Blake Lively famously doesn’t have a stylist. Any time she hits the red carpet, whether it’s in a smoking hot Marvel unitard (complete with a matching Hadid sister) or her still-talked-about fashion tour de suit for A Simple Favor, her fans race to the comments section to remind everyone that, in the words of Julia Fox, she actually did it herself.
When the newly minted beauty mogul isn’t channeling Hollywood glamour at a premiere or cheering at the Super Bowl in a tracksuit, she must be busy because, as any fashion pro will tell you, styling a press tour is work. Hard work. Back-breaking, mind-numbing, lugging a suitcase up the stairs and calling FedEx for the sixth time at 3 a.m. work. As such, I’ve always viewed her purported lack of fashion help with a healthy amount of skepticism.
But according to Tab Vintage Founder Alexis Novak, she’s the real deal. Novak, who runs her designer archive business from L.A., helped source some of the best looks from the It Ends With Us floral fashion extravaganza, but it was Lively who had the imagination to bring them to life. “We sent her options, and she made selections,” explains the vintage collector. “We did not style her; she is very talented and creative, and the looks were all her own vision.”
