Style Icon: Blake Lively

TV show “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively hits every trend the fashion world has to offer, be it a high-street brand blazer during a walk downtown or a Gucci gown at a red carpet event.

With her tall slender body, long flowing golden locks, and sun-kissed California looks, the diva has won awards for Best Dressed star along with appearing on the covers of Vogue magazine and landing a Chanel spokesperson deal.

She also ranked fourth on Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 Women of 2010 list and ranked first on Ask Men magazine’s top 99 “most desirable women” of 2011.

The hottie, who tied the knot with beau Ryan Reynolds in September, is her own personal stylist. Casual coats or cropped jackets with high boots, usually Louboutins, teamed with statement jewellery by Oscar de la Renta and designer handbags are Lively’s signature style. She is also confident about experimenting with those gorgeous locks, sporting fishtail braids and buns to keep her look fresh.

But what makes Lively more desirable and true style icon is her ‘lively’ smile. So keep that face glowing with your 24 carat smile!
