A Fendi bag was a mainstay on the crook of Serena van der Woodsen\u2019s arm across the Gossip Girl<\/em> series. And while Serena (played by Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester) toted many a classic Chanel and Moschino heart-shaped purse, more often than not, someone<\/em> was lounging on the steps of the Met or stomping around Manhattan with that F-emblazoned Peekaboo or Baguette in tow.<\/p>\n In the post-Serena years, Blake Lively has established a singular sense of personal style\u2014famously while styling herself\u2014defined by sherbet tones<\/a> and novelty accessories<\/a>, textural contrasts and big shapes. That\u2019s not a slice of pizza, that\u2019s a handbag<\/a>! Latex<\/a> or tulle<\/a>? Why not both! The actor and haircare brand founder<\/a> is, if anything, a fashion maximalist.<\/p>\n But stepping out in New York last night (May 19), Lively experimented in neutrals, letting her choice of bag\u2014a Fendi purse, obviously\u2014take center stage. Lively attended an event celebrating a reedition of the Baguette bag at the house\u2019s New York flagship, where she wore a cuffed and classic beige trench coat, a scoopneck black tank top, black straight-leg jeans, and pointed black mules. For accessories, a marquise diamond necklace and a black, silver-studded Fendi Baguette. Her long blonde hair was worn in undulating waves, swept over one shoulder.<\/p>\n Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Later, Lively was spotted exiting the event with a shopping bag, having picked up a new purse to add to her Fendi collection. Olivia Wilde, Ivy Getty, and Ella Hunt were also among the Baguette-fanatic guestlist.<\/p>\n<\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n
