Right, whilst I have a rare hour between shows and I’ve finished reporting on the 2010 Venice Film Festival, I’m going to catch up on the other Festival which started this weekend – the 2010 Toronto Film Festival (TIFF).
First up my girl Blake Lively.
The “Gossip Girl” actress is at TIFF to promote her new movie, “The Town”.
She certainly painted the town red at the premiere looking sensational wearing a Chanel Fall 2010 Couture dress.
I personally wished she’d worn the dress as it was presented on the runway.
I’m not a fan of diluting Couture, but she made this dress work for her sexy image.
The dress has bunch of roses applied around the waist to give her even sexier hourglass figure.
Red lippie and red pumps completed the look.
Update: Just found a picture of Blake with the jacket on and I think she looks much better with it.
What do you think?
Better with or without the jacket?
At the photocall earlier in the day, Blake wore a Preen Spring 2010 ensemble which included a taupe blouse and black obi pants.
She added a selection of beaded necklaces and Louboutin animal print heels to her look.
For someone who doesn’t have a stylist I think she looks great.

thank you so much for posting blake!! i love her in the chanel a lot more than the preen. actually she did wear the dress as originally presented then took it off. personally i think it looks better off, on her.
She put on the top part of the dress for the afterparty… and you’re right, I greatly prefer it that way. Either way though, she is stunning.
i was waiting for you because i had seen her i’ve thought…PURE PERFECTION!
Actually she has worn it as it was presented, with the jacket…and she used a chanel mini bag sooo cute.the rings are the perfect edgy touch!
WOW! I think the Chanel look is our first BDOTW contender!
I definitely agree.
she worn the dress as it was presented on afterparty http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Blake+Lively+Style+Hosts+Town+Party+2010+Toronto+sBBOXRCBELPl.jpg
and i think she looked amazing in both looks,with and without it,i really can´t decide which is better!
thanks I think we found it at the same time
I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of Blake, but the Chanel ensemble blew me away. FC, I agree that with the jacket she looks more fashionable and more vogue. However, even without it, she looks radiant as ever.
-PS. Thank you for doing soo much coverage of everything. I love your comments, and i check your website several times a day, even though I barely comment. xox
glad to here you are enjoying my blog
*hear
I like the dress itself, but I prefer with the jacket. Also the preen look is very chic and appropriate.
The look with the jacket is way better! Still sexy but really rich! Like both looks
I definitely prefer it with the jacket it looks more proportioned, the second look is my fave though and with accompaniment of those loubous…beautiful.
This is definitely one of my favourite looks on ANYONE, EVER. And I’m definitely not a fan of Blake’s style normally.
This is seriously amazing.
Agree 100 %. My thoughts exactly
Oh my!! She looks great… For someone with no stylist… She is on fire… My girl crush at the moment for taking risks… VB is my girl crush for sophisticated classic. Jus chanced upon her S/S 2011 collection… She gave something diff.. Loved it…
Eother way.. these 2 girls are my favs…
She looks so beautiful and elegant. Thanks for the hard work FC! Blake also wore dior at TIFF for The Town’s dinner. http://imageupper.com/i/?S0400010020011T284241645611234
yes I saw that, but it wasn’t a great pic unfortunately.
I wish she stopped to pose
I love both looks and I think the first one is really BDOTW worthy. I’m not a fan of matchy matchy but I really like her shoe choice
Prefer it with it balances out the bunch of roses on her hips!
She looks amazing with and without the jacket. But, I prefer with the jacket. It adds so much more to the look.
P.S. I’ve also followed your blog for quite some time, but this is my first time commenting
thanks E
I don’t know which to put up for BDOTW, with or without the jacket
With i love it so much better with
WITH THE JACKET! Looks good without but she looks amazing with!
I love this girl but, apart from this, she looks AMAZING heat to toe! I’d like to meet her in Milan, I hope she’ll attend Versace show.
Did you like VB SS collection FC? I can’t decide.
not really.
Found it really boring. Didn’t get past look 8
You are seriously on fire with your coverage F.C.! ås for Blake, I like this best with the jacket on, but the fact is she looks gorgeous either way. And the Preen looks great too, she seems to have upped the ante here, sexy but not so obviously, hope she keeps this up.
it’s a drees to be the sexiest in the party so..gorgeous without the jacket!
I think I’d prefer it with the jacket had she done her hair up.
Although I am not a huge Blakefan I can really appreciate how attentive she is (I can’t find the right word) she listens to waht peopel say (too sexy, she doesn’t deserve to have another vogue cover -which I agree with- etc) to improve upon herself, whilst maintaining her style, which I respect her for. I do not love either of these looks, but the chanel, with jacket, is a good, breath of fresh air, look.
I really wish Blake had worn nude louboutin’s and done something with her hair for the premiere if she had it would have been the best she has ever looked!
Honestly I think it’s bulls*it that she doesn’t have a stylist. She obviously follows a certain formula and nowadays she often wears Chanel which coincidentally started with her hanging out with Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld. I think she has someone advising her on what to wear. Maybe she didn’t have a stylist before. You can see a difference between her outfits a year ago and today.
i suspect that she’s getting help too.. her style has improved so much this year and she’s starting to dress more conservatively and fashion-forward lately.. i don’t think she’s doing it on her own.
i hope she is tho, i love celebs that can put together their own outfits
Much prefer with the jacket, with her and helen, i think we have ouf first BDOTW contenders!
i definitely prefer the chanel look with the jacket… the proportions are much better
and i agree that this is the best she’s looked in a while.. BDOTW contender imo
I love this look on her! Both of them as a matter of fact.
Just WOW! This is the best she has ever looked.
With the jacket – so fashionable, without the jacket – out of this world sexy. Almost like a blonde Megan Fox – only better.
She is ON FIRE!!
i really like whe you told us who does not have a stylish¡¡ it is good to know who have personality and make her own choices.bravo Blake¡¡
Blake looks so much like Cameron Diaz in the pic wearing the Chanel sort of creepy both California blonds
She looks so much better with the jacket on, but the shoes need to go! They are the wrong shade of red. And the Preen trousers are just plain ugly, like she’s wearing an adult diaper under them with all of that extra floppy fabric.
I love the dress, and I like it better without the little jacket. What I don’t like are the dyed-to-match bridesmaid’s shoes that she has on.
I don’t like the pants in the second look. I am just not a fan of the Urkel look. Love the blouse and the shoes.
For once, I am not bored.
Both of dresses fit her perfectly. But this girl really needs to do something about her skin. She is only 23 years old but looks like 10 years old than her actual age.
i’m not so sure about a red dress, red heels *and* red lips, but i’m not goint to deny that she looks amazing in it and pulls it off with or without the jacket (i prefer the jacket though. it’s more visually interesting)
wow! She looks incredible in the Chanel Couture! She looks best without the jacket. She’s usually drab in someway but those red lips really did it for her. she looks amazing.
I think i like it better without the jacket, esp since her hair is down, but if you had pulled her hair back, i think the jacket would’ve been nice as well. Overall, i think she looks great in both looks, BDOTW contender definitely!
she looks good i have to admit. love her chanel ensemble even though i think the red is too harsh on her. she definitely does justice to the look. her photocall outfit is also very appropiate and stylish. i think she definitely gets advice and help on her red carpet style though…definitely something to do with anna!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Her best look of the year.
LOVE!!!!
With the hair like that I think it looks better without the jackel! The shoes are not the same shade of red, but if it were it would be too matchy, matchy… I love this sexy and sophisticated look!
I agree that her look is better w/ the jacket. If nothing else it hides the fact that she needed a better bra (or possibly to wear one). It’s a great color on her for sure!
Normally, Chanel can do no wrong for me.
This, however, looks like her pelvis just won the Belmont stakes.
At least the color is lovely on her.
Definitely better with the jacket on. I wish there were a better photo of her wearing it though.
That red is fabulous on her. BDOTW for the photo with the jacket!
I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you guys are thinking, I think the Chanel dress is horrendous! Yuck to the color, the flowers, and the shimmery fabric! And I like Blake and think she is gorgeous.
