She may have made her biggest headlines as a Gossip Girl, Mrs Deadpool and a wannabe Martha Stewart, but prepare to double-take on Blake Lively with two knockout performances in Woody Allen’s Cafe Society and great white thriller, The Shallows.
Blake Lively is explaining the reason for her bare feet. It has something to do with arriving into Cannes for the film festival only last night, and missing luggage, and airline pyjamas, and needing to borrow a sweater off a friend. Total Film nods understandably though the precise details are far from clear and it remains something of a mystery how the blonde curls that cascade to her waist are so perfect and the golden gown that she models is so very dazzling and yet her feet are unclad. “The barefoot interview,” she laughs, settling down in a hotel suite with a glorious view of the Croisette. “I should have worn my airline pyjamas – that would have been a whole new look.”
Lively, of course, knows a thing or two about fashion. Part of the reason she is in Cannes is to fulfill her duties as a L’Oréal spokesperson, a gig that requires her attendance at three premieres, two photo calls, a luncheon and a dinner. She takes the L’Oréal slogan – “Because I’m worth it” – very seriously, and stresses the brand’s partnering with such iconic, sociopolitically engaged women as Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon in its effort to promote self-worth among women. But she also has the not inconsiderable honour of being one of the primary players in the festival’s opening film: Cafe Society, a romantic dramedy set in ’30s Hollywood and directed by some whippersnapper named Woody Allen.
