Blake Lively Covers Glamour July 2011

She's currently caught up in a headline-dominating faux nude photo debacle, but Blake Lively wasn't shy in showing off her gorgeousness in the July 2011 issue of Glamour.

The "Gossip Girl" actress sat down for an interview given by singer gal pal Florence Welch, as she opened up about topics such as prepping for red carpet events and her penchant to play darker roles.

Highlights from Miss Lively's interview with Glamour are as follows. For the entire interview, be sure to visit Glamour.

On preparing for events: ?I like it to be easy. I don?t feel like I have to do so much with hair and makeup, because I?m the mannequin for these beautiful clothes, so I never want to do anything too distracting. Most of the time, I put my hair in a ballerina bun, and I take it down and it?s wavy, and then I leave. I feel shy when people are fussing on me. And my diet of choice before events is a chicken potpie from Tea & Sympathy, because they never have enough food at these things.?

On not having a stylist: "You know, my mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design. And then Gossip Girl completely blew open the door to fashion for me. I?d go to fashion shows and call my publicist and say, ?Can I wear that?? I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better. And once I was told it was time to get one, I thought: This is one of my favorite hobbies! And I?m going to pay someone to steal my hobby from me? That?s a terrible idea."

On being drawn to darker roles: "I?m drawn to those roles because [they?re so] rare, especially for someone my age. Women in film are often the prizes for the men and nowhere near as layered or complex as the men get to be. My character in The Town was written for a 37-year-old. I had to fight for that role. But also, I?m not this super-tortured soul, so it?s fun to be able to go there.?
