Gossip Girl Blake Lively Tapped As New Face Of Chanel

It's great being Blake Lively these days. The 23-year-old actress has just been tapped as the new face of Chanel, which means, she will star in the company's big spring advertising campaign for their much sought-after handbags. Check out the blonde beauty following a recent NYC photo shoot. And look at the hot 'double-c' hand bag she's clutching!

It's quite an honor when the French fashion house of Chanel selects you as one of their ambassadors. And Blake Lively is sitting pretty amongst an elite group of celebrity Chanel representatives......Keira Knightley......Vanessa Paradis......Nicole Kidman......Audrey Tatou, and the list goes on.

We've seen the star of television's Gossip Girl being courted, for quite some time now, by the legendary designer himself, Karl Lagerfeld. She has been wearing gorgeous Chanel gowns on the red carpet and been present in the front row at Chanel couture shows in Paris last summer.

In addition, Blake has also become a movie star and appeared on two US Vogue covers so far. Even shoe god, Christian Louboutin, adores her. And she's not even 25 yet.

Congratulations, 'Serena van der Woodsen.'
