Fashion History Blog 2: Observing Fashion


Both of these red-carpet dresses are a beautiful blue with unique silhouettes that accent the actresses legs and arms. Though one is a short mini-dress and one a maxi-dress with a slit up one leg, both dresses are a flattering blue which looks great on the actress. The mini-dress uses embroidery and 3 dimensional add-ons of fabric to make a bold design that draws the eye to the shoulder and ultimately to her face. In both pictures she wears minimal heels in a neutral color as to not take too much attention away from the dress. The maxi-dress also uses one open shoulder and slit as to make the dress youthful and fun for a young actress. The deep V-neck also adds sex appeal just like the mini-dress does for her legs. I personally love this color blue and think that both of these dresses are beautiful and though both dresses are very different in style, they both accentuate the great parts of her body and are youthful looks for the red carpet. One dress is slinky and soft while the other is a geometrical piece of art.

This actress is my favorite actress and style icon, Blake Lively. She became known as a style icon on Gossip Girl as she played an Upper East side "it" girl. Blake Lively is not just a fashionista as the character on her show, she continues to have impeccable style even off screen- as seen here on the red carpet. She is a young actress with huge sex appeal which she plays up in these two dresses. These dresses show her star power and show her as a true fashion icon. Everything she wears, from jeans and a shirt to cocktail dresses have a unique style that is all her own.
