Cover Girl: Blake Lively Suits Up in a Red Tux for Marie Claire’s July Issue
Since 2007, BLAKE LIVELY has been popping up on your television screens every week as the troubled rich girl Serena van der Woodsen on The CW's "Gossip Girl", but as she gears up for the fifth and final season, she's using her summer to promote a blossoming future in film.
The 24-year-old actress covers the July 2012 issue of Marie Claire -- photographed by Txema Yeste -- and chats about her new film "Savages", men, and of course, fashion! Psst, she really doesn't have a stylist.
"My assistant will call fashion houses for me, but I always pick the outfit, shoes, jewelry, and a lot 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!"
Fashion editor Nina Garcia hooked Blake up with a red silk-satin long tuxedo dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Balmain for the cover, but inside the issue you'll find her in dazzling dresses by Marios Schwab, Jenny Packham, Antonio Berardi, and more!
