Blake Lively’s Newlywed Style: From Sexy to Sedate

There’s no doubt that Blake Lively is stunning, and since her wedding day, we’ve noticed a distinctive glow about the star. But we’ve also noticed something else: she’s been dressing in a decidedly more mature way since tying the knot.

Once so known for baring her majorly enviable bod at every chance she got (in teeny outfits like this aqua romper, left) that the GoFugYourself.com girls gave her a nickname about it, the star’s most recent looks have been much more buttoned-up than bodacious.

Lately, we’ve seen Lively wearing outfits befitting her new role as the wife on a country estate, including checked jackets, bucket hats, a very equestrian look and, most recently, this belted plaid day dress.

She’s still a total knockout, but we can’t help wondering if settling down in suburbia with her 36-year-old husband has aged the starlet’s style a bit.

Tell us: Do you like Lively’s more mature look?

We at PEOPLE StyleWatch spend a lot of time thinking about celebrity hair: how they maintain it, how they style it and how to fake it on our own heads. And we find that there are certain stars we keep coming back to time and again because their hair is just so darn healthy-looking.

Jessica Biel has mastered the art of long, loose waves. Jennifer Aniston‘s hair deserves its own ad campaign and autobiography. Zoë Saldana wins for glossiest, richest color. Sofia Vergara‘s tresses are thick and luxurious, and Blake Lively‘s lovely locks really speak for themselves.

What Is Blake Lively Gifting to Friends and Family This Year?

According to Blake Lively, the most important kind of gift is “something that lasts,” she says. So what does that mean to her? This year, it’s fragrance.

“A fragrance is something my father would always give to my mother — we all within our family would buy each other different fragrances,” she says in a new promotional video for Gucci. “It tells a story — it’s each different time period in your life. It’s a nice identifier.”

However, the actress — and face of Gucci Première women’s fragrance — says it’s “a selfish gift,” as well. “It’s so comforting when you’re near someone you love and you recognize their smell — it’s just like, ‘Ahh, that’s you,’” she explains. “You get so much pleasure out of the gift as well.”

This holiday season, the newlywed plans to give her mom a bottle of Gucci Première (shhhh!) — though she’s not exactly excited to share her new signature scent.

“I’m going to have to fight with her,” the starlet jokes. “The problem is my mom and my sisters and I, we all like the same fragrance, so we’re all going to be wearing Gucci Première. If you were blindfolded in a room, you’re not going to be able to tell us apart.” Ryan Reynolds, you’ve been warned … Tell us: What gifts are you most excited to give this year?

When asked about his favorite fashion moment in the series finale, Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman has two instant answers.

“Serena descending the staircase in her gilded Georges Chakra wedding gown is a moment to remember forever,” he tells PEOPLE. “And Chuck and Blair (in Elie Saab) finally in wedding blues.”

Throughout its six seasons, the show offered many major style memories, though Daman finds it hard to pick just a few standouts.

If 2013 is anything like the end of 2012, it’s certainly going to be a stylish year: This week, ladies in red dominated the carpet, while stars in super-sexy minis also had a major moment. But since gowns with interesting backs are gaining popularity, one certain staid style of dress is on its way out.

Up: Red, red and more red: Red is always a popular color choice during the holidays, but this week the shade was taken to a whole new level as countless stars wore it head-to-toe — literally — on lips, dresses and shoes. Anne Hathaway, Kirsten Dunst, Taylor Swift and Jaime King donned red pouts; Amanda Seyfried chose the hue for her lips and shoes; and Blake Lively, Lena Dunham, Freida Pinto and Megan Fox slipped into red-hot frocks.

Monday night’s episode of Gossip Girl brought all the best the show has to offer: drama, deviousness and some seriously great fashion.

‘Gossip Girl’ Season Six Premiere Fashion Recap

Oct/09/2012 at 03:30 PM ET

Between Serena going by “Sabrina” and claiming she grew up in Wisconsin and Rufus and Ivy’s hook-up (ew?!), Gossip Girl‘s season six premiere’s plot was as unrealistic and all over the place as ever. But story line aside, the clothes (unsurprisingly) surpassed our expectations. Here are the top four style moments from last night’s episode:

1. “Sabrina’s” wedding dress: The last time we saw Serena, she was passed out on a train to nowhere. After not hearing from her all summer, the gang goes on a hilarious search-and-rescue mission. When they find Serena (who’s now going by “Sabrina” for reasons we still don’t quite get) she’s not only alive and well, she’s attending a wedding with her new millionaire boyfriend, Steven. And Serena/Sabrina must be super-smitten with her new beau because she color-coordinated her very low-cut yellow-and-white Jenny Packham gown with his pocket square. Now that’s love, people!
