Rumour Confirmed: Blake Lively and Chanel

Blake and Karl - the new celeb BFFs.

    After the buzz in the recent moths, it has finally been confirmed that Blake Lively, recently shared her fascination with the brand, is Chanel's new face. The first ads have already been shot and will be out in April. 

    Blake is pretty excited about it, are you?

    Here is what Elle UK reports:

"Chanel has confirmed that the star of it's next ad campaigns will be Blake Lively.

It's been something of an open secret for a month now but now we can officially confirm that Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has been picked by Karl Lagerfeld to be the new Chanel ambassador.

Lively is set to star in ads for the new Mademoiselle bag, and the pictures, which will be unveiled in April, have already been snapped. The actress-turned-model got to pose on the iconic staircase in Coco Chanel's Rue du Cambon studio - and, according to WWD, she was pretty thrilled by the whole experience. 'How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?,' she gushed. 'Dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.'

Blake's appointment hasn't come as a great surprise - ever since she was first spotted front row at the Chanel couture show early last year, she and Karl have struck up a friendship, and she's also been spotted in an impresesive line-up of the label's dresses. What with this and her friendship with Christian Louboutin, we could find ourselves getting quite envious of the lucky Miss Lively..."
