Be a lady in red like Blake Lively

It was Blake Lively's time to shine on the red carpet when she stepped out to promote her new film 'The Age of Adaline'.

Blake opted for an unusual number for the appearance in New York City though, selecting a Monique L'Hullier dress from the fall 2012 ready-to-wear collection.

While the deep scarlet hue suited the actress perfectly, we weren't so convinced on the dress' fussy design...lace and leather and ruffles? It was a little overboard for us.

But that doesn't mean to say we aren't fans of the designer who turns out some stunning pieces, but this dress was just a little behind the times - Blake should've gone for something more current. Monique L'Hullier has some fab pieces for this season available at Neiman Marcus - right.

If you're loving the hue and the halterneck design but perhaps not the designer price, then see our highlighted options in the carousel below, for some fuss-free, easy to wear pieces that we can all afford.

The blonde beauty starred in the CW hit series, set in the Upper East Side of New York City, for six seasons, from 2007 until its series finale in 2012.

The Savages actress, who was only three years old when Jason's show premiered on TV, wore a jean jacket and sported shorter locks in the throwback snap.

Jason, who rose to heartthrob status in the nineties, grinned widely in the snap, as the young Blake threw her arms around him.
