Now that I have gotten a closer look at Blake Lively’s braid from the Emmy Awards, it was totally done rough and messy. From far away, I couldn’t tell if it was textured or just sloppy. It was bugging me because I figured it had to be done intentionally. I mean, come on. It’s Blake! It’s the Emmys! When I saw this picture, I guess I felt better? I’m not sure I love it though. On one hand it makes it cooler than just a sleek, perfect braid. That would have come off very juvenile. But I feel like they could have executed the textured braid better.
I watched Gossip Girl last night. It was meh. I think the only thing that could keep it interesting is to have Serena go completely off the rails. I only watch an episode here and there, but that might keep me tuning in. That show is too safe.
I don’t really like Blake’s braid. I love her and her hair looks great when she has long messy waves, but that slicked back ‘do doesn’t really suit her.
I don’t like that color on her either. She looks better in black, blue or white.
Anyway, she’s gorgeous so she can pull pretty much anything off.
Leila, I agree with your whole comment!
I liked it better before I saw the braid. Maybe if it was in a simple, sleek up do? I know the stylist was going for textured, but I think he got off the bus at “braid she slept on”. The fact that half of it is fake probably doesn’t help. BTW I love this site!
Thanks, Chris!! And I agree about her hair. :)
