HANGING WITH GEORGINA

Posted Feb 18 2011 @ 06:07 PM

"Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively was seen back in the Big Apple after a brief trip to London for the Elle Style Awards, attending Marchesa's Fall 2011 After-Show Dinner that was held in NYC on February 16. At the event, Lively hung out with Marchesa's Georgina Chapman, and shared a few giggles. For her night out ensemble, Blake wore a stunning and vibrant Marchesa creation from the Resort 2011 Collection, along with her trademark wavy blonde locks and a pair of nude Christian Louboutin heels. If you're inspired by Blake's colorful look, might I suggest a few similar options here on CoutureCandy, such as Soul Revival's Slip Dress with Sunshine Lace in Papaya, Jenny Han's 3D Border Tube Dress in Magenta, or Sue Wong's Disco Beaded Tulle Dress in Champagne, all of which are reminiscent of Blake's Marchesa frock. From there, simply add on Coye Nokes' classic Jacqueline Pump in Taupe Patent and you'll be set. While I recently reported that Blake will not be portraying a young Carrie Bradshaw in any SATC prequels, she will however be starring in the upcoming flick Hick. Blake recently signed on to play the drug addict mother of a 13-year-old girl. Woah - intense! Sources report that Blake will "play the mother of teenaged Nebraskan girl Chloe Moretz, who runs away to Las Vegas armed with a gun after her parents abandon her." This definitely sounds like a change of pace from the world of Lively's "GG" character Serena van der Woodsen - any of you interested in checking it out?
