DUBAI: Hollywood star Blake Lively has been showcasing Arab creations in her recent Instagram posts.
In one image, she was seen wearing rings by US Egyptian designer Jacquie Aiche, each featuring designs and gemstones reflecting the designer’s signature bohemian-luxe aesthetic.
For that look, Lively also accessorized with two gold bangles – one from the Italian label Wagner Eleuteri and the other from the US luxury house Tiffany & Co. She completed the ensemble with a gold chain necklace from New York-based designer Brent Neale, featuring a nature-inspired pendant.
For her outfit, Lively paired a white crop top from the Canadian retailer Aritzia with a light green vest from Shop Archive. She opted for patterned pants from the New York-based independent fashion brand Tanya Taylor, featuring a mix of floral and abstract designs in earthy tones. The look was finished with strappy heels from Aquazzura and a textured floral bag from Chanel.
In another post, Lively sported a cashmere cardigan from her friend Gigi Hadid’s clothing brand, Guest in Residence. Hadid, who is of US, Dutch and Palestinian descent, designed the camel-colored cardigan that Lively draped over her arms. She paired it with a nude dress by Michael Kors, featuring delicate lace detailing and a scalloped hemline.
Lively completed the outfit with white pointed-toe heels by Christian Louboutin, providing a subtle contrast to the neutral tones. For jewelry, she chose earrings from Brent Neale.
This is not the first time Lively has worn Hadid’s designs. Earlier this year, she was spotted in New York wearing the Stripe Crew, a sweater with orange, yellow and black stripes.
Recently, Lively and Hadid appeared together on the red carpet at the “Deadpool & Wolverine” premiere in New York City.
Hadid wore a yellow bandeau top paired with a matching mustard yellow skirt featuring a knee-length cut and flowing silhouette, while Lively opted for a striking, form-fitting jumpsuit in a deep burgundy-red shade with black floral detailing.
Her outfit included an off-the-shoulder neckline and long sleeves, with intricate lace-like patterns running down the bodice and legs.
