‘Gossip Girl’ star Blake Lively has been confirmed as the official ambassador for Chanel’s new Mademoiselle Handbag line.
The 23-year old star will appear in a campaign photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. The ads are slated to break in April in magazines.
“She’s a kind of American dream girl,” said Lagerfeld, lauding Lively’s spontaneous nature, freshness and what he described as natural star quality. “I think she will become a great actress.”
“She’s full of life,” the designer added.
While talking about the shoot, Lagerfeld said, “it went like a dream; It was an easy job because everyone fell in love with her,”
For Blake this is like a dream come true. She said, “How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming? It’s like a dream come true. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.”
The bag will retail from about 1,500 to 2,500 euros, or about $2,000 to $3,300 at current exchange, with models in exotic skins topping out at 23,000 euros, or $30,600. The line features a wide range of colors, finishes and materials, including jersey cloth, satin, calfskin, lambskin, alligator and shagreen.
“Though I am the face of it, I will carry it like every girl,” Lively said of the bag. “I will always feel it’s more than just a purse. It’s a quilted case full of lipstick, love letters and the dreams and possibilities that I have always felt every time I see that beautiful ‘CC.’ ”
