Mermaid Musings: Blake Lively Shines in Scintillating Sequins
The green carpet at The Landmark in New York City was awash in oceanic elegance last night as Blake Lively arrived at the launch event for Tiffany & Co.’s new Titan collection with Pharrell Williams. The Gossip Girl alumna embodied modern mermaid magnificence in a shimmering teal gown adorned with iridescent sequins that glinted like sunlight dancing on shallow waters.
Lively’s mesmerizing look was an avant-garde aquatic fantasy brought to life. The dress, a creation from the celebrated ateliers of Valentino, featured a curve-skimming pencil silhouette sculpted from stretchy fabric encrusted with thousands of shining blue and green sequins that appeared to ripple and undulate with her every movement. The sleeveless design highlighted Lively’s toned arms, while the mermaid hem provided an alluring glimpse of her endlessly statuesque legs.
Ensuring her sea-inspired ensemble made waves, the 35-year-old blonde bombshell ascended to new stylish heights in a pair of Gucci’s Mallory sandals. The covetable heels complemented her look with their pale blue suede uppers, which were lavished with sparkling crystal embellishments along the toe straps and slingbacks. Supported by soaring 4-inch stilettos, the sandals lent a vibrant punch of complementary color and lent an air of old Hollywood sophistication.
Lively’s styling was equally oceanic, with her signature golden locks shaped into tumbling mermaid waves that cascaded over one shoulder in an effortless display of beachy texture. A sweep of shimmering eyeshadow, flushed cheeks, and a coral-hued lip completed her radiant makeup look. She accessorized with a dazzling array of Tiffany & Co. jewels, including a breathtaking diamond pendant necklace coiled around one wrist like a jeweled sea serpent.
For beauty, Lively looked to Hollywood’s most glamorous Sirens. Tousled blonde waves spilled over one shoulder in a throwback to Veronica Lake. A punchy coral lip added a refreshing pop of color, while shimmering turquoise lids mirrored the dress’s vivacious palette. A miraculously luminous complexion grounded the dreamy mermaid narrative with an angelic glow.
The starlet joined fellow A-listers like Gabrielle Union and Anitta at the splashy soirée, which unveiled Tiffany’s nature-inspired jewelry collaboration with Grammy winner Pharrell Williams. The extravagant exhibition is divided into three sections representing land, sky and sea—the last of which Lively wholeheartedly channeled as the reigning mermaid queen of the night.
