Blake Lively’s all-time most iconic style moments as she celebrates her 35th birthday

Look up ‘extra’ in the dictionary and you’re almost guaranteed to find a smiling selfie of Blake Lively.

The former Gossip Girl star is known for impeccable dress sense, dazzling red-carpet looks, and er, teasing her husband Ryan Reynolds on social media.

Blake’s fashion repertoire is made all the more impressive by the fact that she styles herself from head to toe. What. A. Woman. She explained to a WWD reporter in 2018 why she chooses to be her own stylist, saying (via Elle) “I just like it. I love design and I love fashion and it’s a way to be creative.”

We also love that she keeps it real, never afraid to show us the reality behind the glam. Case in point? This snap she uploaded while isolating in 2020. Blake posted a makeup-free selfie with her hair tangled, alongside the caption ‘Get The Look, 2020 Edition’, with what appeared to be a GIF of a trash can on fire. Our kinda gal.

In honour of our favourite down-to-earth star, we thought we’d take a look back at her style transformation over the years. The actress is known for scoring hit after sartorial hit on the red carpet, whether she’s rocking a red feather and lace Monique Lhuillier gown for the Age of Adaline premiere, or a fluorescent Versace menswear Spring/Summer 2019 suit (seriously, it’s just as iconic as it sounds).
