Blake Lively has previously said that she doesn’t work with a stylist when she’s putting together her red carpet/event outfits, but she does get an assistant to show her rails of the latest designer clothes, and she reveals that from there she gets creative on her own. She even often does her own hair and makeup, which she enjoys doing but also admits it adds a lot of extra work:
“My assistant will call style houses for me, but I pick the outfit, shoes and jewelry, and I often do my own hair and make-up for events. Sometimes I think, “Why do I do this to myself? It’s so much extra work.’”
Blake also says she is currently obsessed with ‘Florence and the Machine’ singer Florence Welch, and in general admires people who have a strongly individual sense of style:
“I love Florence Welch. She’s pure magic. I always admire people who make really strong choices. When you do something bold, it’s usually because you feel really good in it.”
Speaking on what all the men she dates have in common, Blake says that they all love food, which is something she shares with them all, because she is currently going through a cooking phase where she is obsessed with making food and talks about it all the time:
“They all like to eat! To be around me, you must love food or I’m the most obnoxious person you’ve ever met. I’m in a big cooking phase. That’s all I talk about.”
