"GREEN LANTERN" GAL

Posted Jan 13 2010 @ 06:18 PM

Blake Lively was the center of attention at "Gossip Girl" costume designer Eric Daman's launch party for his new book "You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence," which was held at Henri Bendel in NYC on January 12. Donning Stella McCartney's swoon-worthy thigh-high perforated boots from the Fall 2009 collection, Blake kept the rest of the look classic by pairing an oversized Nonoo Lyons Fall 2009 blazer (try Isabel Lu's Flap Oversized Blazer in Navy Black) with a white button-down shirt (check out Zoa's Double Faced Classic Shirt in White or Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti's Long Sleeve Ruched Front Top in White) and the slightest peek of her black bra. From there, Blake chose delicate stud earrings and a few stacked silver bangles (get the look with Amrita Singh's Kimberly Bangle in Silver), along with a glowing complexion and natural makeup. Another winning look for Blake, I'd say. Do you agree or disagree, readers? Word spread this week that BL has been cast as Carol Ferris in the highly anticipated film "The Green Lantern," and (of course) she couldn't be more thrilled. She says, "Oh my gosh, it means the world! It’s such an exciting film to be a part of, wonderful cast, wonderful studio and it’s an amazing role so I’m really thrilled." Congrats, B! Doesn't Blake just seem like such a sweetheart?
