Blake Lively is most recognized for three things: her Hollywood success, her long, luscious tresses, and her distinctive sense of style. If you follow Blake on Instagram, you already know how much the mother of two adores a good plaid ensemble. The starlet is no stranger to unconventional dress choices and self-expression. In fact, she seems to be drawn to them. Blake scores it every time when it comes to combining something conventional, like a two-piece tuxedo, with something different, like a plaid pattern.

In a plaid-on-plaid outfit evocative of Serena van der Woodsen’s clothing, Blake Lively delivered a big Gossip Girl flashback at Versace’s afterparty. Blake’s ensemble was far more glam than Serena’s, but the actress was definitely following her own fashion guidelines for the evening. She was dressed in a chequered skirt made entirely of multicolored beads, with a freshly ironed white oxford tucked in. Her Christian Louboutin thigh-high boots were made in the same way. A blue plaid coat was draped over the entire ensemble, pulling it all together.

Blake Lively wore her fourth ensemble of the day, a Ralph Lauren Collection double-breasted glen plaid suit. Finely tailored suiting has made a comeback in the autumn collections, which are now available in stores.

Blake Lively pulled off a modest casual outfit when out and about in New York City, proving that little is more. As she walked across town on a call, the actress maintained her basic look with a nice plaid shirt jacket. Blake showed off her toned stomach and a black tank top underneath her bulky top, which she wore open. She accessorized her look with faded white shoes and black trousers to stay loyal to the sporty concept. As the wind blew over her shoulders, the Simple Favor star wore her tresses over her shoulders.
