The Gossip Girl actress looked like a boho princess in this couture gown

Blake Lively was a poster child for boho chic in the 2010s and her red carpet looks are no exception. She wore an array of ethereal gowns in various hues, but it was a certain bridal gown that topped them all. 

The actress, 36, was seen at the Los Angeles premiere in 2011 alongside her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 47, looking like a boho bride in a stunning white gown that came from Chanel's 2009 Spring Haute Couture line that was shown on the Paris runway among a line-up of other beautiful bridal-worthy gowns.

Blake walked onto the red carpet wearing the designer gown with a bateau neckline and cap sleeves adorned with applique white flowers and dainty beading for a fairytale look. 

The embroidered gown featured a fitted bodice with a dropped waistline to look like a mini dress, but from the thigh down, the garment had a whimsical sheer skirt with beaded flowers that climbed upwards from the hem and trailed along the ground.

In true 2010s fashion, the actress styled the stunning garment with stacked rhinestone-adorned bangles on one wrist and a pair of matching silver rhinestone-covered heels.

Adding to the boho aesthetic in a big way was Blake's hairstyle. The star of the upcoming movie wore her sandy-hued hair in a messy low side ponytail partially styled in a loose fishtail braid and pulled together with a gold flower made from diamantés.

Her makeup was glowing with a shimmery pink-toned eyeshadow blended across her lids and a gold shade along her lower lashline. Her complexion looked lit from within with bronzed cheeks and completing the look was her rosy pink lipgloss. 

The couture Chanel gown was styled on the runway in a more traditional bridal fashion with a royal-worthy white fascinator made from fabric shaped like white leaves and a pair of peep-toe white heels.

Chanel's all-white collection that year also consisted of a feathered dress styled with trousers and an Avant Garde headpiece, as well as a white sequinned co-ord with a dramatic train.

Blake herself attended a Chanel event in the same year wearing a second bridal white look. The star was spotted at an intimate dinner in her honor hosted by Chanel at La Grenouille in New York City wearing a shiny ribbed mini dress with unusual organza ruffle detailing on the hips and around the neck. 

The dress was styled with a pair of white satin heels that had a pointe toe to look like ballet slippers and a quilted Chanel handbag. We also can't forget the textured white mini dress she wore to the Chanel Resort dinner for the launch of Chanel's Collection Croisiere 2012 in May 2011 which had her looking like an elegant swan.
