Blake Lively’s Gucci Première advert revealed

Ever since it was announced that Blake Lively would be the face of the new Gucci Première fragrance we’ve been scouring the net for some sort of sneak peek. We finally have laid our eyes on. And in all honesty haven’t stopped since we saw it.

Blake, as always, looks drop dead gorgeous.

She looks like an Old Hollywood starlet in the black and white campaign.

The print ads were photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, while the short film to accompany the campaign was shot by Drive director, Nicolas Winding Refn. Due to début at the Venice Film Festival, the short film will première on September 1.

Speaking of why she chose Blake, Frida Giannini said it was “because she is a girl of extraordinary beauty and she’s a girl who loves fashion. She has great taste in clothes. Although she’s young, she’s also very determined, and I liked this spirit… She knows how to be a diva in the right sense, with an aspirational glamour.”

As the new brand ambassador for Gucci, the 24-year-old starlet said: “Gucci is a staple. It is a brand I have always looked up to because to me it represents strength. In their designs, in their images, in what they stand for philanthropically, and especially in their fragrance… I couldn’t be more proud to be working with Gucci and its heart, Frida.”

Gucci Première fragrance will be available in the UK in late July.

Rumours are circulating that Karl Lagerfeld has made a decision on who is going to be fronting his Spring/Summer 12 Chanel campaign…

And the coveted crown is apparently going to edgy London model Alice Dellal.

Women’s Wear Daily is reporting that the model is rumoured to be the new star of Chanel’s handbag campaign.

Karl, who shoots the campaigns himself, has previously said that he takes his time choosing the models, making sure he has the perfect fit.

Previous women who have fronted the handbag line include Lily Allen, Jerry Hall, Diane Kruger and most recently Gossip Girl star Blake Lively.

Alice herself has fronted campaigns for Mango and Agent Provocateur and has also been described as Mario Testino’s muse.

I look forward to seeing the images. Do you?

Gossip Girl is back…. finally

I’ve caught up on the new episode of Gossip Girl last night, I didn’t watch it on Wednesday night because I chose to see my girls for a spot of food and wine – now you can see why I did what I did.

Anyway, it was most certainly worth the wait. I LOVE Gossip Girl. Form the fashion, to the drama, to the boys. What more can a girl ask for? Well, maybe a little more of Nate Archibald topless wouldn’t go amiss.

We ended Season 4 with Serena landing a job in the movie business, Nate and Chuck went on a ‘Lost Tour’, Blair set off to Monaco with her Prince Louis, Vanessa took herseld to Barcelona after she gave Dan’s secret novel to a literary agent – who loved it by the way – and Dan was about to mope around all summer over both Blair and Serena. Oh and we can’t forget the end scene, Dorata empties the bin in Serena and Blair’s joint bathroom, the bin that holds a positive pregnancy test. Who’s with child?

We’re still kept guessing at the beginning of the episode as both Serena and Blair refuse champagne – with valid reasons, and then we’re thrown off course when Dorota announces that she’s expecting her second child. But by the end of the episode all is revealed. I won’t say here in case you haven’t seen it. But it does open up another whole can of worms – this is why I love this show.

Dan also learns that his book is soon to be published, which means for him nothing but disaster. Because, as we learnt last series, this novel proves that he always wanted ‘in’ to the Upper East Side circle, maybe even more than Little Jen.

Nate has a run-in with Elizabeth Hurley – who’s name in the series remains a mystery for now. Classic Nate going with the older woman, but she does look hot. And I can’t wait for her to make her entrance in New York, she’s going to rival Serena with the thigh-high split dresses. I’m sure this story line will only get better.

Chuck has spent the summer getting ‘over’ Blair, only to receive a ‘Save-the-date’ card to her wedding. He does look considerably happier, which Serena is only to quick to notice, but how long will this last?

Oh and Blair’s going to be in Vogue Paris. Jealous? Me? Never….

Blackberry goes down and the world acts as if it’s about to end

I was one of the thousands of people affected by Blackberry going down, but I was one of the few who it didn’t bother.

Yes, it was somewhat of a mild annoyance that I couldn’t access Twitter on my phone, but that’s just because I like ‘nosing’ at what celebs are up to, particularly Kim Kardashian – it would be Blake Lively if she had it, but alas I still wait for the day.

But my life without BBM in fact didn’t seem that much different. I have all of my contacts’ numbers anyway so I can just text and ring them, if need be. But I must admit that there was nothing interesting or important that I needed to share. A very mundane life I know.

So what was the big fuss about? My guess is, it was all of the under 15s that permanently have their BBs attached to their hand, they have over 100 contacts on BBM and most likely have never spoken to half of them in real life.

This is what I miss about being a child, it’s gets much harder as you get older to stay in touch with even close friends. You have a career, a family and sometimes a boyfriend, plus they have their own lives – it’s difficult and sometimes costly to see friends, especially when you live in all different parts of England – myself and my university friends.

So what will happen now, will people leave their Blackberry’s behind for the fear it might happen again. I’m certainly considering it after I realised that there is a life with BBM.

Blake Lively starts promotion for Green Lantern







Ahead of the LA Première of Green Lantern this evening, Blake Lively made a guest appearance on the Today Show, in New York City yesterday morning.


The rumoured girlfriend of Leonardo Dicaprio looked beautiful wearing Tibi floral-embroidered cotton dress.


 The Gossip Girl actress paired the dress with leopard print Charlotte Olympia pumps – which were the perfect accessory to the beautiful dress.


Blake has had a couple of tough weeks when naked images of ‘her’ were leaked on the internet. But she has flatly denied that they are false and she had nothing to do with them.


I certainly don’t believe that the beauty would do such a thing.


I also can’t wait to see the images from the Première this evening, just what will she choose to wear – surely it has to be one of her favourites, Marchesa or Chanel?


Who do you think she will go for?

We pick best dressed at MTV movie awards







Leighton Meester turned up at the MTV Movie Awards showing off a lighter hairdo and some serious bling.




She was easily best dressed of the night, completely rockin’ her Balmain heavily embellished mini.


The naturally blonde actress kept the look minimal adding only Pierre Hardy sandals and a simple silver ring to her index finger.


The Gossip Girl actress has once again put her fashion foot forward – could she possibly be taking over from my favourite Blake Lively?!


Watch this space….

Young Players in Hollywood







These lot have recently been catapulted in catasphropic stardom, not only for their acting ability but the bold choices they make on the red carpet. Flawless doesn’t begin to describe some of their personal style.


 




First up we have Chloe Moretz. The 14-year-old has been around for a fair few years but it was only since 2010 and her role in Kick Ass that she started to grace the pages of fashion magazines. With an up-coming film with Blake Lively, Hick, there is a chance that her fashion choice will not flounder but become only more beautiful.




Hailiee Steinfield got to show us plenty of her red carpet style after her critically acclaimed performance in True Grit. With plenty of nominations over the course of the Awards Season she made a huge number of appearences each time looking beautiful and age appropriate. The 14-year-old was recently named as the new face of Miu Miu and managed to turn my distaste for the Spring collection into a fondess when she wore one of Miuccia Prada’s designs.


Elle Fanning has managed to lose the shadow of her older sister Dakota since she starred in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere late last year. The 13-year-old was crowned as the face to watch by many fashion bloggers and has yet to prove them wrong on the red carpet. Her fresh face and bright blonde hair ensure she always shines in front of the camera and her impeccable wardrobe filled with everything from Valentino Courture to Marchesa make her the envy of every woman all the world over.


Saoirse Ronan is nothing short of an elegant beauty. The 17-year-old was born in New York, but moved to Ireland when she was just three. With two Bafta nominations already under her belt this starlet will no doubt go far. Her recent role in Hanna drew many comparisons to Natalie Portman’s role in Leon, Saoirse can only dream to have the career that Portman has.

New Green Lantern Posters







The superhero movie is set to dominate the big screen in summer 2011 – Thor has already set the ball rolling and we have plenty to look forward to.


Green Lantern just so happens to be one of the movies that, if you are a fan of this genre, you should be excited about.


Ryan Reynolds is back on the big screen as Hal Jordan in the Martin Campbell directed movie which also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong.


In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers.


But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.


Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity.


With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.


Green Lantern is released 17th June. Take a look at two new poster for the movie:
