Alexis Bledel is Poppy Pretty

Alexis Bledel is Poppy Pretty

Alexis Bledel and JustJared.com help Coach launch the Poppy handbag collection at Coach’s premiere Short Hills, NJ location on Wednesday (July 1).

The 27-year-old former Gilmore Girls star wore a gorgeous yellow Lela Rose dress, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Mawi crystal and chain bracelet and, of course, a Coach Poppy “Spotlight” bag.

Thanks to all the JJ readers who came out to the event, it was great meeting you all. Hope you enjoyed the Poppy candy bar and Poppy-razzi photobooth! And to the three $1,000 shopping spree winners, enjoy!!!

At the event, Alexis shared her Fourth of July plans while chowing down on some hamburger sliders and pigs in a blanket.

ALEXIS BLEDEL INTERVIEW — JUSTJARED.COM EXCLUSIVE

On how she’s going to spend July 4th: “I’m visiting a friend’s house to watch the fireworks and eat some BBQ. I’m from Texas, so I know how to cook everything BBQ’d. Even when I’m in L.A., it’s always nice enough to BBQ outside.”

On her favorite BBQ: “Mmm. Moist brisket! That’s the best. The really tender beef with a great sauce.”

On why she likes the Poppy collection: “It’s colorful! It’s a new style for Coach because it’s a bit more casual than their usual bags. They’re accent bags.”

On one of her favorite charities, Peace Games: “They help kids in school learn how to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. They do different exercises and play games to learn about cooperation and conflict resolution. I learned about the charity when I attended an event that [my The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants costar America Ferrera] hosted when she was attending USC. I’ve been involved ever since.” (A percentage of sales from all Poppy purchases made yesterday will be donated Peace Games.)

On where she wants to go on vacation this summer: “I want to go through the Grand Canyon for sure! I don’t necessarily want to hike it… I just want to see it.”

FYI: Alexis and I had a bit too much fun in the Poppy-razzi photo booth. She loved doing the roller coaster pose so much, she made us do it twice! Also, one little girl who came to get Alexis’s autograph had a broken arm. Alexis was nice enough to sign her cast (pictured below)!

@ Can’t believe she is 27..

Yah she is 27 yet looking like a 17-18 years old. Great genes so… what a lucky b*tch!

Post Grad looks funny, promising and had Rodrigo Santoro - hmmm…

I think Im so going to see that movie Post Grad too as she seems funny in the movie while still looking pretty, smart & hot as ever - go Alexis!

Alexis is just a darling. She looks good no matter what she wears. And she is just getting hotter all the time now…

She could be the prettiest face in hollywood … maybe could be a bit more toned and less paler if she was going for body perfection. To be honest I wouldn’t give a damn if I was that pretty…

awesome pictures. alexis is gorgeous

Oh how I miss Rory Gilmore! Absolutely one of the best and well written shows I have ever seen. Anywho though, I think she looks great. I do see where some people could point out flaws but I’m biased and just love her and her perfect porcelain skin…

i-said-so @ 07/03/2009 at 2:43 am

Her eyes not only doing the “popping” but also her fashion sense… simply staggering.

The photobooth pics are rare in that they showcase Alexis goofing around and having a fun time. I love it!

Check out Alexis Bledel’s official myspace (www.myspace.com/alexisbledel) for the trailer for Post Grad!

She’s beautiful. Her face and those eyes especially, but also the way she carries herself. ALWAYS classy & grounded..

I love her coloring right now – summery yellow dress, luminous skin tone, light brown hair and those blue eyes – just gorgeous!

I love Alexis Bledel so I love you too Jared - lol!

Jared will you please post more of her? It’s so nice to see a new & fresh face on this site…

@#59
True.
Its soo rare to see her in the tabloids… even more just goofing around. But she looks likes she’s truly enjoying herself at the event which is a good thing. Hope to see her more like these.
Tnx Jared for helping Alexis to come out of her shell once again lol!

She looks breathtakingly beautiful as always =D
That bright yellow dress looks amazing on her, showing off those lovely legs =]

OMG!!!
An ANGEL had landed on Just Jared… Bring on / Call in more of the press LOL

Alexis’ very pretty. She hasn’t aged a bit — I bet even when she’s in her thirties, she’ll still look in her early twenties.
Furthermore, the dress, the bag and the shoes are just superb… just like her. She really had a good taste.

She looks perfect. She is a natural beauty. Her features are so simple and yet when you put them together it is sheer perfection. Her eyes are stunning. She is the girl next door with extra ummmfff. GORGEOUS!

I’m soooo happy that you posted about Alexis Bledel!!!
She’s so down to earth, beautiful and funny.

I want more posts about her! pleaaaase =(

alexis_milo @ 07/03/2009 at 4:57 am

She looks stunning. Her outfit looks amazing on her. im so jealous.
I LOVE RORY GILMORE AND I LOVE ALEXIS BLEDEL. Favorite celebrity hands down.
@#69, #59. Totally agree. love that shes goofing around. ppl say thats shes a boring person well they can suck these pictures.

IMO, Alexis has a stunning face and has the perfect celebrity bod. And she got a new movie coming out, The Post Grad, which is why we’re seeing more of her at public events like this one…

JERSEYBOY @ 07/03/2009 at 6:33 am

GOODNESS GRACIOUS GORGEOUS!!!

gg_fanatic @ 07/03/2009 at 6:46 am

I missed Rory… I missed Lorelai…. I missed anything & everything about Gilmore Girls. So I think I’m going to watch Post Grad - its still better than nothing.

justdivine @ 07/03/2009 at 6:58 am

I love her, I’m glad there’s more posts with her as opposed to the other messes. It’s refreshing. And I think she is rocking the hell out of that dress all over again!
