Blake Does Braids, Two Ways

Blake Lively is becoming increasingly infamous for a certain cell phone picture scandal, but it wasn’t all that long ago that the Gossip Girl star was best known for her long, lustrous blond locks—even dethroning Jennifer Aniston to take the best hair prize of 2009. Lively’s recent adventures in ginger gloss have landed her with chunky highlights of both the auburn and flaxen variety, which she showcased at last night’s Green Lantern premiere by playing up her texture. Sporting a side-slung, super-loose braid that fell over her Chanel couture gown, the bombshell incorporated two, tightly woven fishtail plaits down the center of the style and a gilded Chanel camellia broach to hold everything together. We’re staying mum on Lively’s private exploits for the time being, but we will say this: She sure does know how to kill it on the red carpet. Don’t you think?
