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..."

Blake, Is That You? Cosmopolitan February 2011

 

   Blake Lively doesn't have much luck with covers these days. First they reprint her and now this.
For it's February 2011 issue Cosmopolitan Australia played around with Photoshop quite a bit to alert Blake's pretty face, rendering her unrecognisable. The cover doesn't look bad but that's just not Blake.
  In the interview the "Green Lantern" actress talks about fer favorite fashion brands, parties, cooking and more. Check it out:


   On being a homebody: “I'm much more of a homebody than a person who goes out. I don't think i've ever been to a club other than to see a band.  I don't really find it that fun...”

   On why she doesn’t need a sylist: “Our costume designer (Eric Daman) has been very collaborative with us. I mean, he's a genius, he's taught me everything I know in fashion.  I don't use a stylist because of him, he's shown me the ways. “

   Chanel: “Things they make are so beautiful, iconic and ladylike”.

   YSL: “They carry out some of Katharine Hepburn's tradition. It's womanly but it's so strong. It's masculine and feminine.”

   Dior: “ It's magical, like a fairytale.”

   Juicy Couture: ‘’They have such great coats for winter and cute summer dresses, too.’’

   Alexander Wang: “His leather, the way thungs are ripped up and thrown in together.”

   On what she does when not working: “If I'm sleeping, I just like to explore the city.  Just walk around and get lost in all the amazing streets and find great restaurants. Also love going to Central Park and watching movies. I like old art films, beautiful French films.”

   On baking: “I love to cook. I'm a really good baker! I'm good at cakes and brownies and I make a really amazing Dutch apple pie.”

Elle's Cover Blunder Starring Blake Lively

 While her "Gossip Girl" co-star Leighton Meester lands glorious covers and ad campaigns, poor Blake Lively is used  on multiple covers of different magazines.
 Shame on Elle Japan reprinting her lovely Marie Claire US December 2009 photo for it's February 2011 cover.
   Is that even legal? I think not. It shows major disrespect to loyal Elle readers.

Anime-looking Blake Lively reprinted cover of Elle Japan February 2011.

The original - pretty Blake in Marie Claire US December 2009.
