Blake Lively: An American in Paris

For her Vanity Fair pictorial during spring/summer ’08 Fashion Week in Paris, Blake tried on an array of haute couture creations. Above, she lounges leisurely in a tulle Atelier Versace dress at the renovated le Meurice Hotel.



This 33-pound Swarovski-crystal-encrusted
satin gown by Dior features 6,000 sequins—
handstitched with gold thread, obviously.





Lively vamps it up in Gaultier Paris
on lantern-lit Rue Visconti, in a
setup inspired by an iconic Helmut
Newton photograph.









Lively recalls the glamorous pinups
of Hollywood’s past in an Armani Privé
dress, with makeup by Chanel.

Lively, photographed here with
French pop band BB Brunes,
called this Chanel look “Sofia
Coppola’s take on Alice in Wonderland.”
