Blake Lively In Valentino – Simon Doonan Fashion Inspired Installation Unveiling At The Diet Pepsi Style Studio

Blake Lively attended the Simon Doonan Fashion Inspired Installation Unveiling at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio in New York City last Friday.

She looked sensational wearing a Valentino Pre-Fall 2011 dress which was sheer and bedazzled with embroidered details to the version presented by the model.

I love her lace cocktail dress, but it was paired with the strangest Christian Louboutin ankle boots.

I know my girl loves an ankle boot, but they don’t complement the dress at all plus they make her incredible legs seem shorter.

10 for the dress. Nil points for the footwear.

Green Lorraine Schwartz earrings completed her look.

I really like the dress in black. The footwear is horrible. I have never understood the whole booties with dresses.

I prefer this dress in white. I love ankle boots, but it doesn’t mean that I wear them with everything, most of all with an evening dress. Also they seem to have suede details. No, I don’t like this look.

I love the dress but sometimes she is just a pretty girl to me.She does not inspire me.

She looks so much younger in these pics. As soon as I saw them I thought it was an old event, I don’t know why.

I love the dress- Blake’s color allowed the detail to show better. The shoes look like pasted dung blobs.

Ughhh ankle booties are my kryptonite. They ruin this perfectly fine look.

  Agreed. I can’t wait for the ankle boot trend to end!

Like the dress, hate the shoes. But this outfit is like the event: forgetful.

Someone was paid to go lol. But I don’t think it’s overexposure – it’s not like she has attended a lot of NFW events this season. Hope to see her for the Burbeery show at LFW.

I like the earrings but the rest is a snoozefest. Those booties, yuck.

I LOVE your blog. by the way, I don’t like Blake, I think Leighton is so much better. But I love the dress in black. But the ankle….. nop.

Prefer the model color. Blake’s one looks too much of a dress over t-shirt. She looks pretty though.

And If I were her, I would skip this event. I know she’s been paid showing up, but posing in front of zillion Pepsi cans is a big no for me.

And this is what I call overexposure.
