Blake Lively stepped out in New York City wearing a head-turning archival Chanel look for jewelry designer Brent Neale’s holiday capsule collection launch. The appearance marked what appears to be her first official event since parting ways with longtime publicist Leslie Sloane in September. The actor elevated her vintage bow minidress with a chic Chanel bucket bag, creating an elegant designer moment in NYC.
Blake Lively pairs vintage bow minidress with Chanel bucket bag for NYC outing
Blake Lively wore a vintage Chanel Fall/Winter 1994 Ready-to-Wear minidress designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The dark navy sequin number featured a structured corset-inspired bodice, a sweetheart neckline, and two oversized black satin bows placed at the center of the bust. Supermodel Christy Turlington originally modeled the shimmering dress on the runway. Years later, the iconic piece inspired Lily-Rose Depp‘s archival Chanel look at “The Idol” premiere during the Cannes Film Festival.
The 39-year-old completed the archival ensemble with Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2026 Bucket Bag crafted in glossy calfskin with gold-tone hardware. The sleek black accessory added a modern contrast to the vintage dress while tying the entire outfit together.
For footwear, Lively opted for Christian Louboutin’s black Lambskin PVC Un Bout 120 pumps. The pointed-toe heels featured transparent PVC side panels and slim ankle straps. Ultimately, the signature red soles added a polished finish to the glamorous outfit.
Her accessories remained sophisticated yet eye-catching. Lively wore bow drop earrings and stacked several gold cocktail rings across both hands, complementing her soft peach-nude manicure. She styled her blonde hair in loose, side-parted Hollywood waves that effortlessly framed her face. Her beauty look embraced understated glamor with defined eye makeup, soft pink-nude lips, a hint of rosy blush, and a flawless, radiant complexion.
Lively has long supported Brent Neale’s jewelry, previously wearing the designer’s creations in her 2024 film “It Ends With Us.” Her latest NYC appearance blended archival Chanel fashion with contemporary accessories, proving once again that vintage glamor never goes out of style.
