Blake Lively has said that she really enjoys being her own stylist because when some celebrities have the help of a stylist, they end up looking obviously styled because the person they worked with might include signature styling elements. Blake feels so passionately about fashion that she loves to figure out her wardrobe solo and thanks to her job she is able to track down any designer pieces she desires:
“Because I love fashion. It’s such an expression of self. I often see people and they look great, but I can identify who styled them. Every stylist has a signature. Maybe it sounds jerky, but I’m lucky to be on such a fashion-centric show [Gossip Girl]. There’s no designer I don’t have access to.”
Blake believes people think she is quite like her Gossip Girl character because she dresses similarly and then people believe she lives the same kind of life. She claims to have only had four boyfriends in the past, which shocked some who didn’t believe her, but she says if she isn’t with the right guy, she likes to be alone:
“People like to draw parallels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl. I dress the same as my character, so they think, She lives this life on and off set. I recently shared how many boyfriends I’ve had [four], and people were like, ‘That’s impossible!’ But it’s true. I’ve been with very few people. If I’m not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I’d rather be by myself.”
