Blake Lively’s boobsy Versace vs. Beyonce’s conservative style

2behappy_10_wenn3112700

Last night, Blake Lively and Beyonce were co-hostesses of a launch party for Lorraine Schwartz’s ‘2BHAPPY’ jewelry collection. Blake wore Versace – one of the most budget-looking Versace dresses I’ve ever seen, actually. I usually associate Versace with looking on the friendly side of the trashy vs. sexy side, but Blake’s overall look is… not good. Sidenote: does anyone else think that the fabric in front looks like vagina drapes? I also kind of think she asked Versace to raise the hem of what was supposed to be a full-length gown. In any case, Blake had her tittays out, so you know she was either depressed and/or looking for someone to tell her that she’s WAY prettier than Carey Mulligan.

Meanwhile, Bey wore an Antonio Berardi pencil dress from the Fall 2010 collection. I like this better than the brownish dress she wore on Sunday night (that was Naeem Khan), but I still feel like something is off. This is not the best bustline/neckline for a girl who is anything more than an A-cup. I think that’s it. Because otherwise, the dress is rather nice. My verdict: Bey is better dressed than Blake.

    Beyonce by a mile. Blake looks like my deceased grandmother’s old lamp and drape set. They matched and had fringe.

    My cats would love that dress.

  2. aenflex says:

    I am so fucking sick and tired of the way Lively poses. That’s it. She poses like she thinks she is most important thing on this little speck of a planet.
    Yes she is an attractive young woman, but it’s not an emergency.

  3. devilgirl says:

    Love both dresses.

  4. Samigirl says:

    Bey looks STUNNING. Much much prettier than Blake.
    I *lol’ed* at “vagina drapes”

  5. guesty says:

    love beyonce’s…love it. blake’s not so much.

  6. Amanda says:

    I like Blake’s dress, although I could do without the hanging fringe. I think her styling is not good- all the cheap looking bracelets and the ugly brown shoes. Perhaps the top of the dress is too delicate for Blake’s large chest.

  7. Marie says:

    I LOVE everyone’s hate over Lively when i honestly can’t recall just one thing she has done to deserve it.

  8. bros says:

    sigh. i have such a girl crush on blake. she rocks whatever she puts on because she is so incredibly good looking and has a great body. even the gofugyourself girls admit this.

  9. Hollowdoll says:

    Sidenote: does anyone else think that the fabric in front looks like vagina drapes? That is exactly what I thought! The dress is rediculous!

  10. ghoulish_moose says:

    I dont know who Blake Lively is, but that colour doesn’t go so well with her skin tone. It washes her out.

    Beyonce looks lovely in white. Dont you think her smile looks fake though? It looks like a rehearsed smile, especially the first pic of her against the white backdrop…

  11. mln says:

    I like both dresses except Blakes’ fringe. @Marie Blake may be beautiful but she is so overated and has been hyped a bit too much which is why so many people are annoyed with her.

  12. Rosali says:

    i love blake!!!

  13. Deeta says:

    Both dresses are fine, though i agree with Amanda that the fringe is unnecessary.

    Hate Beyonce’s weave

  14. JustBe says:

    I actually like Lively’s dress. I think the accessories are unfortunate, though. She should have chosen more subtle pieces to accentuate the apparent delicateness of the fabric. And her shoes seem like something one would wear with a favorite pair of jeans.

    Beyonce’s dress is gorgeous. I appreciate the length and the styling and it absolutely accentuates her curves.

    It’s also interesting that she’s wearing House of Dereon less and less. I find that whole clothing line to be beyond gaudy!

    Wait, I just looked at the photo again and I have to mend my comment about Lively’s dress if it’s some sort of bodice connected to a skirt? Please say this is not the case!! Is that skin showing at midriff or a different shade of fabric?? The former would be hooker tragic, the latter borderline classy.

  15. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    I like both dresses too. I don’t see anything wrong with either dress. I think Blake has an accessories issue. Blake should have stuck with the stacked bangles and not have that one bracelet on one arm because it clashes with the look. I think Blake looks chic and I don’t normally even like fringe but this dress is hawt.

  16. David says:

    Marie: you are so on point!

  17. Arianna says:

    there’s blake’s stupid fucking dazed face again.

  18. Po says:

    Ok, Blakes accessories are way to much and I think her head is what kind of makes the dress look funny.

  19. ams511 says:

    @ aenflex—I JUST GOT YELLED AT FOR BUSTING OUT LAUGHING AT YOU!!! apparently some people are having meetings…

    “Yes she is an attractive young woman, but it’s not an emergency.”

    bravo. i love comments!

  20. flourpot says:

    Love them both. I like the bangles and I like the fringe on the dress, tho those straps must hurt after a while. And agreed, Beyonce needs to get rid of the faux-hair and go with a short, sexy cut. She’s def got the face for it. And cut those toenails, girl! Jeez!

  21. kelBear says:

    Beyonce looks fantastic!! Blake’s hair looks like she had no one to do it and that was all she could come up with.

  22. Wendy says:

    Beyonce looks amazing! Blake looks the same as always: tits hanging out, fashion victim dress, cheesy pose.

    @ Marie – I can’t speak for anyone else, but I find Blake annoying simply because I see her everywhere lately yet I’ve never seen her ACT. It’s one of those situations where you really feel like an actor is being shoved down your throat. She’s been on the cover of Vogue twice(?) now and she’s being lauded as a fashionista but I think she has pretty bad taste. Also, I really can’t stand women who get fake breasts and then insist on showing them off in every single outfit they wear!

  23. serena says:

    Bey rocks!
    I don’t like Blake at all, and the way she puts her hair much less.

  24. Anon says:

    I think in a different colour, Blake’s could have been beautiful. But the colour just doesn’t seem appropriate for her skin tone. And I really dislike her hair pulled back like that. It REALLY makes her ‘butter’ face stand out.
    Beyonce looks beautiful.

  25. The Hamm is My Dream Man says:

    Vagina drapes! Hee! Now that is all I see when looking at that dress.

    Beyonce would look fine in that dress if she wasn’t insisting upon that silly, “look I have curves” pose with the leg in front and hands emphasizing her hips. she did that stupid Barbie pose for awhile but now she’s toned it down but it still looks awful and it makes the clothes look bunched and wrinkly.

  26. spinner says:

    Beyonce looks soooo good in that dress. Perfect. I don’t think Blake is attractive in the least bit & her boobs are fake. She will not age well.

    That is all.

  27. Laura says:

    I loooooove Blake’s look. Bey looks beautiful too!

  28. Jessi says:

    Blake looks amazing. The dress is gorgeous. Beyonce never looks bad, but for her it’s nothing special. Blake is killing it, I don’t know why people hate her.

  29. Persistent Cat says:

    Like her or the dress or not, Blake looks amazing in the most unforgiving colour out there. That colour (and fabric) shows off every flaw and I don’t see any on her.

    What is tragic is Beyonce’s Farrah Fawcett hair. It looks terrible on her. She’s insanely rich, her weave shouldn’t look budget. I’m distracting by her scalp.

  30. Sakyiwaa says:

    @aenflex, “…not an emergency.” love that comment, lol!
    @ams511. 🙂 love your reaction.
    “apparently some people are having meetings.” i can relate. i’m in a library! i have to giggle with my mouth covered. lol!
    i think they both beautiful though. the dresses are meh to me.

  31. original kate says:

    beyonce wins.

  32. gabs says:

    Beyonce wins because shes not shoving her tAtAs in our face.

    For those who insist Blake is harmless here are reasons to find her annoying.
    Overreaching. This is a TV girl trying to steal parts from Portman, Johannson, Knightley, and Mulligan by shoving her tits out. What has she done to even be in that league?? Also rumors about her sleeping with Harvey Weinstein. Its just disgusting. No class.

    Like Wendy said, Shes everywhere for NO reason. Pictures of her everywhere, all the time even though shes NOT a movie star (as much as she wants to be)or a good actress. Shes just such a tryhard and comes off as desperate. Tired of her being shoved down our throats when there are so many much more talented young actresses out there.

  33. J says:

    @Just Be, wow, thank you. I was about to say that I liked Blake’s dress (besides the hanging fringe) and I didn’t even realize the dress was two parts with midriff showing in the middle. YUCK!! Definately hooker tragic.

    Also I think people saying Blake’s boobs are hanging out are just hating because they don’t like her. This is how the majority of people in Hollywood come out to EVERY event. The same majority of people were defending Katie Perry’s choice of dress for Sesame Street, which to me showed WAY more boob than this dress does.

  34. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I don’t think the problem is Blake Lively’s dress but her face (aka makeup) and hair. Neck down she’s lovely but I did choke on my coffee at the “vagina drapes” comment and now that’s all I can see so thanks for that, but yeah neck down it’s fine, it’s neck up. She’s a pretty girl but lord did they do a number on trying to make her look about 40 years old.

  35. Mika says:

    This weekend I went to see Harry Potter, and before the show there was a preview for Green Lantern. Right after Blake Lively said her first line I BURST out laughing! It was so sooo soooooo BAD! Comically awful, really. But here’s the thing, I don’t hate Blake. I sort of think of her as a female Keanu Reeves. Undeniably beautiful, but as soon as they open their mouth, it’s just funny. Every time I watch Gossip Girl my favourite part is trying to read Blake Lively’s thoughts on set. “Where am I?? What am I doing here?? Riiiigght.. I’m on television. Why are all these people yelling at me?? It’s like… it’s like they want me to pretend to be something I’m not.”

  36. I Choose Me says:

    I give better dressed to Beyonce but I lurve and covet Blake’s shoes.

  37. Bella Mosley says:

    Beyonce without a doubt

  38. Ferguson. says:

    Blake’s dress is horrendus, I hate it… but yet she looks stunning! and that’s why Blake WINS.
    Please ladies, stop the hate.

    ‘Meh’ on Beyonce.

  39. mslewis says:

    They both look lovely and both dresses are DEVINE!! I would kill to be able to wear either one of them!!

    Why are women always comparing one woman to another? It’s just mean. And why all the hate for Blake Lively? She’s just doing the PR thing like every other actress out there. Her photos are all over the place because that is how you become famous. Blake will go to the opening of an envelope to get photograpned. Now that she has lost her dream role (Daisy) to Carey, we will see even more of her at openings. It’s just what young actresses need to do and there’s nothing wrong with it.

    You guys just wait . . . when Blake gets to be as famous as Angelina, you all will just be sooo jealous!!! (Sorry. I laughed at my own joke right there.)

  40. Oi says:

    I think Blake’s hair is the worst part of this whole thing. puff it up a bit, you look like an onion.

  41. Crash2GO2 says:

    Blake shouldn’t wear her hair skinned back like that. She doesn’t have the facial bones for it.

    Beyonce looked gorgeous.

  42. always curious says:

    what the hell are vagina drapes?

  43. shm says:

    You are such a BL hater! She looks FANTASTIC. And, I love B too, but she has definitely looked better. Blake all the way on this one!

  44. Anon73 says:

    Blake is normally looking gorgeous, but this is not her best look. Bleh on the dress, the dress color, the shoes. And WHAT IS UP with those bracelets ? They are too chunky of a look for that dress, IMHO.

    For Beyonce, love her, and think she looks good. Not fab, but good.

  45. C-DUB says:

    Why is Blake’s mouth always half open? Someone needs to tell her that’s not a good look.

    Bey always looks pretty when she calms the big hair and make-up down. Simple is better!

  46. Persistent Cat says:

    The only pictures of Blake I ever see are red carpet or PR events. I don’t see pictures of her coming out of Starbucks or stumbling out of clubs or anything like that. She shows up to the public events because that is what you do in that business. I don’t really understand how she’s “everywhere.”

    Also, she’s not “stealing” parts from other actresses. Normally they audition so they are all competing with each other. No, she’s not the best actress but she’s ambitious and hard working.

    As for the Harvey Weinstein rumour, that’s exactly it, it’s a rumour. The rumour I heard was that she didn’t sleep with him. And even if she did, she is not the first to do that, nor will she be the last.

  47. mollination says:

    Oh my god are you kidding about disliking Blake’s look?! I think she looks so effing incredible….up until the hair/face. I don’t like the harshly pulled back hair and her face can’t pull off “thin” very well, but from the neck down, holy crap!

  48. Meanchick says:

    Both women look great!

  49. Stephy2585 says:

    Sooo…
    Just a thought..
    Anybody think Blake looks a LEEEEETLE bit like a man?
    Just a tidgen…When she’s got her hair slicked like that and she isn’t smiling?

  50. Kim says:

    Someone finally told Blake to stand up straight! These are first pics ever i have seen of her where she is not hunching over! She looks so much better (who wouldnt). Her outfit is a little to stylist for me, lets strategically put 8 bangles on 1 arm, but she looks good & ive never thought she looked good so this is saying alot. At least her chest is covered. I hate those super low v neck cut dresses she wears that make it look like she has no chest.

  51. molly says:

    I like both, but they look like they were attending 2 different events

  52. Mouse says:

    I think that color looks good on Blake, but I also think Carrie Mulligan is much cuter. Blake has a serious case of man-face.

    Beyonce looks bland and boring.

  53. Newbie says:

    I actually think the peach dress could have been fine if it were floor-length. And with different shoes. I like Beyonce’s dress too, but her hair looks hella-AWFUL.

  54. normades says:

    Bey’s look is conventional and boring. Blake’s look is way more fashionable.

    My beef with Blake is all the plastic surgery she’s had. She was much more horsey looking before. And that she’s a bad actress, and overexposed.

    I’ve just always been team Leighton from the beginning. She is prettier and more talented but Blake is the one set for A list?? Makes you wonder why.

  55. loopygorilla says:

    is it me or has blake lost weight?? ive never seen her sooo bony EVER!

    anyway, she is pretty but why does she think or want to be the next meryl streep.

    i mean, is she surrounded by delusional people who tell her that?????

    she talks like she has a mouth full of marbles, and her acting range is 1. “shock horror mouth open”
    2. “deer in the headlights”

    and you know, there is a market for actresses like that. i mean she can replace someone like cameron diaz or drew barrymore cuz they are aging, but girls like blake, jessica alba, jessica biel, shouldnt try soo hard to be the next meryl streep cuz they will never be!

    stop fighting the pretty! you girls are pretty,have nice boobies, you get paid millions to do a movie,shut up already.

    anyway!!! mean girls 2! str8-2-dvd!!! i wanna see that hot mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. Liana says:

    I just don’t think Blake Lively has a pretty face. Banging body, yeah, but pretty face, no. If not finding someone attractive makes me a “jelus h8er” so be it.

  57. otherworld says:

    I’ve seen Blake’s dress on the run the runway and it was actually lengthened for her, on the model it hit right below the knee and its longer on Blake.Elizabeth Banks wore this same dress and it was widely praised, I think it looks gorgeous on Blake too, I really don’t know what you, or any of your followers, have against her.

  58. kelly says:

    I think they both look whack for different reasons.

    Flesh-coloured people should not wear flesh-coloured dresses (wow, I just realised how racist the term ‘flesh coloured’ is!! I mean for white hoes here, obviously).

    And rocking white cling is a very risky thing. Not if youre trying to look compressed, uncomfortable & spanxified, but I don’t think that’s the look she was going for. And jeez, B, stop flipping your (or whoever’s that is) hair, dammit! Would look so much nicer with a straight, plain blow out.

  59. Kenny says:

    Blake’s beautiful ,prettiest girl on GG.Beyonce is fab too

  60. Sil says:

    Blake’s hairdo is just fug.

  61. Michael says:

    loves it! beyonce is so stupid.

  62. Anti-icon says:

    Beyonce looks better.
