TODAY'S CELEBRITY STYLE: BLAKE LIVELY

Blake Lively is a true style icon ..

casual look with her favorite Christian Louboutin pumps

The look for less: All Saints jacket, Topshop scarf, Steve Madden boots, ASOS bag

Blake’s look for (a little) less: Missoni scarf, Rag & Bone cardigan, a.l.c. leather skirt, L.A.M.B. shoes

Here, she evoked the spirit of old-school Hollywood starlets for her look. I think she nailed it.
