why she looks that way to me, but she does. maybe it was that role in The Town.

  2. Gorry says:

    Oh Lawd!
    This is Blake’s FIRST appearance at FW and you naughty guys just HAD to write about it.
    I get that Blake brings in the numbers/disses, but you might need to write about the other ladies’ show ups too. Fashion Week has been tops and her GG co-stars have been everywhere.
    Leighton M has been at 3 events, and I must say looked might fine last night at Miu Miu. Even sour faced ‘too cool for skool’ ado-goth Taylor Momsen was at Marchesa. (OK that’s not fair maybe Taylor is growing up and chilling more)
    As well as pretty much every NY celeb hitting on one NYC bash or another!
    Some fashion week posts on them too?
    This way the Leighton stans and other prof Blake haters can instead check out their faves and purr at them. Rather than begin yet another mouth foaming fury at how “Blake is everywhere” “Never stays home”!, while they actively seek her out!

    On another note, Blake girl, you clearly need a Big Mac meal. Geez

    • Tapioca says:

      There is a post on Taylor – the Stacy Keibler one.

      Leighton Meester has stans?

      But yes, Blake totally needs a sammie or two. The poor girl looks dead-eyed and exhausted! It must be hard to be the “fashion IT girl” when it’s becoming ever clearer that you’re not going to have the career to back it up – and I write that with a little twinge of sympathy.

    • Roosay says:

      Oh please, Leighton’s appearances that day were her FIRST since that gossip girl event in november. AND she’s the face of Vera Wang, of course she’s going to attend the show. You can’t even compare Leighton’s event attending habits to Blake’s

      • Gorry says:

        Oh please, yes I can. Leighton has been out and about lots with pics on image sites to prove it, as she has EVERY right to, more pics to enjoy. The diff is Leighton does not get as many write ups/website hits with haterade, so her stans can insist its because she does not go anywhere !
        Incidentally both Blake and Leighton are faces of fashion houses and grace HF mag covers so they both have reason to attend FW events.

  3. Tiffany27 says:

    The second pic looks like she’s saying what’s up to Diddy or somebody. Its awkward.

  4. Heather says:

    I don’t mean to be really bitchy but she does NOT look 24.

    • T.C. says:

      Why does she look so old? Is it the nose job that gave her the lines around her mouth? I don’t think the dress looks slutty but she does look budget.

    • Ann says:

      Eh, it happens, some people just don’t really have youthful faces. I’m 24 and have a good number of lines going too, unfortunately. I think hers might look worse because of how thin she is? She could use a little more fat in the face.

    • Agnes says:

      I bet she’s “24”, give or take a decade. 🙂

    • D says:

      I think she just photographs old…she looks young enough in motion. Girl needs to lay off the tanning and eat a sandwich though.

  5. Asli says:

    I was prepared to like this but aaaargh! That is one ugly outfit. And that lipstick and that awful ring is just – bleh. It doesn’t look like a dress. It looks like an unfinished jacket or something. The shoes? Not really. I hate heels. Can’t walk in them and my feet are always in pain five minutes into wearing them. I call them ”socially accepted torture devices”. But a man in heels during a police questioning and he’ll crack faster than you can say Jimmy Choo.

  6. demian bichir says:

    Of course i’m super jealous!I want those shoes!

    • Delta Juliet says:

      Can you imagine being rich AND getting tons of expensive stuff for free?!?!?! Life is SO not fair.

  7. brin says:

    Tacky.

  8. Eve says:

    Her nose looks narrower (with a slight upturn) to me…did she have another nose job?

    • normades says:

      I was looking at the same thing. It’s wierd how her nose is just straight all the way down.

      She is looking too thin and not very happy at this moment.

    • Sarko says:

      Hey ladies,

      Naah I don’t think there is a change.In other pics on Getty, Zimbio her nose is still pretty prominent.
      Trust me as someone with a few tricks up my sleeve nose (ahem to hide various sins) its amazing what make up, posing and the lighting can do. AND it would seem in this case excessive weight loss!

  9. JenJen says:

    Snore.

  10. Lini says:

    She always looks so cheap and tacky. Sadly, because she is a pretty girl with lovely hair.

  11. Erin says:

    she looks way too thin. you can see it in her collarbone and in her face; she looks so much better with about 10 pounds more on her. :/

  12. anjessa says:

    The style is ok, her hair looks good undone. But the (star? flower?) ring on her finger is hideous. Looks like a free gift out of a cereal box.

  13. Celine says:

    She’s lost a lot of weight – that makes her look older and kind of gaunt.

  14. Lis says:

    Does anyone else think that she’s older than she claims?

    And “it’s not as terrible as it could be” is probably the most accurate thing to say.

    • jc126 says:

      Yes, I think so. There may have a blind item recently to that effect.

      • mischa says:

        would you mind posting said item or telling me where you got it from?
        i couldn’t find it on blindgossip but would love to find out more about it as well as read the other guesses .. 😉

  15. Mimi says:

    Oh Blake….I don’t have anything nice to say at all.

  16. Sophie says:

    She is growing on me for some reason, but I may have to hate her for getting the shoes lol.

  17. Samanthalous says:

    Those tights are horrid

  18. MJ says:

    Brown tights and shoes, a white Clinique rep coat, hot pink lipstick and stringy hair? Oh, girl, just… no.

  19. Hannah says:

    Oh my gosh, no way is she younger than me.
    Why do people like Anna and Christian see her as a fashion icon I wonder?

  20. Aria says:

    She seems she has lost a lot of weight recently. She doesn’t look as healthy as usual.

  21. Crystal says:

    I don’t mind the outfit too much, but her facial expressions are hilarious! Like America’s Next Top Model hilarious.

  22. Riana says:

    Wow…that is some pose-harding. People talk about Lea Michelle but you can see the ‘model talk’ in Blake’s face.

    Shame…a whole collection shows up at her door and she’ll likely butcher it like this and so many other outfits.

  23. The Original Mia says:

    Why is she posing so hard? That’s one ugly nurse’s outfit. Brown tights & brown shoes…with a white coat? Who told her that looked good?

  24. Nessa says:

    Everything this girl does is kind-of tacky to me. She just doesn’t have the ‘It’ factor, even though she keeps trying to convince everyone that she does. She tries too hard, or something… I can’t put my finger on it.

  25. Roxy750 says:

    I wonder if that lipstick has lead in it.

  26. Ravensdaughter says:

    Black hose-bad choice-her legs look like sticks!

  27. Sisi says:

    if the spring collection of Christian Louboutin are all hideous horse hooves, I’m not jealous at all.

  28. lisa says:

    She is a pretty girl.

    I don’t like the shoes. the pattern yes. but not the shoes with the outfit. I actually like what she is wearing otherwise.

    I’m not a fan, but I like that at her age she doesn’t give a sh*t what people say or think about her.. good way to be in this business

  29. Amanda says:

    I like her. I don’t watch her in anything, but as a person she seems to have a determined, entrepreneurial spirit. Like she’s decided that she’s going to do well even if everyone else wants her to fail.

    • Rory says:

      And that’s the attitude to have and qualities we should be celebrating. It’s always so funny to me how women are so willing to tear each other down. The irrational hate for her makes me root for her to succeed even more and throw it in all her naysayers faces even though she’s too gracious to do that.

  30. ClumsyMe says:

    She looks really bad in the pics not at all like she’s 24. That outfit is pretty bad too and reminds me of the videos from the 90’s that featured nurses as does the flower ring.

  31. sassenach says:

    Blake has always had an upbeat personality. Nothing has changed in her interviews. You should just see what you wanted to see. I like Blake, and think she is a decent actress and hope she gets more roles.

  32. ladybert62 says:

    The ONLY thing that I like is the brown tights!

  33. Franny says:

    She is looking very thin – her collarbone is especially prominent. And this outfit is not doing her any favors.

    Some day I hope to own 1 pair of high heels. Sure I could go drop $700 on a pair right now, but I wear high heels 4 times a year so what a waste of money that would be. I wish I had a job where I wasn’t forced to wear flat shoes.

  34. Alexis says:

    She looks old. I kind of like the bright pink lipstick, though.

  35. G says:

    Bad dress that looks like it had a bad home hem job. The accessories from earrings, ring to opaque tights and brown shoes are bizarre, unrelated and cheap looking.

  36. hateonit. says:

    I don’t find her attractive. nothing oozes out star. her outfits are usually her look at me I have boobs and long legs or horrendous like this one. the faces she makes are dumb. she should just smile and try to look normal.

  37. Rory says:

    These comments are just making me laugh with their desperation and clothe way everyone is trying to find creative ways to diss Blake even though she’s done nothing wrong. Wasn’t this the same girl that critics and commenters alike were complaining that she was miscast against Ryan Reynolds in GL because she looked too young? Now it’s that she’s too old, make up your mind already.

    P.s. Amber Heard shows up to more events and poses much much harder than this but I don’t see any comments about that except for the baffling adulation she gets here.

    • Gorry says:

      Hey stop stealing my ideas!!LOL
      My thoughts exactly
      So many of her peers appear at waaaay more events ( just look at the month of Award week even those were attendees were not nominated!) but don’t get half as much grief, which is why these sites like to write on her. It ain’t rocket science
      Hits = Dough

    • Kim says:

      She slept her way to the top. Know fact if you work in the industry. She released naked pictures of herself, claimed someone hacked her acct THEN claimed they werent even her. We all have eyes – they were her. She has a TERRIBLE reputation in the industry but since she services many powerful men no one can bag on her.

      • sassenach says:

        Oh please. How has she ‘slept her way to the top” when she already had family connections in Hollywood. I also do not believe for one second that she is servicing many powerful men. Men like DiCaprio and Reynolds have huge egos and wouldn’t make someone who is known in their circle as a slut, their bonafide girlfriend. They keep them tucked away where no one would see, not holding hands and looking loved up.

      • D says:

        Ugh seriously, what is the basis for claiming she’s sleeping her way to the top? It’s not like shes getting inexplicably good roles or anything. Not every hot blonde is a slut and not every nasty ‘blind item’ you think you know the answer to is true.

  38. nina says:

    she’s been pulling the sweet domestic “type” ever since the skank photos leaked, or allegedly leaked. Either she’s doing damage control and trying to make people forget about it, or else she’s playing the virgin whore card-“I’m a lady on the street but a freak in the bed” card, winking to guys and smiling genteely at girls at the same time.

    • D says:

      I don’t think the nice, domestic thing is a recent shtick…she’s done it since sisterhood. Also what is with this madonna/whore complex ish right here? Can’t a girl like to bake and also like to take sexy pictures for her boyfriend? These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

  39. Kim says:

    I swear “she” used to be a man. She is so fugly & so tranny looking!

  40. taxi says:

    That’s it! The Clinique counter rep.

    The tights are bad with that outfit & lipstick is not a good color for her. Maybe the outfit looks better in appropriate lighting. White is hard to photo in floodlights.

  41. Tastykakes says:

    She is powerfully mediocre. Shoes, tights, dress, hair, makeup… all bad. Did she hem that dress with a stapler in the limo on the way there? Sloppy. I do like the little pointy purple ring!

  42. UniqJazz says:

    Her face looks gorgeous !

  43. Camille (The original) says:

    Bad outfit. Plus it looks like she has dropped a fair amount of weight recently. Also, I see nothing ‘manly’ or ‘tranny’ about this girl. *eye roll*

  44. Meanchick says:

    Ack! This is horrible. The hemline on that ‘whatever’ she is wearing looks like it was stapled. The tights and Stacy Q pumps are a no-go. Ross Dress For Less would have been better than this POC she’s wearing.

  45. aprayerforthewildatheart says:

    She looks very pretty when she’s not “posing”. I think she should take better care of her hair, bleach blonde takes a lot of upkeep to look healthy. Every color I see seems to clash, hate the entire outfit.

  46. Kate says:

    She has lost so much weight recently. Her body was so healthy looking and toned before 🙁 She’s also been looking kind of sad and worn down lately.

    I blame Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour.

  47. Judy says:

    I can’t read all these remarks before making my comments! Dark hose/tights with white dress is never acceptable. What the ?? Also, did anyone notice her hem is taped? The lipstick is hideous. Her hair is gross. Her eyelids are more droopy than mine, and I’m over 50.

  48. Elizabeth Rose says:

    She looks kinda busted. I know she makes a big deal about not having a stylist but judging by what I’ve seen of her, it might be time to get one. Not really feeling the make-up either, or those earrings.

  49. salamanca says:

    Like Elle Driver, but she looked better than Blake.

  50. truthshot says:

    she’s so hot!

    derp, but hot!

  51. Marques says:

    Oh boy she is still the same when I actually saw her for the first time. although some would argue on this but it is my personal opinion. So it can vary from individual.
