Blake Lively is a woman of many talents. Not only does she regularly star in Hollywood blockbusters, but she also manages to juggle raising her two young daughters, while inspiring us all with her sartorial stylings.
Though most other stretched mothers find themselves adopting a uniform of yoga pants and sweatshirts, Blake can be seen running errands in perfectly coordinated outfits. Sure, she's one of the most recognisable faces in the entertainment industry - but something other than her penchant for Chanel and Prabal Gurung makes her stand out in this regard - and it's the fact that she still styles herself.
So, naturally, the actress was uniquely qualified to roast one of the world's top models on their choice of outfit.
Blake Lively is giving her husband, Ryan Reynolds, a run for his money recently. The mother-of-two has been taking to Instagram to make jokes and troll her nearest and dearest. Her latest victim? None other than Gigi Hadid.
Last week, Gigi shared an image from a recent photo shoot to her Instagram, where she's wearing a baggy sweater, short shorts - which show off her incredibly toned legs - and heels with socks.
Naturally, the comments section was filled with fans telling Gigi that she looked fabulous, but no comment got as many likes as Blake Lively's.
“Freaky. This is EXACTLY what I look like in shorts after two kids,” she jested.
I mean, we know you were being sarcastic Blake, but c'mon, you probably do look exactly like that - two kids and all.
Recently, at a press event at Barney's, the actress revealed the reason why she insists on handling her wardrobe on her own.
"It's a lot of work," the 31-year-old said, according to WWD. "I mean, it’s not hard in that we all dress ourselves every morning. So once you have the clothes, you just pick out what to wear like any other human being does. But it’s easier because you have access to clothes and so it’s not that hard."
Explaining that she does have an assistant to help her with all the admin, Lively continued "The hard part is going through all the fashion shows and screenshotting all the looks you like and calling them in. I have an assistant who helps in calling in the looks. But a lot of it is I have relationships with the designers."
"I just sent Lorraine Schwartz and Christian Louboutin my dress, and said, 'Ok let’s do something special.' They’re making something custom for it. So it’s kind of nice, because I have a bunch of artists around me who I have direct relationships with. It’s sort of a group effort with that. I rely on people who do that for a living rather than outsourcing it to someone else."
The mother-of-two did, however, stress that she enjoys doing the work. "I have control issues and a big ego — that’s probably the honest answer," she laughed before adding that she "just" likes it.
"I love design and I love fashion and it’s a way to be creative. In my job, I get to be creative, but it’s over a period of time and so many other people are involved, whereas this is a beginning, middle, and end, and I get to be creative and there’s an end date in the near future."
Well, how's that for a working mother?
