Blake Lively has been unveiled as the newest face of L'Oreal Paris, and with beauty and hair like hers it's no wonder.

Since her marriage to Ryan Reynolds we've not heard much from the blonde actress but with a new film role under her belt (The Age of Adaline) and this announcement, she's making a welcome return to the spotlight.

Blake joins a whole host of beautiful ladies as the face of the beauty brand, which includes; Lara Stone (another newbee), Gwen Stefani, Cheryl Cole, Freida Pinto, Julianne Moore, Jane Fonda, Fan Bingbing, Eva Longoria, Liya Kebede, Inès de La Fressange, Sonam Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Doutzen Kroes.

What's more exciting is we can expect to see Blake at Cannes 2014 as an ambassdor for the brand. Let's hope she brings it with plenty of Couture.

Blake Lively is announced as the newest face of L'Oreal Paris

Blake is obviously excited by her new role, at the announcement yesterday evening in Shangri-La Hotel Paris, France she said: “I’m thrilled and honoured to join the incredible women who represent L’Oréal Paris. I grew up with the inspiration of their message, ‘We’re worth it’; what an important value to instil in women.”

As always, Blake looked beautiful at the announcement wearing a stunning Balmain dress with, of course, Christian Louboutin shoes.

The blue-and-white off-the-shoulder dress with boucle houndstooth also features a pleated flounced hem detail and chain trim belt detail. The Spring 2014 dress is just gorgeous.

She paired it with nude pumps, which featured a crystal heel, and they do an incredible job of making her long legs look even longer.

A pop of pink via her lips and gorgeous flowing tresses completed this look. It's easy to see why she is the newest face of L'Oreal and we already can't wait to see the campaign images.
