Blake Lively attended the 12-12-12 Sandy Relief concert which took place in New York City. Slipping into a skin-tight red leather mini-dress which featured statement gold stud detail, and completing the look with nude cage style heels, Blake looked effortlessly stylish as she hit the red carpet. Blake seems to be flying under the radar these days – she used to be all over events, magazines and whatever else she could get her hands on, but now that she’s randomly married to Ryan Reynolds, she’s playing it more low key and is possibly even avoiding the spotlight somewhat – is this a whole new Blake? or just the version of Blake that Ryan’s made?!
Blake has always and will always look pretty fantastic. She keeps it simple here with minimal makeup and simple wavy hair – she knows these finishing touches suit her and sticks to the basics. She isn’t taking a huge risk with the red leather dress – it flatters her figure and still stands out, but it’s not as risky as old Blake used to be – but still very elegant and still extremely fashion conscious. Blake is obviously growing up and quickly adapting to her role as a replacement Scarlett Johansson (joke!) – she’s probably just maturing and a little bored of the parties, etc. Now all she needs is a great film role to set her up now that Gossip Girl is calling it quits.
