BLAKE LIVELY: HER ALLURE PHOTO SHOOT

For her cover shoot with Norman Jean Roy at Alder Manor, a historic, otherworldly estate in Yonkers, New York, Blake Lively introduced herself to every single person on the set, played with a caretaker's dog, and requested ice cream for everyone. See outtakes from the shoot here, and for more photos and the profile "The Anti-Starlet," pick up the October issue of Allure, on newsstands September 21.

Lively arrived at the location in the middle of a scorching day. Despite the heat, she was chipper and cheerful, wearing a Rag & Bone blazer, a Topshop skirt, and Chanel pumps, and carrying a Chanel bag.
