The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Actress Blake Lively is trying to get into the best shape of her life for her new big role in 2011’s The Green Lantern. She’s normally a gym-phobe, but recently she’s teamed up with a trainer and has been busting her butt in the gym.

Blake works out four days a week with 90 minute long sessions. Within weeks her body has already changes – above she’s pictured recently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala.

Since Blake’s been working out hard, she needs to pack on extra protein to help build muscle. She starts the day with oatmeal, blueberries, then for lunch has grilled chciken and balsamic vinaigrette. For dinner she has fish and veggies – yum!

Did you know Blake is 5′10″ ? I had no idea she was so tall!

Blake Lively says after a long day filming she needs to completely clean her face of all makeup and product – she washes her face with Patricia Wexler’s Foaming Face wash.  Blake says the cleanser has helped her completely clear her skin up.

Burlesque queen Dita von Teese says she put her face in the hands of her dermatologist and she also uses their products. Dita is also a fan of the uber luxurious La Mer skin care line.

Rachel Bilson is also a huge fan of La Mer – she says it’s the best investment she’s ever made (at $130 per ounce!). Rachel’s most important beauty trick besides moisturizing is to never go to bed with your makeup on!

Emily Blunt uses an old family secret to moisturize her skin – she slathers on Olive Oil occasionally for deep moisturizing.

Blake Lively attended the premiere for “Where the Wild Things Are” and her eyes sparkled on the red carpet. Blake’s makeup artist Amy Tagliamonti used gold shadow to reflect the light from around Blake’s eyes.

Tagliamonti began by prepping Blake’s eyes with concealer, and then layered a light gold shadow on her lids and under her lower lash line. To finish rim the eyes with a cream dark liner and finish with mascara.

Blake Lively doesn’t just play a gorgeous girl-with-it-all on Gossip Girl, the actress keeps her skin, hair and makeup in check with routine facials and treatments. After a long day of shooting Blake likes to check out at the Cornelia Day Resort in Manhattan. She indulges in  two hours of treatments which includes their Signature Massage followed by an intense Oxygen Clarifying Facial. The Oxygen Clarifying Facial is perfect for deep cleaning and peeling away layers of makeup and dirt from filming.

To keep her hair from drying out for over-styling Blake has her tresses trimmed at Lukaro Salon in Beverly Hills. She washes everyday with an oil absorbing shampoo and smoothes her frizzes out with a luxurious smoothing cream.

For her signature sun-kissed look, Blake’s makeup artists combine all four shades from the Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes, $56,  a combination of pearly pinks and golds – and finishing off with several coats of mascara. For a bronzed look Blake wears Chanel’s Brilliance Pur in Sunkissed, $45.

Blake Lively looked lovely and amazing in multiple strands of Margo Morrison necklaces at a taping in NYC for Good Morning America. Blake has confessed she is “obsessed” with Margo Morrison necklaces and owns 25 of her pieces! “I wear it every day! Each piece is so rare in color, shape and detail.”

The necklaces are crafted by combining semi-precious stones and pearls with Swarovski crystals, each piece is finished with toggles cast from organic natural shapes.

Other celeb fans include Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, Brooke Shields and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The jewelry line is only available in stores, check the Margo Morrison website to find a store near you.

Blake Lively looked stunning in a fitted silver beach cover up while filming the second season of Gossip Girl on Tilden Beach in Far Rockaway, New York.

I’m still searching to see who makes this cover up, but as you can see it has a silver sequin trim and a cute tassel tie. I love how she paired it with a silver trim straw bag and gladiator sandals.

Who’s style do you like best on Gossip Girl, “S” (Serena van der Woodsen) or “B” (Blair Waldorf)?
