Blake Lively pals around with Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has some fashionable new friends.

The actress has revealed that while shooting the hit series in Paris recently she rubbed shoulders with fashion world royalty.

"I was speaking with Anna Wintour and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said 'I love Chanel' and she said, 'You should come with me to the show,'" Lively said.

"I also said I loved Dior. She said 'OK, well I'll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we'll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards,'" the 23-year-old recounted to Marie Claire.

"So I went to dinner with Karl Lagerfeld and we got to spend a lot of priceless time together."

Lively says she has been passionate about style and creating her own unique look.

"I've always loved fashion," she explained. "That's why I don't use a stylist. Number one, it's such an expression of self."
