Um, this looks like it’s being held on by a prayer, but Blake Lively stepped out at a Gossip Girl event recently wearing this sheer and tasseled number from Marchesa. Gutsy, definitely. Too much? Hmm…
I really dig the styling, but is the choice racy for the sake of being racy?
guest
Whoa. I actually kind of like it. I can’t really make up my mind.
guest
Oy vey. That’s really bad.

The blue scraps of cloth are amazing, but IMO the tassels are distracting. Too bright, too wide.
guest
I like it

I think the picture got the dress in an unflattering position. If she was posed normally with the white tassles ying down, it would probably look beaut.
guest
I kind of love it. And I’m not feeling like it’s racy for the sake of being racy, but rather FASHIONy for the sake of being FASHIONy (formatting intended). I mean, it’s not like we can see inappropriate portions of skin . . .
You have to take into context the event – if she were posing for some regular, day-time charity event, that’s one thing. But she’s posing for GG – the very thing that made her famous. I say a bit of daring is appropriate here!

Huge miss. This is hideous.

Blech, tassles. I don’t care how risque it would make the dress, the tassles gotta go!! I think it would be pretty damn cute otherwise, provided that no lady spots could be seen through it.

I can’t understand why they picked a picture of her mid-stride to judge this dress by, it makes me think the white in the back sticks out like poorly formed wings. But I do love the dress when it’s still, I think it would fall gorgeously on her. I don’t think it’s very racy at all, compared to all of the things that are out there that she could have worn…
guest
Hit. The dress is gorgeous.
guest
The dress look great on her

MUCH cuter in this picture.
Hit!
guest
I don’t like it.
guest
this is odd
guest
The dress itself is beautifully sculpted. But the tassles are one of those “what were they thinking” moments. Blake looks gorgeous as always!
guest
she doesn’t have the vava-voom sofia vergara bod and attitude to wear this dress.

It looks like she’s wearing curtain tassles. Gross.
guest
I like the blue parts, but the tassels just ruin it
guest
@MasqueradeOfDreams@xanga - ditto, it could be very nice without them.
guest
I think I hate that a lot.
guest
the white things are hideous. but the rest of her dress fit her body so well….
i thinks she wore something similar in Gossip Girl.
IDEA out there. maybe lovelyish should make a montage of all the significant fashion icon dress Serena wore! I am sure thats eye orgasm.
guest
personally I LOVE Marchesa, and right now am kinda obsessed with fringe/tassels. So I think the dress is gorgeous. LOVE! I would do a lot of things to be able to own that dress

Ew. Just because she has a good body, doesn’t mean ANYTHING will look good on her.
guest
C’mon ladies, those aren’t tassels, it is a very long fringe! Hahaha, either way, I don’t think this is flattering on her (because of the fringe). I don’t like tassels or fringe, but I like the blue color. Maybe if it weren’t sooooo sheer.
guest
Just, no… that’s definitely a miss. She’s just too pretty to be wearing that.
guest
crappy picture, but others I saw..made me…kind of…like the dress?
hmm. Idk. it looks way better in other pictures, but I’m not completely sold on that fringe.
The heels are fabulous!

O_O EW.
guest
Well… it’s much better than her acting… but, that’s still not saying much.
guest
@MyGlosoli@xanga - LOL THANK YOU! She’s heinous.

NO.
