Blake Lively is the new fashionista


Blake Lively has officially become a designer darling, whispering at dinner with Karl Lagerfeld, rubbing shoulders with Anna Wintour and the wearing the most anticipated red carpet looks of the week so far.

Fashion editrix Wintour clearly loves the leggy 23-year-old, splashing her on the cover of Vogue three times, but this week the duo were side-by-side.

In July, Anna had taken the actress as her plus-one to Paris Fashion Week, where they sat in the front row together for both the Chanel and Dior shows.

At the time, Blake told Marie Claire UK: "I was speaking with Anna Wintour and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said, 'I love Chanel,' and she said, 'You should come with me to the show.' I also said I loved Dior. She said 'OK, well I'll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we'll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards."

Clearly, she made quite an impression because she was Anna's special guest for Fashion's Night Out: The Show, sitting front row at the Lincoln Center extravaganza Tuesday night, dressed in a yellow and navy strapless Marchesa dress,

The blonde beauty also won over notoriously picky Lagerfeld, donning a lavender and silver sparkly Chanel number for the opening of the Chanel boutique in SoHo on Thursday. She followed that up with an invite to a private dinner on Mercer Street, where she brought along longtime boyfriend Penn Badgley and had the designer's full attention on her.

What a way she has come from the days of the 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants'.
