See Blake Lively’s body and face transformation: the actress shown throughout the years
BLAKE Lively is an A-list blonde bombshell who rocks every red carpet, but she was the girl next door when she first hit the Hollywood scene.
Going from singleton to mom-of-four and little-known to world-famous, Blake has had quite a transformation in the nearly two decades since she started out.
2005
Born in Los Angeles, California, Lively’s breakout role came when she was 17 years old.
In the film The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, she took on the role of the sporty and beautiful Bridget.
While her signature bleach-blonde hair remains the same today, the side part she wore then gave away the decade.
Her nose also appeared slightly bigger than it is today, and her style was certainly more casual than the glamorous designer looks she’s now known for.
2006
After the success she saw in The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, Lively went on to play the cool hottie in the comedy Accepted. Then 18, her star was rising.
2007
At 20 years old, Lively saw the job that would officially solidify her place as a Hollywood A-lister.
Gossip Girl premiered on the CW and Lively’s character, Serena van der Woodsen, was the dazzling and lavish girl many wanted to be.
Beachy waves and high-end fashion choices were becoming synonymous with the California native.

By then, eagled-eyed fans who'd watched her in Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants noticed that her nose had appeared to change, though the star has never confirmed getting plastic surgery.
2011
In 2011, Lively ditched her signature golden locks and opted for an auburn red shade.
Still stunning, she styled them in old Hollywood glam curls — a noticeable shift from her more casual hairdos of times past.
2012
A few years after breaking up with her Gossip Girl co-star and on-screen love interest Penn Badgley, Lively went on to marry actor Ryan Reynolds.
With her blonde hair back and her usual minimal makeup, she appeared happy and dewy.
2014
Two years later, Lively’s body wasn’t as slender as before —– because she was pregnant with her first child.
She looked radiant on the red carpet flaunting her bump.
2016
Two kids later, Lively attended the celebration for hubby Ryan Reynold’s star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
She rocked a blue dress that brought out her light features and curvier figure.
2018
One of Lively’s most memorable looks was perhaps from the 2018 Met Gala.
She proved to be a continued style icon in an ornate gold and ruby Versace gown.
With her mane pulled back into an updo, she looked sophisticated and elegant.
2019
In 2019, the megastar was pregnant with her third child and slipped into a bright yellow dress to show off her growing belly.
With her hair in tight curls, she looked different from the California girl we’re used to.
2021
In 2021, the actress was back to her usual glam, rocking a high pony and sequin dress with cutouts along the stomach, back, and cleavage area.
2022
Soon after, however, she was back in mom mode as she prepared for the arrival of her fourth child.
