Tassels and a Plunging Neckline Spells L-I-V-E-L-Y

There’s nothing wrong with wardrobe risk takers especially when you strut your stuff in tinsel town. And there’s definitely nothing wrong with Blake Lively stepping out twice in a week with a drop-dead stunning, and definitely modesty-threatening garbs that showed off her curves and dips. Thinking what I’m thinking? Well, the Gossip Girl Season 5 Episode 9: Rhodes to Perdition starlet is out and about turning heads in two separate events just this week, and expect to see more of Blake in more daring than ever ensembles.

To quote, she started toppling showbizlandia in a quite daring sheer Marchesa dress, with only fancy tassels to cover her modesty. Talk about that! Risque outfit number two comes in the form of a bright blue tux, with a plunging neckline that left little to the imagination. The 24-year old fashionista capsized Lady Gaga’s Workshop Opening at Barneys in New York the other night.

The décolletage speaks for it, as Miss Lively opted to wear the tux sand blouse or shirt underneath, and on account of the low-cut attire and not room for underwear, a hint of the star’s fashion tape is seen peeking out. 

While it may have been difficult to be distracted from the area, another standout on Blake's bright ensemble were the lacy shoulder pads.

The feature gave the the two-piece a certain eighties feel.

Without her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds on hand, Blake instead cosied up to her Gossip Girl co-star Matthew Settle at the event.

Blake Lively will always be Blake Lively, no matter what people say. She’s just this kind of person who is as breathtaking as ever, and comes out every time with new and original ensembles that could make any budding fashionista green with envy. See her now, see her then, and se what happens next on Gossip Girl Season 5 Episode 9: Rhodes to Perdition. And before I forget, the next episode of the show will be on November 28, 2011.
