Breathtakingly s t u n n i n g .
I must say that I am fairly impressed with Miss Lively. The Cavalli dress was an unbelievable choice, the styling absolutely impeccable. Wavy, signature blonde locks, smokey eyes, a pinky-nude lip accessorized with a touch of jewelry and platform sandals. Exactly how I would have worn it (should I ever own the to-die-for dress), save the blonde locks. Do substitute the dark brown hair, darlings.
And might I add that I am head-over-heels in love with this dress. In a sea of cutout and/or mesh dresses, this Cavalli number is truly the classiest of them all. The front implements quite the sophisticated, if not conservative cut: three-quarter length sleeves and a just-above-the-knee length are my favorites (and most flattering on yours truly). The black mesh inserts at the waist in triangular cutouts are most sensual in the best way possible, accentuating the wearer’s hourglass figure and adding a touch of modernity with edginess.
Then turn around, dahling. First the profile makes for a lovely peek at skin. Then the entire back is revealed. This, my loves, is my dream freakum dress. Indisputably sophisticated, utterly sexy.
(Roberto, darling, do send one my way.)
bisous,
La C.

mm agreed! I’m totally digging the sheer cut outs, lately. I await the day that I can wear something like that and the day I can get my hands on it!
Keith says

La Couturier says
esther: Aw, thank you darling! (:

Cafe Fashionista says
Blake Lively would look divine in a paper bag; though this dress is stunning – I think I’m in love. 🙂
Halie says
Gorgeous look! I love white dresses – they’re always oh-so-chic and make even those who are quite pale appear at least slightly tan!
Nina says
I NEED this dress , too. It’s perfection!
Gerri Ward says
OMG! Blake solely makes this fab dress come alive as you do with your incredibly fab description ! ! !
bisous,

Kristin says
She most definitely makes more right moves than wrong. Love the simple necklace. Very well played.
Allison says
I adore Blake Lively – her fashion choices are always on point, as proven by this beautiful choice in attire! I am absolutely drooling over this dress. Monsieur Cavalli est tres magnifique! 😉
cindy says
obvi i agree.i posted this look a few days ago. i really believe miss lively’s been picking great stuff lately. i love the pink micheal kors she wore to the cfda’s too.
as for my ysl ring, that’s what made me buy it. i saw that net-a-porter only had a few sizes, i freaked and made the impulse buy. i didn’t want to wait, it sellout and then i pine over it forever like the tie dye suede miu miu bag and the fringed mulberry i’m always searching for on ebay. you could always try a department store.
La Couturier says
Allison: Agreeeeed!
cindy: I do too! As of late her red carpet looks have been amazing! And I totally missed when Net-a-porter restocked it! I’m still on the hunt for it – I refuse to give up!
Krystal Bick says
Agreed. The world would be a better place if you (oh and me too) owned this dress. Absolutely beautiful. I recently cut up one of my black dresses in an attempt to recreate a similar cutout. Doesn’t even come close. Damn you Blake! 🙂
La Couturier says
Krystal Bick: Hahahah the world would be a better place if you and I owned the dress! (: And agreed. Damn you Blake. (;
Elena says
Great choices, BUT I must admit that when I first saw the pictures I was mostly impressed by the shoes! They’re very feminine but at the same time rock and a little edgy! Perfection!
janettaylor says
Such a beautiful!
XoXo
Nil says
Wow amazing dress indeed!
Slices of Beauty says
Stunning, both shoes and dress!
Lucy (The Fashion Setter) says
The dress is nice and fits her (I remeber her look at MET Gala, totally wrong). Maybe I would have opted for a different shoe.

La Couturier says
Lucy: Oo, I do remember that as well – the fit was hardly flattering on her! I perhaps would have opted for a different shoe as well, but it doesn’t clash too horribly!
The Biche says
She’s so stylish!

Charlotte says
The dress is stunning! I also love the way you placed the photos; the way you first see the front and later the back.
There’s one thing I don’t like; the little necklace. I think her outfit looked better without.
charmaine says
She looks absolutely.. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!! That little sheer bit is SO sexy!!!
jessica says
I am a big fan of her. She is a natural beauty. Doesn’t have to try too hard and I love that. These photos are fantastic and so are her shoes :p
xo,
Jessica

Amazing! I love how elegant and at the same time sexy it is! The back is almost completely open but still it’s not tacky or vulgar ^^ I wish I could afford Cavalli dresses ^^

rossovelvet says
Even if it’s Cavalli and I’m allergic to Cavalli this is so well done ! Blake manages to make white making her look thinner ! Stunning and sexy !
p.s: for the giveaway I’ll try tomorrow or the day after x)
Elizabeth Marie says
Another perfect look from Blake…seriously can she do any wrong?! Love it!

Dexter: I do hope he got my message too … (;
