Blake Lively just gave us another reason to go minimalistic this season.
Taking a short break from the red carpet after her flower-filled summer of style, The It ends with us actress, 37, returned to the CFDA Fashion Awards on Oct. 28 to present — and took the phrase “dressed to impress” to new heights.
Lively opted for a more understated – but no less gorgeous than usual – look, choosing an all-white combination. She wore a white Michael Kors collection dress with a cinched waist and thigh slit, topped with a white jacket. She completed the look with crystal-encrusted shoes and sparkling Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
