Blake Lively smoulders on the cover

Blake Lively smoulders on the cover

Blake Lively oozes sex appeal as both herself and her character on Gossip Girl Seerena Ven Der Woodsen. 

And it's no different on the cover of the US publication of Marie Claire. 

She wears nothing but a red blazer and stares seductively at the camera. 

Blake always manages to look beautiful on and off the red carpet and has made it apparent that she chooses all of her own clothing. 

In the interview with Nina Garcia she explains: "My assistant will call fashion houses for me, but I always pick the outfit, the shoes, jewellery and lots of times I do my own hair and makeup for events. 

"Sometimes I think, God, why do I do this to myself? It's so much extra work.

She explains that she doesn't seek help: "Because I love fashion. It's such an expression of self. I often see people and they look great, but I can identify who styled then. Every stylist has a signature. 

"Maybe it sounds jerky, but I'm lucky to be on such a fashion-centric show. There's no designer I don't have access to."

The editorial, which was shot by Txema Yeste, sees her wearing a number of different looks by Marios Schwab, Jenny Packham, Dolce & Gabbbana and Calvin Klein. 

In the interview she reveals whose style she is currently coveting: 

"I love Florence Welch. She's pure magic. I always admire people who make really strong choices. When you do something bold, it's usually because you feel really good in it."

She also discusses the publics perception of her: 

"People like to draw parrellels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl. 

"I dress the same as my character, so they think; she lives this life off set."
