While it's unclear if Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling are dating (we'd put our money on yes), the actress is definitely the new face of Chanel handbags!

"The Gossip Girl beauty will star in a new ad campaign for Chanel," E! reports. "She was just in Paris shooting for the fashion house's handbag collection."

"The ads featuring Blake should launch early next year."

Blake's been close to Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld for some time, so this isn't really a surprise. She's also young, stunning, and as fashion-forward as it gets.

In addition to starring on Gossip Girl, she'll appear alongside Ryan Reynolds in The Green Lantern, so she's got exposure going for her. Chanel picked a winner.

We're happy for Blake landing her first major fashion campaign and can't wait to see the ads ourselves. Somehow it's hard to imagine this is the last for the beauty.
