Blake Lively: "I Have Insecurities Like Any Girl"

Spending an afternoon out with the girls, Blake Lively was spotted grabbing lunch and shopping with her sister Robyn in Beverly Hills, CA on Tuesday (July 24).

The 24-year-old starlet looked perfect for the warm California weather in a yellow and white tie-dye maxi dress paired with a jean jacket floppy sun hat as the trio tried to steer clear of the shutterbugs.

Even women as gorgeous as the "Gossip Girl" suffer from occasional insecurities.

In a recent interview with the Daily Express, Miss Lively revealed how she stays confident saying, “Walking the red carpet is scary so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe - someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence.”

The blonde beauty went on to add, "Cooking makes me feel sexy. I think there's something so sensual about it: the smells, the touches, the flavours, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you are doing it with someone you love, creating that together, I think it's really attractive. Italian food is my favorite."
