Yes, this picture is rather blown out -- they look like they're five minutes from being uploaded to Instagram -- but you can really see the details of the erstwhile Ms Legsly's dress here:

It is Gucci, and I think it really works on her -- the color is lovely and it's delightfully shiny without being Vegas-level spangly. Sure, there's a lot of leg (the dress as originally designed presumably had a couple more inches) but how would we recognize her without them? I'm going to use this to open up a conversation, however. Ahem: Blake Lively is the new face of Gucci's new fragrance, Premiere, which is a very nice gig for her -- and she looks great in[ the otherwise somewhat typically ridiculous commercial](https://www.justjared.com/2012/08/02/blake-lively-gucci-premiere-commercial/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Leighton Meester, on the other hand, is the face of Vera Wang's fragrance, which doesn't seem as prestigious,[ if only because the ads make it seem marketed to a younger crowd](https://www.wetpaint.com/gossip-girl/video/leighton-meester-is-a-damsel-in-a-dress-for-vera-wang-lovestruck-commercial?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (and also because COME ON, VERA WANG. You appeared in *Keeping Up with the Kardashians*? GET A GRIP.) Blake has done a ton of high profile movies. Leighton was in that wretched Adam Sandler movie that made me go into such a blackout rage every time I saw the previews that I don't even want to look up its name. And YET I would argue that Leighton is -- both on *Gossip Girl*, and judging by the underrated *Monte Carlo* (I know) -- the better actress. So what's the deal there? Do we think she needs a better agent? Is Blake's smoking hotness just blinding people? It would not be the first time. I want to know what you think is going on.
