Blake Lively of Gossip Girl Named Chanel Ambassador

Blake Lively is living the dream. Karl Lagerfeld has chosen the Gossip Girl star as the new Chanel ambassador and model. “She's a kind of American dream girl,” Lagerfeld said. Lively’s been having quite the year—she starred in the Golden Globe-nominated film, The Town and has her most high-profile film role to date in the upcoming superhero flick, Green Lantern. The 23-year-old actress and burgeoning fashion icon will appear as the new face of Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag line, in a campaign photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself, in March. “How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?” Lively says of her new gig. “A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.”
