Cast your mind back to 2005. Can’t remember? You were probably bopping to the Arctic Monkey’s “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” dressed in a full Juicy Couture tracksuit and shouting into your Motorola Razor about how fetch your stack of highlighter-yellow Livestrong bands looked, because, charity.
This was also the year that brought us Blake Lively, then a fresh faced teen, who loved a low-slung faded jean as much as the rest of us. But not for long, after bursting onto the scene with her performance in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, Lively soon ditched said pants in favour of a higher waist band and rather a lot of Chanel couture. Since then, she has spent the last seventeen years sharpening her fashion credentials, regularly topping best dressed lists and rubbing shoulders with Manhattan’s (fashion) elite.
