- You probably know Blake Lively from her roles in “Gossip Girl” and “It Ends With Us.”
- She’s also famous for her standout fashion, which she’s worn at the Met Gala, premieres, and more.
- That said, Lively has missed the mark with a handful of her outfits.
In addition to being a Hollywood name and the subject of countless headlines, Blake Lively is also a style star.
The 37-year-old actor has been making fashion statements since the start of her career, from dramatic Met Gala moments to streetwear that pushes the envelope.
And many of her outfits have been stunning — even iconic. Others, however, could have been better.
Here’s a look at the best and worst looks she’s worn so far.
Blake Lively’s red ball gown at the 2018 Met Gala was arguably her best look of all time.
Atelier Versace designed her ornate ensemble for the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” event.
It had a gold corseted bodice embellished with crystals, a long pleated train, and metallic appliqués in intricate patterns all over its full skirt. It took the fashion house more than 600 hours to make.
Lively completed the iconic Met Gala look with a spiked headpiece, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
On the other hand, her “Deadpool & Wolverine” premiere outfit was one of her worst.
Lively walked the red carpet in July 2024 wearing her own version of Deadpool’s famous gear.
Atelier Versace designed her form-fitting catsuit, which had long, gloved sleeves, an off-the-shoulder neckline, and black lace embellishments across its shining fabric. She wore it with velvet pumps and statement jewelry.
Though red is definitely one of Lively’s colors, the bottom half of the outfit had too much fabric and was bunching around her ankles. The overall look also felt more like a costume than a fashion statement.
Lively stunned in a sparkling blue gown at a 2024 Tiffany & Co. event.
In May 2024, Lively proved there’s no better color to wear to a Tiffany & Co. event than blue.
She visited one of the brand’s New York City stores that month in a beaded dress made in the 1960s. Its vibrant blue color complemented Lively’s blonde hair, and its scalloped pattern showcased its old-school glamour.
The garment came from the vintage bridal shop Happy Isles, while her statement diamond jewels were courtesy of Tiffany & Co.
Her blue suit for a screening of “A Simple Favor” didn’t work as well.
She exclusively wore suits during the “A Simple Favor” press tour in September 2018, which was both a smart business decision and the ultimate example of method dressing. Everyone was talking about her fashion.
Unfortunately, the specific set she chose for the film’s Paris premiere wasn’t her best choice — mainly because the look was ill-fitting.
First, her blue jacket with a black sequin pattern seemed too big. It had sharp shoulder pads that created a square silhouette and long sleeves that covered most of her hands.
Similarly, her matching slacks were so long that they gathered above her ankles. Some tailoring could have greatly improved the look.
The actor borrowed a colorful dress from Britney Spears last summer, and it looked equally pretty on her.
Versace designed the semi-sheer gown that Lively wore to the US premiere of “It Ends With Us” in August 2024.
The dress — originally modeled by Spears during Milan Fashion Week in 2002 — had a single strap that reached across Lively’s collarbone, an angled V-shaped slit across the chest, and loose pleats at the bottom of its skirt.
It was also decorated from top to bottom with multicolored sequins in bright shades of pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow.
The dress was fun and timeless, and Lively’s choice to wear it only added to its fashion history.
There was one big issue with the ball gown Lively wore to the Copenhagen premiere of “It Ends With Us.”
She walked the red carpet in August 2024 while wearing a ball gown from Atelier Versace. Some elements of the gown were pretty, but there was ultimately too much going on.
Its full skirt, for example, was decorated with both an elegant blue pattern and gold detailing. Though it might have worked if paired with a solid bodice, it instead sat below a corset with sheer waist panels and a beaded chest.
The top half of the dress distracted from the garment’s glamour and made the outfit appear incohesive.
Lively proved that florals and strapless gowns never go out of style at a UK movie premiere.
Lively walked the white “It Ends With Us” carpet in August 2024 wearing a Tamara Ralph couture gown. The strapless piece hugged her body, was covered in silver sequins, and was decorated with a beaded floral print that extended above the chest.
She also wore a vibrant red coat made with feathers, which added more color and another fun texture to her look.
The statement-making look was memorable and flashy.
The one-piece she sported at a 2023 fashion show appeared dated and needed some tweaks.
She attended the Michael Kors 2023 runway show wearing a tan catsuit from the designer. It had thin straps with a scooped neckline, all-over brown sequins, and flare pants.
The latter part of the garment was too long on Lively, with each pant leg gathering around her feet on the floor.
The garment’s neutral color also blended too closely with Lively’s skin and hair colors.
