Blake Lively Doth Protest Too Much

California blonde and Gossip Girls queen bee Blake Lively insists she never wanted to be an actress. It just happened.

She recently sat down with the UK’s Independent and said that she really wanted to go to college at Stanford, but after her role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005, when she was a high school junior, the demand for her services simply never let up. She did, however finish high school and has not completely given up on the dream of going to college, although she says she “wouldn’t try to study anything to pursue a different profession,” according to The Independent.

Season two of the hit television show Gossip Girls is now in production, and during her time off between season one and season two, Lively filmed The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, which is based on a novel by writer/director Rebecca Miller, and also stars Keanu Reeves, Julianne Moore, Monica Bellucci, and Robin Wright Penn.

After saying that her acting role models include Annette Bening, Cate Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, and Kate Winslet, Lively says, “Well, whatever I do, I try to do my best at it. There are things I feel like I’m good at but I don’t do those things enough. I’m a really great decorator and a good cook and yet I act.”

Hot Celebrity Trend: How to Wear One-Shoulder Dresses

One of the most unexpected and surprisingly fresh trends of late summer seems to be the one-shoulder dress. Across the board, this vampy look is making waves with all types of celebrities. Whether they are going for an avant-garde look, or merely something youthful and fun, celebs are making this revolving trend their own again.

My favorite new twist on this hot again trend is the belted look. Blake lively turns an average blue dress into something fabulous with a simple cinch of the belt. For a more off-beat look, opt for a cap sleeve, like on Rachel Bilson. One of my favorite ways to wear the one-shoulder look is the “Grecian goddess” style, like on Jenny McCarthy. Gauzy fabrics and pleated gathers make for an ethereal yet sophisticated look on a one-shoulder dress.

Want to try this hot celebrity trend? Here’s how to wear one-shoulder dresses:

Fun:

Look for bright colors and flirty details, while keeping it simple all at the same time. This trend will work best with a solid color (a print will make this style look dated). I absolutely love this one from Juicy Couture…it makes me want to go dancing!

Basic:

Yes, a one-shoulder dress can be basic, I promise. If you are hesitant to try this trend, go for a simple sheath in black first. This is perfect paired under a shrunken tuxedo jacket for work; nix the jacket for happy hour for a great desk-to-dinner look.

Still wondering what to do with that one-shoulder top you’ve been kicking around your closet since 2002? Resurrect it! If it is a solid color (black and white are going to work best), pair it with a pencil skirt in a matching or complimenting color and cinch in the middle with a belt. Voila! Instant dress! Try this trend out now while the weather is still warm, and let us know what you think of this look.
