Gossip Girl beauty Blake Lively has apparently been handpicked by Karl Lagerfield to front Chanel's new handbag campaign, following in the footsteps of Lily Allen, Diane Kruger and Nicole Kidman.
After months of speculation, the 23-year-old actress is set to appear in a new advertising campaign for the mega-brand's highly sought-after Mademoiselle handbag line.
According to reports, Lagerfield shot the starlet himself on the iconic staircase in Coco Chanel's Rue de Cambon studio in Paris.
And if that wasn't enough to make Blake feel like THE golden girl of the moment, then news that he described her as "a kind of American dream girl" sure will.
"[The shoot] was an easy job because everyone fell in love with her," he said.
