Blake Lively has attended the Cannes Film Festival twice: once in 2014 and once in 2016.
During those trips, the actor wore 15 standout outfits that ranged from ball gowns to vibrant coats.

Blake Lively's first red-carpet moment at the Cannes Film Festival wasn't her strongest.

But she returned the next day in one of her best outfits to date.

The crystal-covered minidress she wore to a Chopard event that year was cute and fun.

And the black-and-white gown she wore to the "Captives" premiere was even better.

Lively missed the mark with her pink coat when she arrived at the festival that year.

But the white ensemble she wore when arriving in 2016 was ideal for a trip to France.

The actor perfected French fashion at a photo-call for her film "The Shallows."

But the red outfit she wore for a "Cafe Society" photo-call wasn't as memorable.

The sparkling gown Lively wore to the "Cafe Society" premiere that year was the perfect mix of glamour and boldness.

And her sparkling blue gown from the "BFG" premiere has become an iconic Cannes fashion moment.

But the pastel gown she wore to the "Slack Bay (Ma Loute)" premiere didn't measure up to her previous looks.

The dress Lively wore to a press luncheon for "Cafe Society" was cute, but its yellow shade washed her out.

However, the red, white, and blue outfit she wore to a Vanity Fair dinner was striking.

She wore a cutout dress on a different day of the 2016 festival, and it wasn't her best.

She looked more comfortable in the black, coat-style gown she'd donned a few days earlier.
