Wednesday night at the Clearview Chelsea Cinemas for NYWIFT‘s 10th annual Designing Women awards. 

The honorees included Gossip Girl’s hairstylist Jennifer Johnson, makeup artist Marianne Skiba (Law and Order), and costume designer Donna Zakowska (John Adams). While the awards were well deserved there was certainly more fuss over Blake Lively’s presence as a presenter than was given to any of the honorees. 

The ladylike Lively sported TopShop shoes, a Michael Kors bag, and vintage earrings. She said her dress was BCBG but you never saw it because she never took off her Burberry trench.  Cute jacket but what’s up with that Blake?
