MOTION PICTURE MARVELOUS

Attending the 2011 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Gala that was held in NYC on January 11, Blake Lively once again rocked one of my favorite red carpet facial expressions of hers: the pouty frown. This is seriously shaping up to be B's signature red carpet look... reference exhibit A, B, C, D, E, and F. Love it!! For her red carpet ensemble, Blake paired a modified purple Marchesa number with matching Burberry heels and tons of turquoise jewelry. Take a look at the selection of purple and plum frocks here on CoutureCandy - such as Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Shirt Dress With Tie in Periwinkle, Sue Wong's Pleated Bubble Mini in Magenta, or Jenny Han's Asymmetric Ruffle Shoulder Dress in Jacinta - and pair with a vibrant pair of earrings, like Amrita Singh's Dune Earring in Turquoise. What are your thoughts on Blake's outfit here, everyone - yay or nay? In other BL news, it seems that she loves the costumes that she wears as Serena van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl" so much that she borrows them for everyday wear! Earlier in the day, Blake was seen filming the show wearing a Burberry Prorsum pre-fall 2011 trench, which she then wore to the Gala later that night! Hey, if she's allowed, why not
