On-and-off-screen coupleBlake Lively (in Dolce & Gabbana) and Penn Badgley look positively sun-kissed at the CW Network’s Upfronts at Lincoln Center on Tuesday in New York City.

The Gossip Girl costars recently came back from a lovefest in Mexico this past weekend!

“It’s the first show we developed exclusively for the CW,” President of Entertainment of The CW Dawn Ostroff said of Gossip Girl. “It’s amazing the kind of press and attention that it’s gotten. We asked, wow, do we take that building block to build other franchises? We’ll be able to create a real brand with pop culture, buzz-worthy shows.”

Other GG castmates pictured: Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Ed Westwick and Taylor Momsen. (Leighton’s purple top is from TRL.)

What should we call this couple — Plake? Blively?? Bladgley???

FYI: Blake and Penn were home schooled together for two years when they were younger. They just happened to end up on Gossip Girl together and share a love arc! <3
