For the November 2009 issue of Nylon, you’ll see Blake Lively on the cover as well as in the magazine’s editorial pages. The Blake Lively Nylon cover and editorial feature the Gossip Girl starlet sporting a wide variety—almost unrelated—series of styles including a fringed, rocker-esque jacket, cutesy denim vest, super glittery cardigan, and a lacy romper (I’m guessing the editorial wasn’t themed).
Inside the magazine, Lively, discusses her prankster ways, riding elephants in Thailand, and how she relates to Serena, her Gossip Girl character.
