Blake Lively is the new face of Gucci, and here she is talking to Celebuzz about her love of "designing a character" and throwing herself into the sartorial aspects of her work.
She's already gushed about how much she loved dressing like the "
urban equestrian chic" Serena on Gossip Girl.
“When I play a character so different than myself, I love to hide behind the clothes,” Blake told Celebuzz. “It’s actually a really good secret –- if you don’t look like her, and you don’t talk like her, then you can disappear.”
She felt that her styling in the film hit a little
too close to home:
When you look like you, you talk like you, you’re from southern California and you wear clothes you went shopping for at Topshop, then it gets to be a little messy. Like, 'I don’t want people to think this is me!’ It was a really weird personal challenge shooting this.
Blake Lively substituting her Chanel blazers for Topshop mini dresses? Gasp? High street can be hot too, when you look like Blake.
