Blake Lively is Louboutin shoe namesake

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has had a Christian Louboutin shoe named after her.

The actress, who is a friend of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, told Live with Regis and Kelly that the gesture was a great honour.

She said: "That was insane, it's like my greatest accomplishment." She then joked: "I want to sleep with [the shoe] under my pillow every night."

Discussing her love of fashion, Lively said: "Getting to go to couture fashion week is great and getting to meet Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano and Christian Louboutin is so exciting. It's like being a little girl and looking at these designers saying, 'Can you imagine one day seeing all of those ball gowns?'

"[Wintour] said, 'What design houses do you love?' and I was like, 'I love Chanel and Dior', and she was like, 'OK, we're going for dinner with Karl and John'. That was insane."

She then added that she had not lost sight of her priorities in life, explaining: "There are a few things in life that matter above all else - your family, your friends, your loved ones. But everything else comes and goes - especially in this business where everything is so of the moment."
