Blake Lively got her start in Hollywood with The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films — the first of which premiered in 2005 — and never looked back.
Shortly after playing Bridget in the coming-of-age movie, Lively landed the role of Serena van der Woodsen on The CW’s Gossip Girl. The teen drama, which premiered in 2007, shot the actress to superstardom and her star has only risen in the decades since.
Following a romance with Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley, which ended in 2010 after three years, and a brief fling with Leonardo DiCaprio, Lively found love with her Green Lantern costar Ryan Reynolds. The couple wed in 2012 and have since welcomed four children.
Lively has also expanded her brand with several business ventures including Betty Buzz and Blake Brown Beauty.
