Blake Lively at the Met Gala 2010

Best dressed in New York

The 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala was held in New York City earlier this year, and I have to say that Blake Lively stole the show - she was definitely my pick for best dressed on the red carpet.

Blake Lively wore a beautiful dress by Marchesa, part of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. The dress is one-shoulder and a striking blue, decorated with a pretty and elaborate floral detail. The shape, the design and the colour are what I love about this dress and what make it so unique.

Marchesa is known for it's stunning and graceful dresses (for an example, check out the post on Taylor Momsen's red carpet style). However, what I love even more about Blake's dress is that it's short. Blake manages to be elegant while still being age-appropriate, because after all, she's young and so should be having fun with fashion!
