Blake Lively Breaks Down 19 Looks From 2005 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue

blake lively amazing or apocalyptic um so i got to look up that writer and see what they think about that now i'm sure they'll still think it was apocalyptic hello vogue i'm blake lively and this is my life and looks here we go aha okay so this is sisterhood of the traveling pants this is my first job i was 16 years old here i played a soccer player the shoes are questionable they're really i don't know why i didn't keep this i'm in a habit of trying to keep a piece of my wardrobe in these shoes wow they are they are very 2004. but this was such a special experience because i met three of my best friends who remain my best friends i was so lucky on my first job to meet women who were just so dynamic and powerful and vulnerable and distinctly themselves i just had like such great role models to look up to a key part of the story is that each of the women are so different than one another and each have such distinct style and personalities so to really see how much fashion could define a character or differentiate a character it really i think imprinted on me young so this is a neat image to to look at for that reason this was my first red carpet ever or orange carpet rather sisterhood of the traveling pants was about to come out i was still in high school and i remember this was april 2nd 2005 and i remember that date because i was at a photo shoot for sisterhood and my sister was about to give birth and they said you need to go do this red carpet so i think two of us got invited and two of us were not allowed in because we weren't um i don't know we weren't a big enough deal to make the guest list they probably regret that now i bet i'm gonna make it the guest list this year the teal thing is a t-shirt that um my mom found it forever 21 or i found i don't know my mom is so kooky and amazing with fashion like she'll find a dress and like cut off the top and wear it as a skirt and like if she runs out of lipstick she'll like lick the end of an advil and rub it on her lips to like give her lips and cheeks i mean it's like i've seen her use dark chocolate as eyeshadow before and then this little over thing which felt so cute my low-rise abercrombie jeans and aldo heels and i had this like fluffy flower brooch that that went on the um on the belt buckle which covered my like hot topic belt buckle and it gave it like a little bit of like a feminine like je ne sais quoi and the flower came off still to this day i don't see how horrifying this look is i see that like ah if the flower would have been there this look would have been ashes gossip girl this dress i mean i think this dress was one of the most critical sort of fashion moments of gossip girl this is a ralph lauren dress this was um just like such a beautiful look those little cropped black gloves and i ended up wearing ralph lauren to the met that was my first year that i was invited to a matt gala and i think they only invited me because of this dress and i even wore crop gloves there because it was like such a sweet look but that show eric damon our costume designer was just so spectacular and inventive and he really took that idea to the next level of like characters really having a look like they were almost like caricatures of themselves they had such distinct look and fashion and i just find that so inspiring to this day i bring that with me to every character the impact of the fashion on that show was greater than anything else greater than the storytelling greater than the characters and and it definitely changed my life vogue my god i mean this was so surreal it's still surreal to me i was i think 21 years old gossip girl had been around for maybe a year um and i was asked to be on the cover of vogue which is um was and is still just i mean uh leaves me speechless i love how classic and old-timey the look was i look at my life now and things that i'm inspired by now and i think that this was another one of those things that really shaped me like this sort of iconic veronica lake style hairdo it was smart you know anna putting a 21 year old girl in a cw teen soap on the cover of vogue to make this the shoot more timeless i googled this photo today because i was trying to remember what year this was taking and headlines said blake lively amazing or apocalyptic i gotta look up that writer and see what they think about that now i'm sure they'll still think it was apocalyptic next well this is saturday night live look at that oh my gosh i mean how cool is that so i get to host saturday night live which is just you know still i can't believe to this day that i was able to host saturday night live i don't work with a stylist i never have the stylist i believe his name is tom there he just loved the costume designs for saturday night live um i went to him like the night before and i said oh so what i wear for the monologue and he's like oh we don't do that we do all the character pieces and i said well i didn't i don't know what to i i wasn't i was styling myself but i wasn't calling in looks at the time i would just sort of go in the closet of whatever we had at gossip girl and borrow so he pulled a dress from topshop the day before this is just a you know sweet topshop dress and um yeah that's i'm wearing these beautiful earrings and i got to host saturday night live next so this was my second vogue cover amazing or apocalyptic i don't know amazing this is rob machado back there who's one of the greatest surfers alive ever so he took me out on a long board and he would paddle paddle paddle and i was just like the best i just like sat on the board and every single time he would stand up and he said my goal is if i do my job right you won't get wet at all okay so this night we were shooting gossip girl in paris this was the night that i met carl lagerfeld for the first time i told anna when tour that i was a big fan of his and that i would love to work with chanel one day and she was like what let's come go to dinner come to dinner with us so she invited me out to dinner with her and carl wanted to wear something for carl that felt i don't know different or like it had a perspective or take so i asked to wear a men's blazer and they were like i don't know about that and now you see it and you're like well obviously like that was a thing but at the time this was like a i was very scared to leave the house and like an oversized men's blazer with these short shorts and the sequins were like little turquoise paets um it was amazing and i had a vintage chanel purse that i had found at like some thrift store in new orleans he was so great he was like let's go get eclairs so he took me out to cafe to floor and we got eclairs we rode around paris and like a convertible bentley this sounds so surreal and i thought well carl he's going to be noticed but i guess you don't mind but you're sitting in like this it was like white or silver it matched his outfit in some way it was like like disney cinderella's movies don't capture what i felt on that night sweet girl okay next okay so this is the savage's premiere this is a harry marad dress beautiful um vintage jewelry that lorraine shorts sent to me i don't know a year or two later they made a barbie with this dress they changed the hair a little but i was like i made it onto a barbie look mom and they were like no no that's not you i was like wait no but it is like you it's the same dress as the same like no that's no you're mistaken this is can this is my first time at can this is a beautiful custom gucci dress i was actually so this dress was made um for the met so two weeks before one or two weeks before was the met the charles james exhibit it was the first time my husband and i did a red carpet together but i was meant to wear that dress that i would have met here to can and i was meant to wear this for the charles james but a couple nights before i thought well there may be other people wearing something similar so let me flip flop them the jewels on this on the front side of this these diamonds they were insane i just love this because i love jewelry i think it's such an important part of fashion and styling but this was one where it was just like simplicity i mean it's easy to say simplicity when you're dripping and like i don't know 500 carats of diamonds but it was just so chic i just like this is still one of my favorite looks of all time to the to this day so this is the angel ball i'm wearing another beautiful gucci dress here when gucci sent this dress they still didn't know i was pregnant but i said oh this look cute because they look kind of stretchy so i thought i may be able to squeeze into it but this was a charity event that i went to for lorraine schwartz it's a great event that raises money for cancer people suspected i was pregnant but this was like the moment this was sort of i guess my my pregnancy coming out that was a fun that was a fun night this is the age of adeline those are my own pants i'm wearing you'll see i i show up with my own wardrobe a lot but that was a movie that was such an amazing experience i got to work with angus strathy who was the costume designer for moulin rouge and that's one of my favorite movies of all time so i was sufficiently geeked out to be working with him and my character is born in 1900 and it spans until current times it was just the most incredible hair and makeup costume design and carol was the hair stylist she used my own hair for the front of everything she would roll up my own hair under it and style my hair in the front to sort of look like this more like 1950s look so that was just such a great tour through through fashion and beauty and then on this movie i secretly got pregnant we found out while i was shooting this movie it was it's especially meaningful to me this this film and this experience can again i do have a life between canon pregnancies i just want to make that clear that my life and looks there there were many years that happened between this nobody had seen me um since i was filming the shallows and i was you know in a bathing suit and that and then nobody saw me for i think it was like five months later i went to can and the first few looks that i wore at can you can't tell that i'm pregnant because i am very private i'm very protective of my children and i don't want to share them with the world and i feel like that starts when they're in the womb so i just thought i'm just gonna dress like i'm not pregnant i'm just gonna wear what i would wear if i wasn't pregnant it was sort of a neat press tour because i remember i would like show up one day and they'd be like she's pregnant and then the next day you'd see another dress and they're like oh shoot me maybe she's not maybe we misspoke which i also think was an interesting conversation because like why do we obsess over women's bodies and like what's going on like if i want to say i'm pregnant i'll say i'm pregnant otherwise like it's just me showing up on a red carpet like our bodies are ever changing and ever evolving and like you know it that doesn't belong to anyone else so here is a simple favor the fun part about simple favor is because i was so inspired by paul feig's looks i mean he was sort of he was my muse even though he was the director i sat down with him and i thought we were going to talk about the character in one of our first meetings and he said what do you want her to look like what do you want her fashion to be and that really caught me off guard because i was used to going to directors and saying okay this is what i think the fashion should be this is where i think we should go with the style and it was something that was like the last on their mind so when he asked me so ahead of time i honestly didn't know what to say and i was i was blown away we had the most incredible costume designer renee kalphus and she was someone who like you know paul and i talked about that idea and then she took it and just like ran with it she sourced the most amazing suits and we had the best time together if i could work with her on everything i would she was just oh she she's somebody who like makes anything feel possible but anyway i would show up on set some days and paul and i would be like mary kate and ashley would be like full twinning in the exact same outfit it was like a permanent who wore it better each day with paul feig this is without a doubt my favorite look of all time this is the met gala 2018 versace dress i get very involved in the design of the dresses i don't know if it's just that i'm a virgo or that i need a life this one was actually a dress that they had made um but it had a a train that was like this like it was a shorter train so we took this dress and said okay look what if i said can you guys add like eight feet of train can you add beading on the inside this had ruching in the middle which kind of looked like it was too tight and like pulling at the hips so i was like we need to pick up that pattern here as well so that you so that it looks like a part of the dress and this was just a headpiece that lorraine made with these brown diamonds and brass it wasn't even gold it was brass because we were just like making it was like bendable like hardware store brass these earrings she made like the night before she took these giant emeralds and stuck it on one of her sister ophira's like shield gold earrings and she stuck an emerald on top so it's very like makeshift christian louboutin made the most beautiful shoes i just love this look so much i just thought it was just so striking it's something that when my kids are like you know giving me attitude i'm like this is your mom like come on i'm an actual i'd like to try to tell them that i'm real life royalty and that they're lucky that i'm raising them they don't buy it they don't believe it this is such a special night and i'm matching the carpet and this has become a thing i did an instagram post where i said where the carpet when the carpet matches the blakes instead of the drains but it's just been a crazy thing every year where i match the carpet um this year i'm actually hosting and i went to anna beforehand and i said hannah there's a lot of pressure i really need to match the carpet this year because we've set a precedent but somehow i don't know i just intuit whoever this carpet designer and i am we're soul mates um because we intuit the same thing there was a versace look i wore with gold and blue feathers matching the carpet but yeah always matching the carpet not this year though i feel like i hadn't been on a red carpet in a while look at my cute little pikachu nails by elk gross change to these little like pokemon balls on my nails i was pregnant and i couldn't hide it any longer my husband was doing a premiere for his movie so we thought well instead of letting some paparazzi walking down the street get a photo i'll just show up looking like you know a giant yellow ball and then my husband and this cute denim vest how sweet is that okay so this is my first ad for my company betty buzz they were made to be mixers so my husband is you know a ginslinger so when i went um to do my first ad for betty buzz i thought i went in his closet and i was like this would sort of be great if i just like took his clothes because you drive around new york city and there are trucks with his face on it with his aviation bottle but i thought like how fun would that be to sort of like um surprise him with a truck with my face on it so i went in his closet and like put on his favorite coat this is like a rick owens jacket and his jeans and t-shirt like the same chair same spot and so anyway and that was like the first the first betty buzz ad and people saw that ad and it went over very well but what people don't know is that i'm actually wearing his clothing in it so you guys gotta find a picture of him in this exact same coach so this is the adam project premiere i just wanted to look like my little pony like i just wanted my kids to like think i'm fabulous um and you know versace sure enough had this but i wanted it to skew a bit more i don't know 60s 70s feeling so with the hair and like the wooden jewels i just wanted to feel like slightly like more bohemians and i couldn't decide between these insane yellow diamonds and these lavender jade circles which is what i thought i would wear it's like oh why don't i wear both so i ended up layering the two i always like to do strange things with the styling this is the gem awards which is why if you look closely right here you'll see i have like a giant i don't know it's like the heart of the ocean sewn onto my dress this yellow diamond and lorraine made these earrings that morning because i was like i want to do yellow diamonds with black jackets she had this great idea to mix it with new diamonds as well and do different like shapes around it and i said can just you just have a spare yellow diamond you can just give to me um just to borrow and to sew onto the dress so i am in that car with a needle and thread and i am sewing this yellow diamond onto my dress just praying that this thing doesn't come off and then literally like leaving the event they're like we need to give it back to us it's like it's so under the dress they were like here's a knife like sitting there cutting this diamond off this is a beautiful sergio hudson dress i you know saw his beautiful designs for the first time at the inauguration and his taste and his design is just is so impeccable because it's classic yet it still feels inspired sergio at me i don't even know what that means i just feel like that's something the kids are saying these days what an honor to get to host and to wear this dress versace turned it out but rather than looking at fashion from that the gilded age i wanted to look at architecture new york has been such a critical part of who i am it's the place i choose to live it's the love of my life other than my family so i thought well i would love to arrive in a copper dress and have that dress patina as i ascend the carpet and turns their degree which is you know oxidized copper a statue of liberty obviously showed up as a shiny copper like a penny and now it's the green that we have so instead of me performing i wanted sort of the dress to perform i think versace thought i was crazy when i called them and pitched this this column of the dress the lions in it are an homage to the empire state building the draping on the side is sort of a tip of the hat to the statue of liberty and this is the constellation ceiling of grand central station grand central felt like a sort of a really neat full circle moment because the first shot of gossip girl i'm on a train and i pull into the station and it's a shot of grand central station so that's it that's my life and looks thank you so much for watching i can't wait to in a few decades from now do some geriatric fashion with you guys really round out this life and looks and i think i get to sign this thing so who am i signing it to my mom can we give this to my mom thank her for all she did to get me here mom this one's for you thanks [Music]
