Blake Lively is back on the party scene in sparkling vintage Chanel and $39K earrings

Blake Lively attended a New York event celebrating jeweller Brent Neale’s holiday collection, wearing a vintage Chanel dress. Her appearance marks a return to the party scene after a period largely away from public life amid recent legal battles.

The navy sequined minidress, designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel’s autumn/winter 1994 collection, was first worn on the runway by Christy Turlington. Lively paired it with Brent Neale diamond bow earrings priced at $38,850, clear Christian Louboutin heels and a Chanel bag listed at $6,400; the complete original dress is being resold for $10,300.
