Blake Lively Wore the Dress Trend That French Girls Love for a Day Date in Paris
When in Paris, dress like the locals do. For Blake Lively, that means throwing on an easy and elegant floral dress. While in the City of Lights this week, the Gossip Girl actress was spotted in a very French white floral dress with matching sneakers while holding hands with Ryan Reynolds on the way to a gourmet lunch at La Poule au Jar restaurant.
Lively wore a long-sleeved button-down dress from BA&SH, a distinctly Parisian label started by Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief. She added a navy pinstripe duster, a magenta Chanel crossbody bag, and gingham Nike Air Force 1s. While BA&SH has sold out of the exact dress Lively wore, there's no shortage of other options for floral dresses if you're looking to re-create the actress' Parisian-date outfit. See and shop some of my favorites below.
