Blake for Chanel, Leighton for Missoni: What do Ya think?

I think na, rather, baliktad. :P They've announced this before and even launched the ads a while back. BUT I STILL THINK BALIKTAD PA RIN!!!!

I think Leighton should have done Chanel while Blake is more Missoni. Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this? But I think Blake seems to fit modelling for American designers more than European ones(yes, that even inlcludes Missoni). I could seriously see her face on Michael Kors ads.

Leighton is classically beautiful which I think is perfect for Chanel because judging by their older ads,they usually pick women with timeless good looks and I think Blake is the opposite of that. Leighton even looks the part of a stylish Parisian: dark brown hair, slim physique and khol usually rimming her fabulous brown eyes. She's 5'5, too which is actually the typical height of most French women. I could only imagine Leighton wearing red lipstick and a black gown modelling for Chanel. Missoni just doesn't do it for her although I find this ad cute.



Blake, on the other hand, looks like a surfer chick forced to model for these bags whose price tags are equivalent to 5 surf boards. Don't get me wrong; I love Blake Lively but I think her scoring a gig all comes down to the fact that she has luck ala Serena Van Der Woodsen and her BFF is Anna Wintour. But being blonde and 5 foot 10 also has its advantages: it was reported that Karl Lagerfeld really liked Blake cause "She's a kind of American dream girl," a source closed. Gorgeous blonde hair? Check. Enviable long legs? Check. Girl next door looks and persona? Check. Maybe dear Karl knows what he's talking about when he means "American Dream Girl" but I still detest her starring in the ads



Apparently, even the Chanel USA office seems to think she's the wrong choice, too. But you know, if your opinion is up against Lagerfeld's, then punk, you'll lose. You just will. And that loss will be more painful than having your ribs broken on WWE. Maybe not but you know what I mean

Maybe I'm just judging Blake and Leighton by their characters on Gossip Girl. In real life, Blake seems to be more fashion forward while Leighton is the kind of person who doesn't really care about trends but is still fab, nonetheless. So in my mind, Blair Waldorf(Leighton's character) is the perfect choice for Chanel and Serena Van Der Woodsen(portrayed by Blake) will be a showstopper in Missoni. O diba? ;)
