Blake Livelys first ad for Gucci perfume: beautiful or too nose-job-y?

Publish date: 2024-04-23

I was surprised that more people weren’t interested in Blake Lively’s latest endorsement deal. Less than two weeks ago, the announcement came: Blake Lively got her second major endorsement gig. Her first was for Chanel (obviously!) – she represented (represents?) Chanel purses, and she was handpicked for the gig by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. Now Blake also represents a brand new perfume – Gucci Première. Blake got to call the shots too – she asked for (“demanded”) Nicolas Winding Refn (director of Drive) to film the commercial. Which I can’t wait to see, because it will be interesting to see if Blake is a better actress in a perfume commercial than she is in films and television. I’m starting to think of Blake like I used to think of Megan Fox – a glorified music video girl who just overshot her mark.

That was all just some tangent, though. The header is the brand-new ad for the perfume. Thoughts? It’s very…eh. I like the dress in the ad – too bad they’re not trying to sell me the dress. Is the image striking? Not really. It just seems blah and basic. It’s not Blake’s fault, I don’t think. She looks pretty, she’s giving good face and face-reflection, although I think the face-reflection (full-on) is prettier than her profile. The weirdness of angle means that your eye (my eye) comes to rest on her profile… namely, her nose. Namely, her nose JOB. Remember vintage Blake and her perfectly fine (although slightly larger) nose?

I’m sorry, but Blake’s nose is man-made, and I’m not crazy about some (obviously) sculpted nose job being the centerpiece of a multi-million dollar ad campaign. I know I’m nit-picking, but all I did was stare at her fake nose for three full minutes when I first saw the ad.

I’m also including some additional photos of Blake on Friday. I have those shoes in a different color.
