Like an old-Hollywood screen goddess, dripping the in iciest diamonds, Blake Lively posed on the stairs of the freshly redesigned flagship Van Cleef and Arpels store in New York City yesterday.

Once the vintage fur had come off, the stunning beauty of the Marchesa dress was fully revealed, and we marvel once more at how gorgeous Blake actually is. Look, I'm not suggesting she is a fun girl with a lovely personality. She may well be. But I can look at her and think that this is a girl I would want to wear my clothes, if I ever made any. Or diamond jewellery, if I ever had any.
