In the midst of a heatwave, when all we want to do is whip on a patterned skirt and take overly-long lunch breaks in the local park that may or may not get us fired, it’s about time we had some A-list fashion inspiration to inspire our much-needed summer wardrobes.
Fortunately, you can always rely on Blake Lively – fashion icon du jour – to give us a helping hand in the fashion department.

In a post on Instagram, the mother-of-two showed off her shimmery £1,220 Gucci rainbow skirt, which she paired with a sold-out Marc Jacobs rainbow jumper and a matching pair of £525 Christian Louboutin pumps.
Blake 1 - 0 Big Bird.
The star admitted in the post that she was ‘geeking out’ while standing next to the Sesame Street yellow canary, and revealed she was made fun of in elementary school for looking like Big Bird because she was ‘too tall’ and had ‘yellow hair.’
‘Here’s to making best buddies with the things that once hurt you,’ she sweetly wrote, days after revealing she’ has a side job as an interior designer.
Last week, Blake gave a sneak-peek into her colourful ensemble on Instagram.
In the clip, she can be seen wearing the Jacobs white rainbow-printed jumper while singing and dancing with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar and more of the Sesame Street posse.
‘Finally. I have friends,’ she captioned the post.
Blake, you know what real friends do? They lend out their Gucci skirts to fashion obsessed writers in the UK.
