Sources Say Blake Lively Is The New Face Of Chanel Handbags

Remember when we spotted Blake Lively and Karl Lagerfeld together in Paris over the summer, and guessed (nay, prayed!) that he might be filming a cameo on Gossip Girl? That little wish sadly never came true, but there may be an even better one being fulfilled in its place!

E! online has an exclusive report that says Blake is the new face of Chanel handbags! According to Marc Malkin, "The Gossip Girl beauty will star in a new ad campaign for Chanel. I'm told she was just in Paris shooting for the French fashion house's handbag collection. The ads should launch early next year, the source says."

Blake's been buddying up to Karl for a while now, from her front row appearance at the haute couture show to her many Chanel red carpet moments to their aforementioned meeting in Paris, so this one strikes us as kind of a no-brainer. Plus she's young, stunning, as fashion-forward as it gets, and about to be a major movie star (she's starring alongside Ryan Reynolds in The Green Lantern), so we think the choice is pretty much perfect. What do you say, dolls? Are you happy to hear Blake is reportedly snagging her first major fashion campaign? Do you think this is just the beginning of her career as a professional beautiful person? What do you think of the match between Chanel and the Gossip Girl? Discuss!
