Blake was spotted on location of “Gossip Girl” in NYC a few days ago (January 31 and February 1). She was escorted by her parents Ernie and Elaine, as she was shopping at a “CHANEL” store during a break.
Blake was yesterday (May 9) spotted at the “Chanel Collection Croisiere Show 2011-12” in Cap d’Antibes, France. More to come as they arrive . EDIT: added more!
The officialCHANEL site of the handbag campaign ad with Blake has some new pictures of the photoshooting, which I added to the Gallery. Blake looks STUNNING!
Blake Lively may not want to launch her own clothing line, but she’s still the face of the world’s most famous one. On Monday, WWD published the first of Lively’s ads for Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line; today, we have the remaining two images and four exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from her shoot with Karl Lagerfeld himself.
We already knew they were besties, but the candid image of the two sharing a moment in Lagerfeld’s studio is enough to make even our cold, shriveled, quilted leather-coveting hearts believe that Chanel bags are exactly what dreams are made of.
Following all those will-she-won’t-she attend the Chanel show rumours, Blake Lively landed in Paris over the weekend to unveil her first designer campaign for Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line. At a dinner hosted by Karl Lagerfeld, the Gossip Girl starlet caught up with WWD to talk all manner of things, including why she isn’t interested in launching a fashion project of her own.
“I have such a respect for fashion and such an appreciation for it that if there are people like Karl Lagerfeld out there designing, who am I?” she asks. “I want to bow down to them and be a representative for them if they’ll have me”.
And have her they did. According to Blake, she was surprised the results of her photo session with Karl didn’t include images of her “with my jaw on the floor.”
The ads, which were captured by the Chanel creative director in Paris’ historic Rue Cambon, are due to break in the next fortnight, and will continue through until June.
A well-dressed and starry crowd gathered at a small and elegant venue in NYC last night to celebrate Blake Lively’s new role as Chanel ambassador. The random guests we saw milling around included Justin Long (who we overheard telling someone that he’s thinking of moving to Austin), Dr. Pat Wexler, and Curtis Stone. A card for “Mr. Zac Efron” sat on the table unclaimed.
But of course the biggest agenda of the evening was to talk to Blake about the recent rumors we heard about her not attending the upcoming Fall 2011 Chanel show because it’s “tacky” to do so as a celeb.
A miffed member of Blake’s team confirmed that indeed Blake wouldn’t be attending the Chanel show this coming Tuesday. But she also wanted to assure me that it is “killing” Blake that she can’t attend. I was then hustled up to talk to Blake about it firsthand.
Blake pronounced us “mean” for publishing the initial story, but smiled and was really quite sweet and disarming about it all. Here’s what she had to say about the show, about doing campaigns for other brands, and about whether Karl Lagerfeld ever wears sneakers:
So you’re not going to the Chanel show..why?
Because we’re shooting Gossip Girl, our season finale. It’s our final five days. Every single one of the characters is in every scene. There’s no room for them to change the schedule. That’s why I’m going out [to Paris] this weekend for the dinner. I’m thrilled. And hopefully Karl will give me a sneak peek of the show beforehand. I lovvveee seeing the pieces in person.
Blake was yesterday (March 2) honored with a Intimate Dinner hosted by CHANEL, because she’s the new face of it’shandbag line. Wearing white satin high heels from Louboutin and a white ruffled dress from Chanel (of course), Blake looked absolutely pretty !
