Ah, good ol' Boobs Lively. She never disappoints.

Boobs Lively is a fairly apt nickname. They ARE lively. She has great boobs. Let's be frank: The world would see a lot more of mine if they were that awesome. But I'm not sure I'd do it in a top that's quite so "Excuse me, Groomsman No. 3, but the Mother of the Bride would like to see you in ladies' room. Bring champagne, LEAVE THE PANTS."
Of course, I highly doubt anyone in a wedding party, however voracious her appetite for spry man flesh, would have finished the outfit thusly:

Formal shorts. OF COURSE. This IS Boobs Legly we're talking about here -- what did I THINK was going to be on her bottom half? Maybe a long skirt with three slits up to her pelvic bone. MAYBE. But formal shorts do the job so much more efficiently, with a more naked skin-to-fabric ratio, and that's really what the science of being Boobs Legly is all about, right? At this point, both are her trademark. So if whipping it all out for the press requires dressing like a very elaborate but easy-to-unwrap present -- kind of like on soap operas, where the ribbon-bedecked lids turn out to be individually done and can just lift off the rest of the box, and then a puppy jumps out and WHERE WERE THE AIR HOLES -- then hot damn, Stems Chestly here is gonna do it.
How would YOU wear the jacket? Talk it out in the comments -- what should she have done, what would you change, is there a winning way to wear a piece so singularly dominant and heavy, etc. Don't forget to keep it on topic, feel the love tonight, live your life like a candle in the wind, hold me closer Tiny Dancer.






Pencil skirt, all the way.
Those... those are some great boobs.
I'm with anonymous and I think the jacket is kind of fabulous.
She would have looked lovely with a lot less cleavage and a slim skirt -- perhaps knee-length at the most? I can't get behind the shoes, though -- something sparkly or shiny would have been a much better choice.
Slim black pants, with a nice high heel. Something that obviously elongates her legs without showing skin.
Yikes, she does show so much skin all at once, doesn't she? I'd definitely pair that top (not that I'd ever wear that top) with a fun, girly, AGE APPROPRIATE skirt. Maybe something with tulle for volume. And change the shoes. Something strappy and fierce.
white formal shorts. i love blake lively-- sexy + classy to the max.
agreed about the pencil skirt. i would also wear a camisole, but that's because my boobs are not quite as lively.
I actually really love the embroidering detail on the jacket, and the jacket paired with those shoes. Because Boobs Legly here finds it impossible to dress like she's under 40, I think a black pencil skirt (maybe with a slit, because those gambs can't be contained) might have been a more put-together look for her.
For starters, I would wear a shirt with the jacket. And a bra under the shirt. And then I would wear pants. And panties under the pants.
I'm not sure if someone's said this already, but don't her an LeAnn Rimes kind of look like sisters?
I like the jacket, but without the giant bow. And I would wear it with slim black pants, and a black high heel.
Sheer white chiffon harem pants with a tiny panty and maybe a wrist corsage to complete the mbilf (Mother of the Bride I'd Like to F--k) look.
Camisole, slacks, heels. Done.
we all know that girlfriend has got both the boobs and the legs for this kind of outfit. i can't fault her for showing off both assets at once (most of us, unfortunately, are only blessed with one or the other). the only thing i would change are those snore-a-licious pumps.
Holy perfect melons, Batman! Also, is "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", a Regis/Kelly Lifetime movie?
Colorful camisole, skinny jeans and sparkly heels.
I'd actually love to see this with a long, formal skirt--something in a swooshy taffeta, perhaps. Probably in basic black, since anything else might fight with the subtle-but-present decoration on the jacket. I think something with this much going on on top (decoration + big bow thing + the...um...display of body parts) needs something fairly substantial on the bottom to balance it. It's not horrible, just a tad more revealing than I think I would be. I can just hear my mother: "I'm sure I have a safety pin. It won't even show if we pin it right..."
also - i think we need to talk about how impeccably this jacket fits!
A camisole would do it. It may be blasphemy here, but I don't actually mind formal shorts, especially on someone as young as Blake Lively. Question: is that boob tape that affords such breastly perkitude? Or some miracle invisibra? Pray, tell.
I would be willing to forgive even the formal shorts if Chesty McMuffins up there would do away with the BOW on that jacket.
OK, no I wouldn't. BOW and shorts must go. Love the shoes, however.
I like the jacket for the season. Not before Halloween, but I'm already in Christmas mode. That said, pencil skirt with a daring slit.
I...don't even know where to start. Clearly the word 'subtle' means nothing to her. I don't knoww if it's possible to unfug that jacket, cause if it wasn't so boobsy, it would just be a giant white mass of...whatever that crap on it is. But I agree with the above commenters, a pencil skirt would have been MUCH less fug than the formal shorts.
(this isn't on topic, i know, but I'm dying to rant about it somewhere...have you seen what Sophia Bush was wearing to this same event? F.U.G.)
Will you stone me if I say I like the jacket? *ducking* Put on a pencil skirt or slim black pants but for all that is holy get rid of those fugly shoes. UGH. Depending on the bottom half of the outfit, maybe a black kitten heel or a rockin' pump.
i'm getting really tired of seeing blake lively's navel plunging necklines. yes, we know you paid a lot of money for your boobs. normal cleavage is enough for about 90% of the time. she needs a neutral colored cami under that jacket. and different shoes.
I agree with the other suggestions but would like to add that she should let her hair down to add a little youth to that jacket.
Maybe I'm low on caffeine, but I kind of like the whimsical juxtaposition of the jacket, shorts length (would've been so much better as a skirt, of course), and shoes. Please let it be the caffeine thing.
I wouldn't wear the jacket but I am secretly coveting her boobs...
Although I usually agree with not showing too much boob and leg at the same time, I never think she looks bad. She manages to do it without looking slutty or desperate.
with a long black skirt, pencil or full, and on an equally boobtastic grown up instead.
I'm sorry, but no. Yes, she does have great boobs, but that jacket is not for someone so young, not even sans cami underneath or real pants or skirt. I can't even get on board with those shoes or her makeup, which neither flatters her features nor matches the tone of the rest of her body. And her hair, which is gorgeous enough to possibly salvage any look, is pulled back? No.
A simple black top under the really lovely jacket to cover up some of the liveliness, a fluffy black tulle skirt that reaches under her knee, and killer black stilettos
How does one manage to combine a Mother Of The Bride looking jacket with formal shorts?
Also, she is clearly in violation of the 11th Commandment:
Thou shalt not have great legs and wear dowdy shoes.
Yo! Boobs McLeggy!
Just say no to bows.
Keep the jacket, lose the shorts. But then what? How about a full length winter white taffeta skirt, a white mink russian hat, and to finish it off, tuck her hands gracefully into a white mink muff. Add Omar Sharif, cue the balalaika music, et voila, Lara lives again.
Knee length black pencil skirt with slit + colorful heels.
She would still be showing her great legs without showing ALL territory. Plus a pencil skirt is more grown up and, unlike formal shorts, will make her butt look great too. Colorful heels will keep it from being TOO grown up. Boobs legly should just continue putting the rest of us to shame (I have great boobs and I'm still jealous). As long as she covers up her thighs a bit, and doesn't physically walk the streets in this, she should be fine.
Somewhere, there is a knee length-ish skirt with that exact same pattern on it. I mean, if you're to go Mother of the Bride, do it all the way, man. The shoes would also have that pattern...
I'm not crazy about the boobs and bow, but I'm with the person who suggested a shorter, flouncy skirt. I think it could possibly work with something fun and frothy in an ivory tulle or chiffon, with a metallic clutch and a strappy, metallic sandal. Also, Blake, let down your gorgeous hair!
i don't know, i kind of feel like a pencil skirt would age this way too much. i think maybe a black mini would work, but a pencil skirt would make this look too suit-y, which = fug (to me, anyway). and then some fabulous black louboutins. i LOVE this jacket, though. mmmmm-MM. yes.
Maybe a black pencil skirt and a toned down bow, but honestly, I think she looks pretty hot here- sexy and vivacious without looking like a tranny.
I would, however, fire her makeup artist. Between this and her previous unfug it up, it's obvious he or she has some issues matching foundation. Her face is a different color than her boobs and it ages her.

I am so torn on this. I love the jacket, but the prude in me would like it as such covering a cute CAMISOLE of some sort. OK, I have many options for this outfit:
A.) Keep the jacket as is with a long ball swooshy skirt, hair back but not so matronly, strappy heel.
B.) Keep jacket as is with black skinny trousers and hair down, a kicky jewel-colored pump.
C.) PUT ON A SHIRT under the cami and I might live with the short-shorts. She is young and leggy after all.
I kind of think that a flowy-above the knee skirt would contrast the super-rigidness of the jacket much more nicely than a pencil skirt, especially at her age. It would show off the legs, still, but not so obviously. No tulle - tulle with that embroidery would scream WEDDING far more than it already does. As for colour, I'm trying to make up my mind, but I think ANY colour of the rainbow spectrum would be find, except maybe brown, black, white, or beige.
I like the shoes, but that's two different shades of white and since the jacket is so domineering, I notice the contrasting shades in a not so good way. Perhaps nude or reversing the colour of the heels would have been better - meaning, instead of white with black detailing, the heels should have been black with white detailing?
And, while she has the BODY to wear this kind of outfit, I'm sorry, it does not scream "classy". She needs to choose which feature to accentuate: legs or boobs, otherwise, you just look like you need more fabric and that's far more distracting, as this post points out.
That jacket is so Southern-TV-Evangelist, or your-grandma-dressed-up. I would rip off the bow and make it short-sleeved, and I second all the pencil skirt recommendations. And likely put a little lacy shirt underneath, but we all know Miss B. Legly wouldn't go that far.
oooh, i just read the slim black pants idea and i love that. with this jacket i feel like that would be the epitome of elegance.
The jacket is just too matronly, period. Maybe if it was in a different color - ooooh, that would work, maybe in black or a dark jewel tone. And no bow - bow BAD! BAD bow! She does have a great rack, and there is a small window in ones life where one can display said rack and not have people start thinking she needs some support brackets for it. So, display on, Blakes, but pick the rack or the poles to put out there, but not both at the same time.
Damn, I actually like the ridiculously well fitting jacket.
Since she is so boobtastically gifted I would be sneaky and wear like a sheer black v-neck top under that so you get the illusion of being more covered up, BUT REALLY YOU ARE NOT.
Then slap on some cute, black tulle/ chiffon skirt and equally cute, but non-descript, black heels and voila.
The shoes are fugly. End of story. I like the idea of slim jeans and uniformly sparkly shoes. The jacket is, personally, kind of ugly in theory to me, but DOES fit her like a glove and could work dressed down a bit. The pencil skirt combo would be good IF she WERE going to a wedding and the tulle idea good IF she were the bride. I would keep the daring plunge but perhaps cover it over with a piece of sheer linen like in the good old 18th century, to add some, dare I say, subtlety to the fleshy sass.
Less cleavage would be ideal, I mean, they're ALWAYS out there. But I do love the jacket. Maybe a lacy undershirt would've been perfect.
I would show off mine if they looked like that, but I don't like the big bow thing at the waist, and thing a pencil skirt would look better.
And LOL at your soap reference; in my house we actually do have some boxes wrapped like that at Christmas and refer to them as "soap opera presents."
This jacket makes me think of an R-rated version of Bing Crosby's White Christmas....
I think that the jacket should be paired with a camisole, and either slim pants (black or white) and non-white shoes; or maybe a pencil skirt and tall boots. However, I also think that the jacket should be worn by someone a bit older than Blake. While fabulous, it is definitely a mature piece.
"She manages to do it without looking slutty or desperate."
But she does look both. Being clean, blonde, and somewhat attractive does not make wearing jacket as blouse, or top as a dress, look any less trashy or CFM.
The jacket is too old for her. period. A pencil skirt would age it even more. Get rid of the whole thing, dress your age, and put those things away already.
how has no one commented on the fug that is her hair??
i also like the jacket and hate the shoes. i would actually like to see her wearing jeans with it. slim fit, dark or medium wash. and killer shoes - velvet in purple? and HER HAIR DOWN!
I completely heart this look. Everything - even the boobs - look fabulous. It is a super chic look, and yet, a really fun one. I don't know if I have my boobs are brave enough for this look, but I would love to try it.
Need it. Want it. Crave it. =)
Sigh ... sometimes Blake takes the phrase "If you've got it, flaunt it" enviably far. If I looked like her, I would definitely wear that jacket. It is elaborate and interesting and flattering (on her). Even though it is a little "older" looking, wearing it without a blouse/cami/shell makes it "young." I would, however, wear a pencil skirt in a lighter color. Or maybe even (gasp), light formal shorts. The black is a little much. But GOD, her legs are just perfect. I hope Penn appreciates this.
Slim Black Slacks or a Black Pencil Skirt..for anyone else but her! The Jacket is just too old for her..she looks like she raided her moms closet for it. Trying WAY TO HARD!
See, you said Stems Chestly, and then I suddenly thought of Chessly Sullenberger, and everything got even more wrong than it was already.
The jacket is so busy that wearing it with a simple black tank and dark jeans would not be uncalled for. I would lose the present belt altogether though - it seems unnecessarily formal and elderly. It also makes the jacket look like a Christmas wedding cake. A pair of bright red heels would finish the look rather nicely, give it some color. Simple earrings. No necklace require with all the jacket detail. Unless her hair was down. Which it should be, because her hair is amazing.
Quite simply, I wouldn't wear it all. It looks like she nicked it from the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular costume shop.
Black or navy minidress (I hate to say it, but a Herve Leger bandage dress would do just fine - you know she's got at least ONE lying around) with the jacket over. I would change the shoes to black - they're not horrible but the fact that they're a different shade of white than the jacket is a deal breaker.
I hate to say it, but I came in thinking "cami & a flowy, simple skirt", & not I'm thinking very dark wash straight leg jeans (SO freaking sick of skinnies), and dark red velvet shoes. She can keep the admittedly lovely boobs out if she covers the legs.
This much skin just looks like she left off a layer somewhere.
I worry about a slim black pant or a pencil skirt making her look old. I think it would have to be a tight pencil skirt to keep the youthfulness with this jacket.
I am not sure what this event is, but I actually really like the idea of skinny jeans. It would keep it young and still show off her amazing tatas.
Long pencil skirt, slit up to there; but not black -- the palest, silvery ice blue.
A gossamer, silver scarf tucked just inside the entire long collar line of that jacket, so that it tones down the BOOBAGE IN OUR FACES by reducing the bare-skin acreage.
Some kind of understated silver shoe.
I was feeling no love for the jacket necessarily, but once you showed me the formal shorts and white heels, my GAHHHHHHH drowned out any inner monologue about said jacket.
Hid.
E.
Ous.
Can I just take a moment to talk about her boobs? They confound and amaze me, as a dude who like dudes I honestly don't know enough about boobs and how they all work, but hers seem to be magic. When I watch Gossip Girl I honestly can't figure them out half the time, they are distracting but amazing and unlike anybody else. They defy gravity, yet appear natural.
I don't think that jacket can be saved, I guess I would like to see it with a white pant on somebody like Sigourney Weaver and with a white shirt under it.
She should have chosen ANOTHER outfit. This is sooooo FUG!!!!
I DO like the idea of wearing it with jeans. Youthify it a bit.
Her boobs ARE amazing.
Smaller, less bauble-ly earrings would turn down the Grandma-factor. The jacket is almost awesome, just hack off the bow and kinda cover the booooobs with a neutral silky or sheer cami. Formal shorts don't distract from the bow, but without it some jeans would do even better. However, that would all probably be too dowdy for Blake.
I knew that jacket reminded me of something/someone, it is this:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Im3_DDT_eKc/SKWkoXIMVYI/AAAAAAAACTM/dgb-co3-Pbs/s400/Elvis_Presley.jpg
I get where people are coming from with "pencil skirt" and "slacks" recommendation, but honestly won't that instantly morph the look into super-office appropriate? I guess I just kinda hate any riff (even a sparkly cleavagey one) on "the suit" I say trash the whole look and go for a mini skirted dress and fab shoes.
When I clicked to the full picture I yelled so loudly I scared my pets.
Now that the shock has worn off, I can say that I like the fabric and cut of the jacket, but the bows make it matronly. Remove the bows and pair it with...hmmm...Not sure. I like the idea of cigarette pants. Or maybe as a jacket over super-fitted dress in a deep color or black.
Those shoes are the probably the worst I've seen in quite some time. Hideous.
nice site keep it up and best of luck for your future
I don't like this outfit, but I like the jacket very much, and I just can't get over how startlingly amazing her body is. Holey moley. Two words: not fair.
Is it just me, or is she wearing NUDE PANTYHOSE? Certainly her legs are a different color than her chest. Her face is also a different color than her chest, but I attribute that to bad foundation. Or bad spray tan on (just?) her chest. But hopefully she is not wearing foundation on her legs. Whatever the excuse, it's inexcusable.
First - I'd wear a top with this jacket. Since when is it ok to wear an open coat and no shirt? A camisole. That's what I'd wear.
And some skinny jeans. I reckon anything else would be too mother-of-the-bride-y.
Yes, it's a word.
Let the hair down, lose the giant bow on the jacket, and instead of black formal shorts, change out for skinny jeans (maybe even distressed) and a pump in an unexpected color.
What about a nice pair of skinny jeans? or Audrey Hepburn-style black cigarette pants? either way, PANTS.
at first i was completely perplexed by this, as to what would go with it.
i thought maybe skinny jeans (my answer to everything) but that could leave her looking a bit boxy on top?
also, mid thinking, i came to the conclusion kate hudson could really rock this ensemble, with bootcut jeans, dont ask me why.
but then i read anonymous comment, and yep pencil skirt all the way, so obvious!
White shoes should ONLY be worn by brides. Formal shorts should only be worn by tap-dancers.
'nuff said.
There's no saving any of this. That jacket looks like it is MADE OUT OF THE WEDDING CAKE.
Sorry. Caps were necessary. I want cake now.
Doesn't it seem like her jacket is wrapped up in a bow as if to say 'here you go, world. Here are my boobs. Behold.'
This outfit can't be saved, too fug.
She's so trashy. Her and Megan Fox should hang out.
I have no issue with the cut of the jacket. If I was better endowed (say, anything other than AA), I'd certainly celebrate it. Enough about me. I'd like to see the jacket in a different color; the beading is quite lovely, but the off-white color is a little too mother-of-the-bride for my tastes.
As for the bottom -- I think skinny jeans or pencil skirt would have done the job nicely. And let's get her some metallic heels, stat.
(I have a raging girl crush on Blake Lively. I think it's the hair.)
Grr! Why does everyone praise such obviously-implanted boobs?!!
For the love of all that is good and holy: THE SHOES! What is going on with those hideous shoes?!?!?
Oh, and she does have lovely breasts. I envy those.
But those shoes!! So so ugly that I can barely see the rest of what she is wearing.
I think there is a jacket-shaped hole in one of Mariah Carey's couches.
Her top half looks like a Dynasty reject, while the bottom half just left me speechless.
Wow. I am in awe of those gravity-defying boobs! Are they silicone? Because I'm convinced that real boobs that size wouldn't stay up without help. Well done Blake! I really like the jacket, but I'd take off the tacky Christmas decoration bow on the front. And I'd add a pencil skirt.
Fug girls, you crack me up!
With a beaded floor-length skirt and a train - ON MY WEDDING DAY - sans the vile shoes, and probably with some strategically-placed duct tape holding The Girls in place.
Get the frosting off her jacket, keep the boobs just as (for the good of the public) but get some black skinny jeans and a killer stiletto to complete. Why aren't formal shorts over yet? I recall wearing them when I was fifteen and being unsure of their longevity at the time.
I was going to suggest trashing the whole thing and starting over, but then I saw Currygirl's idea of a short poufy skirt and some strappy shoes. Get rid of the awful bow, and I would even sign off on the cleavage because whether or not I think it's unseemly, Blake's motto appears to be "Dig me, I've got a better body than you have."
I won't say it's my fave outfit, but if I looked like that, I probably wouldn't wear clothes either..
Top: sheer camisole? That would be slightly more demure, while keeping the jacket young and sexy. Anything heavier would make it granny all the way.
Bottom: I would do skinny black pants if it were me. Same rule with makeup, if you're going to wear red lipstick, do simple eyes and vice versa. Low cut jacket? Tone it down on the bottom. That is, if you have any intention of appearing to have some class.
I'm at a loss with shoe suggestions. Not White.
Cripes, what was she thinking?
What she needs to do with the jacket is this: give it to her Mom. Maybe her Grandma. And while Grandma Lively might have the Boobs Lively genes, I think Grandma Lively might do well to wear a silk cream chemise or something. It's a lovely jacket, but decades too old for her.
Or, OR! She could take off the whole outfit, burn it, AND WEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
What makes them "formal" shorts?
I kind of like the jacket, if my chest looked like that, I'd probably wear it that way. The shorts look like she forgot to finish dressing, but a matching skirt would look matronly, so something in the order of black skirt, long slim slacks, would improve the look - but most of all CUTE SHOES. She's wearing a sparkely jacket and "formal" shorts with espadrills. White canvas espadrills. Honestly.
She should let her hair down! It would totally tone down the whole mother of the bride aspect and totally make her look more youthful.
I wouldn't, personally. And not sure anyone but a randy MOB/G should either. Love those shoes, though!
The jacket is fabulous. As Michael Kors would say, "the tailoring is impeccable". However, I would lose the formal shorts and go with a nice black pencil skirt, in a non-shiny fabric. She should also rethink those Payless shoes. They are truly heinous.
And while she's rethinking things, she should seriously reconsider showing all her goodies at once. True, she's got great legs and great boobs, but no one is going to pay to see what she insists on showing for free.
PS ... Evelyn, I don't think those are espadrilles (I can clearly see a heel) but you are right. Honestly.
Grr! Why does everyone praise such obviously-implanted boobs?!!
Seriously? Have you ever even looked at this girl before? Her boobs are obviously 100% real.
Much as I love good ole Stems Chestly (her middle name has got to be something to do with her hair, right?) I reckon that jacket with formal shorts makes her look like a waitress at an establishment run by Heidi Fleiss. If you pair that jacket with black pants she's still waitressing, albeit at a slightly classier joint. I say throw it all away and start again.
jeans. skinny jeans. with boots made of the same fabric.
or maybe go for broke and lady gaga it all the way - sparkly hot pants and a garter.
Yikes, that is bad. She definitely has not learned that when you're showing a lot on top you cover the bottom and vice versa. Those shoes are heinous. Has anyone else noticed her ill-fitting clothes on Gossip Girl lately?
sorry boobs legly but that top is fugly and when i say fugly i mean i want to rip it apart with my bare teeth. but i wouldn't be able to. because the drape material used is not chewable.
I would have worn the jacket on Helen Mirren.
get rid of the bow.
long black skirt with a big slit up each side, because those legs are too gorgeous to cover up entirely.
Those are implants.
Black pants.
I think all the suggestions are boring. I wouldn't change a thing. She's beautiful, as is!
i would not get my tan from one of those head, body, legs flip books
Despite the daring neckline and the snug fit, somehow the jacket still looks matronly and rather like something Dale Evans would wear, with a turtleneck underneath and a ten gallon on top.
Slim black slacks are a good idea, get RID OF THE BOW and I would soften the fabric of the jacket to maybe a satin with a soft tie.
The problem is not really so much with the jacket itself, it's that her boobs are so round/fake looking (at least the top aspect of them) that it ends up looking like too too much. I'm not trying to hate on/accuse of fake boobery Ms.Lively (although I wouldn't be suprised if they were fake) I'm just saying that having such a rounded, unnatural look takes an already risque yet classy jacket and leaves it bordering on trashy fugly. If the jacket opening was just a tad narrower I think it could be fine. I think she's young enough to show legs and boob simultaneously, maybe just not so much on the boobs.
You know? I kind of like the jacket, myself. Without the bow. Lose the bow. And wear it with anything* but formal shorts.
*I don't really many anything. I mean something reasonable, like a grey pencil skirt, or slacks, or maybe even nice jeans. But not a romper, or a jumpsuit, or... you get the idea
If she had on a festive cap, she would look like a Rockette getting ready for her Sunday matinee.
1. congratulations to her, because that is quite some party in the chestal region.
2. shoulder pads look wrong if you have forgotten trousers.
3. if she will persist with the fleshfest, at least her legs should match her face colourwise.
so.... some sort of fishtail skirt to balance the shoulders, in a dark green or somesuch. put on some form of cami, sheer or lace if she has to. to be frank, any shoes would be an improvement.
I'd wrap her bottom half in a list of good psychotherapists. She'll need it someday when her looks fade and she tries to repair a self-image that is so clearly based on showing off her melon-like boobs and full legs at all times.
JEANS. SKINNY. INDIGO. OPEN-TOE. DECONSTRUCT THE HAIR SLIGHTLY.
done and DONE.
by NOT wearing it
I always feel like a bore editing these Warrant meets Dynasty ensembles. The outfit is definitely mostly Dynasty, but there is just enough boobage to hum "Cherry Pie."
I like the jacket minus the bow and her hair and face are wonderful. But what about a shirt under that blazer? Is that old-fashioned? Also, why shorts? Is there a soccer match after the gala? A pencil skirt would look great with this. Why the seam between the legs? What does this add?
It is so very obvious to me that a skirt is necessary that I wonder if I am mistaken...
I don't wear skirts because I can't sit like a lady, perhaps she shares this affliction...
Jacket backwards... and a dark brown skirt of some sort... positively boring I'm sure.
Camisole, lose the bow, knee-length black pencil skirt, I actually like those shoes but they could use a peeptoe, and reduce the amount of foundation by about 75%.
When I saw the first picture, I thought the hair looked fine, but that was when I was assuming it was a pantsuity sort of thing. If the jacket's going to be part of a more evening-oriented outfit, I think she'd look better with the hair down.
Chloe Sivigny dressed as a toilet plunger cozy has nothing to fear from this Lively person.
She's dressed for tap dancing or cigarette sales, but forgot the tall, TALL hair. Boring, actually.
Swap the shorts for black skinny jeans and I like it. I think the only reason that jacket is okay on a 20-something girl is because it shows so much of her awesome boobs. Put a camisole under it and it's too matronly for her.
That jacket fits her like a dream. And those ARE some bodacious tatas.
NEVERTHELESS. A nice black camisole undernearth it wouldn't have killed her. I would lose the third tier of the bow (actually, *I* would lose the bow altogether, but if she really digs the bow she should at least take it down a notch).
And then a nice black pencil skirt. Hell, she could even go short, or with a daring slit (NOT short AND a daring slit--Blake, do your stylists tell you NOTHING??). But this whole formal shorts thing has got to go, unless you've got Rod Stewart singing "Hot Pants" somewhere in the background. Actually, EVEN if you've got Rod Stewart singing "Hot Pants" somewhere in the background.
Scusa, but uhm, she looks kinda weird.. Her boob area is like way more tanned than her (beautiful) legs. Like they are powdered or something.
I actually like the jacket. It is detailed and elegant. Her *ahem* upper body is something that could conceivably be considered a gift; so no hate for the bow as it's placement works.
* The shorts are out of proportion to the top and I agree with all who said dark skinny jean, pencil skirt, flouncy but not busy skirt, elegant and skinny black trou, or teriffic fitting minidress as an improvement. Anything but shorts and heavy jacket.(Black on all but jeans. I feel major love for black and shades of white together)
Cannot feel any sort of affection for white closed toe shoes. (stepping away from where I typed preceding description before it touches me) I say sparkly and sexy black shoe with the trou or jeans and something really cfm and strappy with the skirts/dresses.
*The skirt or dress must meet the school fingertip rule due to high cleavage alert.
Hair down, straight, sleek and lovely.
I would also probably pair the jacket with the pencil skirt, but I also would have it in a bright colour (maybe fuchsia) and a COMPLETELY different fabric with no matronly pattern. Not that I don't like pattern, just not this one.
That comment about soap opera gift boxes totally brings back great memories. I remember watching Days of our Lives and thinking "Who wraps presents like that!?!"
Ber beat me to the punch: You have to start by being Helen Mirren.
Then, on top: Pair the jacket with a simple, champagne-coloured camisole (with a neckline that roughly follows the jacket but keeps silicone valley under wraps).
On the bottom: For day, a crisp pencil skirt in raw silk; for night, a plain, floor-length mermaid skirt (I can't believe I'm advocating that, but I that's what the jacket is saying to me) with just a hint of sheen.
Hmmmmm, I would change the hawt pants for skinny black cigarette pants, take the bow off the jacket, and wear a heeee-yougly ruffled blouse under the jacket. The blouse could even be unbuttoned quite a bit, but in my head the ruffles are so rufflicious that they hide some of the boobage. Of course, add killer platforms, et voila!
I also like the idea of pairing the jacket (sans bow again) with skinny jeans, because I like to pair formal with completely informal, and I'd add a tiny tank underneath, a huge statement necklace, and killer shoes again. Of course.
1. Trim the middle set of tails of the bow.
2. Change the background color of the jacket to a more vivid hue.
3. (Not really dependent on 1 or 2 happening, but in a perfect world . . . .) Remove formal shorts, add either one mid-thigh length miniskirt or a pair of slim tuxedo pants (hey, if your going formal, sell it.)
4. More brightly colored shoe - a red would look sharp, methinks, but it would depend on what color the jacket got changed to.
5. Hair down and softly curled - it needs to be soft and pretty to balance the oomph of the jacket.

ICK!! EWW! NO! ARRRRRRGHH! I don't know if there is a way to fix this. Not in the same outfit.
Wonder how much two-sided tape was required in order to ensure there were no nip slips?
Her legs and face are a different color than her torso.
Her boobs are mesmerising. So are her legs. It would be hard to resist the urge to flaunt both show-stopping features at the same time if one were blessed enough to possess them.
But girlfriend needs an intervention - enough is enough.
To improve - baby steps - one or the other. Change the shorts of a short sexy dress. Or keep the boobalicious jacket, and swap for some wide-legged slacks or rock n roll jeans to toughen up her mother of the bride look. And maybe, just maybe, put a cami on underneath? To much to ask?
Eff it, I love the formal shorts! You've got something that looks like what my mom wore on a cruise to Alaska in the early '90s (MINUS the boobage), right? So besides the additional cleavage, what else are you going to do to stop someone from shouting "let's conga line!" and breaking out the ice sculptures?
Black shorts, of course! They shut down the party like a cop at the wrong kind of cooking class! They're the perfect counterpoint to that jacket. It's like the yin and the yang. I don't approve of formal shorts in any other situation and agree that Ms. Lively still needs an intervention, but for once in the history of the universe, it works for me.
Just pull the zip up on the jacket about three inches. Voila! Some subtle boob therefore allowing legs to be the focus. I don't know how many times you Fug Ladies have said 'Boobs or Legs: you must choose!' but it warrants saying it again.
The jacket is very "Holiday Ho", although a bra and a pretty camisole could fix that. Even without the cami, just fasten another button or something -- her belly button is about to pop out, and while I have no problems with belly buttons per se, they should definitely be revealed by the HEM of the garment, not the neckline.
Yeah,I'm on the "like the bow" team here -- FOR THE HOLIDAYS. When there is lots of food around to distract me, I can forgive stuff like that. Gingerbread and candy canes make everything look better. Hot chocolate with whipped cream, pumpkin pie, roast beef or properly basted turkey, super buttery mashed potatoes...
Sorry. Where was I? Oh, yeah.
Skirt or slacks would work, depending on the venue. A long skirt would be so Big Black Tie Event, lovely fitted (not skin tight) dress slacks would be better for a less formal occasion, a pencil skirt for a fancy daytime thing Formal Shorts should be restricted to those not yet legal to drink alcohol in the US.
I'm shocked at the sympathy expressed here for this upholstered-looking Junior-League-Christmas-party jacket. Shocked, but moved. However, that bow has got to go. And the sleeves, and the bad-lieutenant shoulder pads. Make a fitted vest out of this thing, with slight naughty-bustier overtones. One camisole, coming up. Ditch the 'formal shorts' (the blue-stocking term for hot pants, apparently) and bring in that pencil skirt OR pencil pants with some nice putanesca strappy heels. NOT WHITE ONES.
Full length chiffon, sequined cammi, diamonds, and about 50 yrs. That's an old-lady jacket!
Is it just me, or does the jacket look a lot like wedding cake? Would look nice with black skinny pants or white pencil skirt.
I would have made this outfit better by putting her in a longer skirt and PUTTING HER DAMN BOOBS AWAY. ARRRGH.
That is all.
Black pencil skirt hemmed just below the knee. Black heels. Maybe with an ankle strap.
the jacket is perfect as is - worn with a matching mini-skirt would be a class act.
If you're going to wear Naomi Judd's jacket, wear a shirt under it, kid.
Does she dress this way because she's vaguely "mannish?" Like, look at mah boobs, I'm a girl.
Hate those white shoes too.
Jacket: flip it around backwards and ditch the sleeves.
Skirt (not shorts): mid-calf, champagne tulle or chiffon.
Shoes: NOT THOSE.
I freaking ADORE this jacket. Frosting, bows, color, everything. I don't think it's too old for her at all (especially with The Boobs all hanging out). But the entire bottom half has got to go. After reading the comments, I'm in favor of distressed jeans (straight or skinny) and a fabulous, sky-high, colored heel.
You know what? She's hot. The shoes are ugly, but she's hot, so it's kind of a big "whatever."
you know, this wouldn't be my cup of tea at first glance normally, but somehow she makes it work. i saw photos of her in the jacket somewhere else and it didn't even dawn on me that it could look 'old' or 'mother-of-the-bride,' but now i can see where people get that idea. i think the lack of a camisole (or other clothing) under it keeps it young. i think it NEEDS that. someone said a sheer black cami, and i like that, but i think its better as it is. the shorts too. again, i think that a pencil skirt sounds great, but actually, somehow, i think the shorts keep it younger. it breaks all the rules in theory, i would say 'no' if you described it to me, but i think its so wrong, its right.
the shoes, however, are another story. those are the ONLY thing that NEEDS to be changed here. i normally hate booties, but in the spirit of the outfit, i think it would have been nice to break that rule too and wear a pointy black pair. or sky high, shine, pointy heels.
hair and makeup - less foundation. and at first, i thought more make up, more color, slicked back hair. it seems *right,* like the outfit needs that (like the pencil skirt and cami), but i think it would be worse. i think the sort of mismatch of it all, and the 'laziness' of the grooming, soften it up and keep it young. anything heavier would have looked old.
the whole look has a theme of 'like it- question it- break down aspects- pinpoint how they are wrong- think of 'improvement'- realize somehow it wouldn't work - conclude each aspect is bad but somehow works with each other 'bad' component to be right.' except for the shoes, which truly are wrong and really could be improved.
Agree with the bottom half comments (pencil skirt, swishy taffeta formal skirt, black dress pants, any of the above).
Agree with ditching the bow comments, although in a moment of weakness, I might be OK with it......
BUT -- Skin is not now, and never has been, a shirt!
Please! Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD!
I fear it is unsalvageable. I thought the jacket was fine, if a little matronly-- and then I saw the bow. And I had to say no. (Yes, I intended for that to rhyme.)
Didn't anyone teach her that you either show off your boobs or your legs. Not both at the same time?!
Ever since she got those fake boobs we can't be spared th sight of them... I can't blame her for showing those legs though. She had to pair that jacket with a pencil skirt and peep-toe pumps. Hair in a ponytail maybe? the bun is too severe, makes her look old.
ok, ponytail for sure, but not a pencil skirt a mini skirt in say purple, metallic shoes.
The jacket is still hideous but since it's makind a point.
shorts? yes
all she needs is a lil tank top under that jacket and we're ready to rolllll.
Give the jacket short sleeves to make it less Matronly - but I love the bow! It's kind of fun.
I liked the previous advice of skinny jeans and letting her hair down.
I dislike the jacket so much, I think we should just run the other direction.
Literally.
Add a cute pink t-shirt, some running shoes, and she's set for at least one legitimate activity. (Okay, maybe leave the earrings at home during the jog.)
I think the jacket looks like the most beautiful wedding cake I've ever seen.
I am ok with the shorts. Because her legs are gorgeous and obviously that gorgeous legs deserve some showing off before it turned all knobby and veiny.
Hate the jacket, but she can pair off with another not so bow-ish AND glitter-ish jacket. Pick one, jacket with bow or jacket with glitter, together just seems too much.
Do wish she put on some kind of shirt or tank top under the jacket. I like the
If Show Boobs
Longer Skirts/Pants
Elseif show legs
Show some cleavage
Endif.
I'm a nerd.
SOMETHING black on top would have helped balance out her top half. ANYTHING-- even a black throat jewel like Sloan wore in the movie Legend when she turned all 'bad' and almost got fresh with devil-Tim Curry.
That movie is bad ass!
Um, the fact that you keep reiterating what "great boobs" she has and that, inexplicably, others echo your sentiment makes me seriously doubt the collective vision...People, they're implants, and, worse, they look immovable. Not bolted on in the traditional "half grapefruit" look but clearly if the girl did jumping jacks, nothing would be moving in the boobage dept.
So, "perky?" Yes. "Great?" Yeah, no, and, more importantly, even if you think they are, the surgeon deserves the compliment.
Slim black pants (because the top is complicated and revealing enough) and hair down.
Before I get to the boobs and the length, or lack thereof, of the skirt, I need to address the shoes. While not entirely offensive, they remind me of a pair of shoes my grandmother stopped wearing some time around 1982.
There is no reason in the world for anyone to be wearing an outfit like this unless they are going to be stripping for a crowd or selling what barely lies beneath to a john. It's one thing to wear something edgy and revealing, but quite another to see how much you can get away with before you are naked.
On top of that, the top is like some bizarro world mother of the bride separate.
At this point, Lively has shown us so much of herself that she's become more boring than she already was.
I think she looks amazing... I say, if you got it flaunt it! People can always look the other way...
I'm not a friend of giant bows placed anywhere on any garment. Otherwise I like the clean lines of the jacket.
And with her age: No long pants or pencil skirt. Maybe a silk balloon skirt. Uhmm, no. Boring.
Black Audrey Hepburn pants. Thats it.
Shoes are OK but better switch the colours: Black shoes with white trim. And make em flat and turn them into ballerinas.
I don't really consider boobs wherein one can apparently see the 360-degree implant outline to be "great".
That said, the top would look good with a simple, long pencil skirt (no more than one discreet slit to enable movement), or even pants (wider at the bottom).
Curses, this was from yesterday. I concur with the majority of Fug Nation, pencil skirt. Then rip off the frightening bow and dust her face off a bit- it seems she got wig powder all over it. Seriously, Boobs Legly (awesome) is goooooorgeous and she doesn't need that much concealer. I was going to say cover up the boobs a little, but they're so fantastic that I don't have the heart.
*cough*I like the whole outfit*cough*
When she's dreaming this is what Blanche Devereaux pictures herself looking like.
Okay, but seriously - if I had those pins and the boobs, I would SOOOOO trot them out every single day of my life (well, at least while in my twenties). Trashiness be damned!
Plus, me thinks they're not fake. Oh the humanity.
Haha, a sparkly bra a la Dancing with the Stars. Okay, maybe not. A "camisole" that inexplicably cuts under the boobs. Okay, still no.
I think I'd cover the cleavage a bit on top with a sheer fabric and a long necklace and keep the shorts.
Mark my words, some day, when a lineman dies in a tragic all-you-can-eat steakhouse overdose, all of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders will come to the stadium funeral wearing this exact outfit. For her leadership in this regard, Lively is a boobacious American hero ahead of her time and out of her element.
Had she some sartorial discernment, however, yes, she would lose the grotesque mother-in-law bow (Normally, I'd 86 the whole jacket, but it is undeniably a great mammary vehicle here.) and wear a Posh-designed pencil skirt.
Lively, you've ignored kinder admonishments to pick boobs or legs, so now consider this: Your chest is exemplary, whereas your legs are skinny. Why do you want to give them equal billing? ...Mm. Upon reflection, let me answer my own question here. I once knew a 28-year-old Phoenix, AZ salesgirl who presented a lot like Lively here. It was less pretty than you'd imagine, witnessing the 60+-year-old men's unsavory, downright-scary reactions at the wedding. So now I can see how this schtick functions in B-list Hollywood. But it looks like a rough pony to ride.
For the love of god people, her boobs are not fake. She is 22 years old and her chest is on the smaller side so of course they are going to look perky. I can make mine look that round with the right top too.

Stems Chestley! God, you slay me.
Matching white palazzo pants and much more rouge on the cheeks. Add some shoulder pads and voila! She's ready for the remake of Dallas.
Dress pants and shoes that aren't whiter than her top.
There is no saving this jacket, there is no saving this outfit. I would recommend that Ms. Lively remove every stitch of clothing, (something she seems super keen to do) and Whipped Cream the blazer on, NOT THE BOW, and apply dark chocolate icing (with a ganache?)to replace the shorts. She could then star in an adult flick, maybe Tongue in Chic?
Only someone like Penelope Cruz or a sassy cougar from one of the various real housewives could pull the jacket off. Maybe trying a cami underneath the jacket, and wear it open, or *gasp" leggings, or i dont know, PANTS.

Ouch.
Jacket in a color of some sort (red or green!), and fastened up to where there's no cleavage showing, and a pencil skirt in a coordinating (paler? black?) color.
I am flabbergasted by her in this jacket. This jacket could only be pulled off by a woman over 55 as a suit and of course with something underneath. Is it an heirloom from grandma?! And the white shoes with the (inappropriate) off white jacket makes it that much worse. I think we all agree that she has a hot bod but this is a NO. The only way to fix it is to start over.
actually, it is very obvious that blake lively's coveted boobs are fake
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7cT-N57JZYY/SLd_o5kvvTI/AAAAAAAAO1Y/hLfAGhWpa3Y/s400/bl1b.jpg
normal breasts DONT sit like that, ever. even if you're young, big boobs hang, they dont sit, even if they are perky the weight is concentrated in the bottom if you arent wearing a bra which she isnt in the above picture or here
http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2009/05/blake-lively-elephant-riding.jpg
she also got a nose job but im not going to post those pictures...i just cant deal with everyone praising her when a lot of that shit aint real
Catsuit... duh!
She does have fantastic legs, but even so hot pants are never a good idea. A skirt, skinny jeans, anything really would be an improvement.
She might also want to re-think the plunging neckline, since as has been noted above, with so much of her breasts hanging out, it's easy to see that they're implants - notice the distinct lines around the edges.
Blakestle Livelington shouldn't revel in her mother's Dynasty-inspired hand-me-downs until she's had one facelift under her upholstered bow belt.
on anyone else, i would say this outfit sucks BUT on her it looks GREAT! Boobs Legly really lives up to her name. I think changing the bottom half would ruin it.
I'm a little sad that she didn't shock us by wearing something like a see-through black lace cami. Still revealing, less slutty. And white heels? I mean, really? Really? I guess she ran out of creativity after the jacket.
I'm sorry but that jacket is HIDEOUS. It looks like ready to wear wedding-cake frosting. But if she MUST wear it, I would have gone for some sleek pants. A vibrant shirt underneath could have looked cute too...
How in the world can one of the most beautiful girls in hollywood look so terrible? Does her stylist hate her? Starting from the head and working down... WHY is her foundation two shades lighter than her chest? And why does she always pull her hair back so tightly? She has beautiful hair. Let it out, girl! Or else I will come and take it and give it the love it deserves.
The jacket could actually be pretty with three modifications. 1. Take of the bow. That is hideous and so very tacky, and not in a delightful way. 2. The weird ice-dancer-esque shiny pattern needs to go. It makes the whole thing look cheap and grandma-like. 3. PUT SOMETHING UNDER IT! I won't lie... her boobs are amazing, but a little less of them wouldn't be amiss. Even a low-cut tank under the jacket would class up the outfit in ten seconds.
Now for the bottom half. She looks like she just came from a volleyball game in her spankies and just hoped no one would photograph that half of her because her boobs were so noticeable. Bad plan. Because she also has gorgeous legs, so they weren't going to "fly under the radar" with that much of them out. I have the urge to lend her my knee pads.
And last, her shoes.... they are bad. I love how they perfectly incorporate both of the colors in her outfit, and manage to look like heeled slippers while doing so.
Whoever styled her should be fired. Immediately.
Ok, I'm gonna admit that I don't hate the formal shorts on her. She certainly got the bod and the presence to pull them off. My real problem is with the sleeves on that jacket.
The jacket itself is interesting and I like the structured look of the bow. But I hate the sleeves. They make a jacket that is essentially cut down to the bellybutton, look stuffy. Those sleeves are clearly evil. Just put your hands over the sleeves on the screen and see what I mean. It's a million times younger and fresher!
Now if someone can hold her down so we can pull those tragic shoes off of her feet, and someone else can scissor off those stuffy sleves, we'd be in business.
Personally, I would wear it with with a blouse wtih ruffles on the chest, and a bell-shaped skirt. If Moi-même-Moitié even made white skirts, that would be it. Then white knee-high socks, rocking-horse-shoes and a nice little cake-looking mini top-hat in my curled hair. In my opinion a really cute sweet lolita outfit!
Dark, skinny jeans and high heels.
Dark, skinny jeans and high heels.
Short(ish) outrageously poufy black skirt, a la Betsey Johnson. Ramp up the ridiculousness, I say.
She always seems to dress too old for age. I think that's why she feels she has to youth-it-up a low neckline and a lotta leg. She should swap the mother-of-the-bride jacket for a a sequined tank, change the shorts to a black mini, and let the hair out.
Also, the jacket makes her look like she has no neck. She has to watch that.
ALL TOGETHER NOW "BOOB-JOB"!!!!!!!
Black underwear (a la Sienna Miller) because I'm that much classier.
AHEM! Those are implants. My first thought when I saw Blake Lively for the first time was "her boobs look exactly like mine!"- and yes, I have implants. I think a lot of people aren't used to seeing implants that are on the small side, which is why they're "overlooked" as being implants so frequently. Anyone who didn't know me prior to my surgery (which was just over a year ago) would never guess I have them because they look proportionate (mine are a tiny bit smaller, though, and my frame is a tiny bit smaller than hers), BUT I don't wear things that show that much cleavage, if any. I'm used to hearing people bash women with implants, so it's refreshing to hear people actually compliment her so much, even if they are "fake". I've had people make rude comments about other women with implants in front of me, not having a clue that I have them. I'm not even sure why some people get so snotty about it to begin with - I didn't want to live my entire life without *anything* in the way of boobs, and I think a lot of women would feel the same if they were born flat-chested.
End of rant!
FAKE BOOBS. She got them earlier this year, ever since then she's been showing them off. Obvious to me or anyone who can look at an older picture of her. Come on folks, even young girls don't have boobage like half grapefruits.
