11 of Blake Lively's most iconic looks over the years
Amanda Krause
- Throughout her decades-long acting career, Blake Lively has simultaneously become a red-carpet icon.
- Many of her most iconic fashion moments have happened at the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival.
Blake Lively sparkled at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in a gown that's memorable almost 10 years later.
She wore a sparkle-covered dress from Chanel with Sophia Webster heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
The gown's iridescent design had a fitted, tiered waistband, a semi-sheer midi skirt with pockets, and halter straps that extended into a V-shaped neckline.
Lively also wore a tulle scarf draped around her arms, adding some flow to the outfit.
She also had one of her most glamorous red-carpet moments to date that year.
For another Cannes Film Festival event, Lively wore a strapless Gucci dress with a black bodice and white lining across its neckline. The same lighter material also wrapped around the back of the garment to create a full skirt.
The dramatic dress made a statement on its own, but Lively made the look even better with diamond jewelry, red lipstick, matching nail polish, and a sleek bun.
In 2014, Lively proved that her maternity style is just as iconic as her everyday fashion.
At the annual Angel Ball in New York City that year, Lively arrived in a long-sleeved, pastel-yellow gown designed by Gucci.
Its thin fabric hugged her body, and its plunging neckline was lined with a thick band of silver crystals. For accessories, the actor wore multiple diamond rings and yellow crystal earrings.
The blue gown she wore at Cannes in 2016 has become one of the most iconic fashion moments in the festival's history.
Most of the outfits Lively wore at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival didn't plainly reveal her baby bump.
Though people speculated, as she told Vogue, it wasn't until she wore this blue Atelier Versace gown that they started to confirm their suspicions.
The gown was fully covered in beads that sparkled in the light, from its single off-the-shoulder strap to its floor-length skirt that flowed behind her into a train.
When most people think of Lively's fashion, the dramatic gown she wore to the 2018 Met Gala comes to mind.
Versace designed her burgundy ball gown over the course of 600 hours.
It had a sleeveless, corseted bodice covered in beads, a column skirt with two sheer panels that ran the length of her legs, and an attached train that extended down the Metropolitan Museum steps.
Over the years, Lively has also made a habit of wearing iconic outfits to her husband Ryan Reynolds' movie premieres.
One of those looks was the sparkling black dress she wore to a screening of "Deadpool 2" in 2018.
Brandon Maxwell designed the strapless look, which also had a red sash around the waist — matching the colors of Deadpool's suit.
Lively mostly wore suits for a brief period in 2018, and a plaid one still remains a fan favorite.
Her multicolored suit from Roland Mouret featured wide checks in multiple shades of green, red, tan, and blue.
She wore the two-piece with a white blouse and blue tie tucked into her pants.
One of her edgiest looks has become one of her most famous.
For a movie screening in 2020, Lively stepped onto the red carpet wearing a velvet gown from Dolce & Gabbana. It had off-the-shoulder short sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, and a wrapped skirt.
But her accessories really stole the show. She wore long leather gloves that covered most of her arms, a knee-high pair of Christian Louboutin boots, and layers of necklaces crafted from chains, pearls, and a giant crystal.
Many will also remember the sparkling cutout dress she wore to the "Free Guy" premiere in 2021.
Prabal Gurung designed the sleeveless dress, which was covered almost entirely in pink sequins. Only the rope-style lining across the gown's bodice and waist cutouts was silver.
If you tuned into the 2022 Met Gala, you likely haven't forgotten Lively's metallic, color-changing ball gown.
She channeled the Statue of Liberty at the Met Gala that year in a custom Versace look. It had one bronze layer and another green one underneath to mirror the oxidation of the famous New York City landmark.
But the hidden details of her outfit didn't stop there. The front of her dress was also meant to mirror the Empire State Building, and its green train featured the same constellations that are seen on the ceiling of the Grand Central Terminal in NYC.
Lively also wore a Lorraine Schwartz crown that matched the Statue of Liberty's.
A few months later, Lively channeled the '60s with a look that was widely applauded.
Valentino designed her long-sleeved minidress, which was sheer aside from its rows of silver sequins.
Lively completed the maternity look with a thin white scarf around her neck, a matching headband, golden hoop earrings, and platform heels.
