WWD reports today that
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is the official ambassador for Chanel’s new Mademoiselle handbag line and will appear in an ad campaign launching in April. Lively is photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself, and the photo shot took place at iconic Coco Chanel’s
Rue Cambon apartment. I think Lively is the perfect young face for Chanel. Blake Lively was at a loss to describe the experience of standing on that famous mirrored staircase upon which Gabrielle Chanel sent her models marching — and being photographed there by Lagerfeld. “How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?,” she enthused. “A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.” Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld felt equally lucky to be able to have a Blake Lively as the face for the Madamoiselle bag line. “She’s a kind of American dream girl,” said Lagerfeld, lauding Lively’s spontaneous nature, freshness and what he described as natural star quality. “I think she will become a great actress. She’s full of life.”
