15 Times You Wish You Were Blake Lively
There are a lot of reasons to wish you were Blake Lively. Sure, your life probably has a lot of incredible things going on in your life, but has your life been as spectacular as Blake's? Did you star in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl? Are you married to one of the hottest men in Hollywood and have an adorable little family? Do you have one of the most amazing bodies in the world with perfect hair and a dazzling smile? Not to mention, she's so charming it makes you want to be her best friend the moment she starts talking. Yup, that's probably why she and Beyonce are BFFs. There is an overwhelming amount of reasons you might begin to be jealous of Blake Lively because this girl defines all kinds of goals. Here are 15 times you wished you were Blake Lively. And it's astonishing how flawless this woman is.
15 When She Revealed She's Talented At Everything
She is a lot more than just an actress, although she's one of the best actresses out there (well, at least in our opinions!). She's also said she's a “foodie” and loves to cook, and she's very talented at it. Apparently, Martha Stewart is her idol, and her celebrity homemaker status is a totally impressive achievement. She even got to make desserts at a world famous restaurant for her 23rd birthday. That's right, she can cook, she's an amazing actress, but what might be more impressive is her skill as a stylist. One of the biggest reasons she's so famous is that her style is so influential, and it's hard not to be totally jealous of this woman when it appears she's completely flawless. Is it possible to be good at everything? No, but Blake sure makes it seem that way when she's showing off her talents all the time.
14 When She Hung Out With Beyonce
Yup, these two women have major love for each other. It is pretty hard not to wish you were Blake Lively every time you see her doing just about anything, but the fact that she gets to hang out with Beyonce? That is a tough pill to swallow. Who does not want to hang out with Beyonce?! The friendship is so deep between these two that not only do they post birthday wishes for each other on social media, but Blake even made Beyonce a cake for her birthday! That really makes us jealous and w wish we were in her shoes! That is some serious friendship goals. You are not sure if you wish that Blake could bake you a cake or if you could bake a cake for Beyonce yourself. Either way, this is one of the many occasions that proves that Blake is living the perfect life, and you wish you were her.
13 When She Got To Be Blair Waldorf's BFF
She and Leighton Meester were on fire every time they hit the small screen. If you loved Gossip Girl, you know that it was pretty tough not to wish that you had a fabulously evil best friend like Blair. Blake was lucky enough to experience such a blessing. Every time you see throwback pictures of these two tearing up Manhattan, it's physically impossible not to get jealous. Why couldn't you be cast as the reformed party girl that gets to be Blair's best friend forever? Well, because you're not an unstoppable, fashionable star like Blake, but you can always dream. Between creating BFF goals with Blair and scheming and plotting with her, it's hard not to wish that we got to experience the glory of that friendship, even if it was only on screen. We bet those years are filled with a lot of memories for Blake that she'll never forget, and we're totally jealous.
12 When She Was In 'Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants'
This blockbuster film is what skyrocketed Blake into our hearts because who doesn't love Bridget Vreeland?! You ran to the theater to see this lovely movie with your friends, and we all wished we could star in this beautiful friendship film. Watching Bridget strut around in the traveling pants while trying to get Eric's attention is ingrained in our mind forever and that began our love affair with Blake. We've loved following her acting career ever since (and are really hoping there's another movie soon!). It was the beginning of Blake definition goals in every way for everyone. Blake got to be a part of one of the greatest chick flicks of all time, and we wish we could be in her squad more than anything. The cool thing is that she and her fellow actresses are still besties to this day and we wish we could be part of that too.
11 When She Was At A Chanel Dinner
Have you ever been the guest of honor at a Chanel dinner? Probably not… but Blake has. This shouldn't come as a super big surprise considering her influence on the fashion industry. Even Blake admitted it was “a dream come true” when she became the face of the Chanel Mademoiselle bag. It featured tons of fashion stars, big names, and friends, such as Marina Rust and Justin Long, and of course, Blake looked stunning in a dress that we all wish we could pull off. Oh, what it would be like to be Blake. She was actually the guest of honor for a Chanel dinner twice, and if that doesn't say success, we don't know what does. It's hard not to wish we could be as successful as Blake is at such a young age, but we can keep on dreaming while we gawk at her beauty. There's probably no one more deserving of it than her.
10 Literally Every Time She Smiles
On one hand, you have her unbridled talent and success, and on the other, you have her looks that could kill. She is drop dead gorgeous, to say the least, and that's exactly why so many young girls aspire to look like her. While her character on Gossip Girl might not be the best role model, Blake herself definitely is. You'd be lying if you said you didn't wish you could look as flawlessly stunning as she always manages to look, and she does it so naturally, too. What would it be like to always be camera ready? We imagine it's one of the reasons Blake's life is so glamorous, but it's easy to understand why the camera loves her. Seriously, just look at that smile. It's no wondering why Ryan fell head over heels for her because we totally have too. Nobody quite lights up a room with a smile like this lovely lady does, and that's a fact.
9 When She Looks Like A Goddess
Which is basically every single photo you see of her. It's like her face is permanently airbrushed. It's either that, or she isn't actually human and she is a goddess that has traveled to earth to grace us with her presence. You can practically feel the envy blooming in your heart at every photo you see of her, and especially when her perfect face is paired with Ryan's, it looks like two angels staring lovingly into each other's eyes. We can't imagine what their children will grow up to look like. Their beauty will probably be too intense to handle. You might as well sign them up for their future modeling careers already because anyone with Blake's genetics will grow up to be a goddess just like her. How Blake always manage to look drop dead gorgeous is beyond us, but we'll literally never get tired of staring at her face.
8 When Her Body Made You Jealous
Of course celebrities have the most amazing trainers which makes it nearly impossible for them to ever gain a pound, but Blake has curves that you could literally die for. Her long legged blonde appeal is overwhelming, and her wide hips and tiny waist are enough to make anyone swoon. Even after having two babies, her body keeps getting hotter and hotter, and it is impossible not to be jealous of her. Does she have a crazy metabolism or a strict diet? Maybe, but probably not, because being undeniably beautiful is one of those things that comes easy to Blake. It's why Hollywood always has its eyes on her because it's impossible to peel your attention away from her when she's so damn attractive. A perfect face, body, and mind, isn't something that everyone can achieve, but it looks like Blake has got it. If there's any reason you might be wishing you were her, this could be it.
7 Every Time You See Her With Her Husband
They are the definition of #relationshipgoals. No seriously, if you can find a couple more perfect than them, the internet would be totally amazed. They starred in Green Lantern together and who knew that a year later Ryan would fall madly in love with her?! He recalls one fateful double date when it all became crystal clear to him that he was totally into her: “It was funny because for about a year after the movie had come and gone, all that stuff, we were both single… We went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl. That was the most awkward date for that respective party because we were just like fireworks.” That's definitely an interesting way to start off one of the most adorable Hollywood power couples, but every time we see Blake with her heartthrob husband, it's impossible not to be jealous of her.
6 When She Played Serena ON 'GG'
Starring as Serena on Gossip Girl is what really brought Blake Lively into the spotlight. She commanded the role of the powerful Serena van der Woodsen so well. Who wouldn't want to play such an interesting character, not to mention a wealthy one? While it might shock you to hear this because you would have loved to star in such a coveted role, Blake revealed that she's not proud of Gossip Girl or Serena. The wholesome actress stated that it felt “personally compromising” to play Serena, and it stopped being fun after a while. It was part of the reason she took a hiatus from acting after the show ended. It's understandable that such a pure hearted woman struggled playing a morally compromised girl on screen, but it doesn't stop us from wishing we could play such an iconic role as well. Every moment she was playing Serena, we wished we were Serena.
5 When She Got To Film In Designer Clothes
For a woman that loves fashion and style as much as Blake, she must have adored being asked to wear designer clothes for every scene. We wish we got paid to wear ridiculously expensive and cute clothes every day at our job, but hey, that is the beauty and the privilege of being Blake Lively. The cast of Gossip Girl was ridiculously beautiful, and their fashion and style was iconic, especially when Blake was wearing it. She even got to ask the costume designers to take pieces of the clothing home, so essentially, being a part of that television cast is basically everyone's dream job. While Blake can probably buy whatever cute article of clothing she wants, it must have been special to film in the top designer clothes of the season, and it is another reason we wish we were her. We are so jealous just thinking about it.
4 When She Owned The Red Carpet
Which is literally every time she walks down the red carpet. This girl steals the show wherever she goes, whether she's walking down it solo or she's on Ryan's arm, it's always exciting to see her owning it. Her shiny hair and flawless skin mean that the camera always adores her, plus she wears the most amazing clothes. Whether she's wearing a hot leather bustier and a sheer white tulle skirt, or a Cinderella-esque princess dress with a white headband, you can guarantee she'll be robbing the show and making all the other celebrities jealous. It isn't just you that wishes you could be her! She's the definition of a blonde bombshell, and her gorgeous smile and lovable personality makes her an item for envy. Not all the celebrities in Hollywood can look as good as her, but they can always wish, just like you are. Who do you think loves her more, Ryan or the red carpet?
3 Every Time She Has An Awesome Hairstyle (aka 24/7)
Who the hell has hair this perfect? Of course it's Blake Lively, but that doesn't make it fair. Some days she looks like a California beach goddess with her natural waves, and other times she's on the red carpet with straight hair in a half ponytail looking flawless. How is it so blonde, shiny, and luxurious? She even owns braided ponytails and Barbie hairstyles, but nothing looks quite as beautiful as when her hair is down and lusciously flowing. Her hair stylist is probably in heaven, because who wouldn't want to be paid to play with that mop of golden locks? She can rock an up-do like nobody else, and while she defines pretty much any goal you can think of, it's time to add hair goals to the list. Her daughters will probably be blessed with the same amazing locks as well, so start being jealous of them, too.
2 When She Was A Hot Pregnant Woman
It's true that pregnant women are glowing and overwhelmingly beautiful, but nobody looked quite as stunning as Blake did during her pregnancies. Her baby fashion was fabulous, as she wore the most delicate and alluring dresses to accentuate her bump as it grew bigger and bigger. She admitted that even though she appeared to be dazzling, she was actually totally uncomfortable while she was pregnant. “It should be illegal to be pregnant in New York in July,” she told Jimmy Fallon on his show, and added, “I swear, I'm going to make my water break just so I can cool down.” Well, you certainly didn't look as bad as you felt because it was easy to be envious about how well you rocked your baby belly on the red carpet, Blake. No matter what state your body is in or how you're feeling, everybody is still wishing that they could be you.
1 When You See Her Perfect Family
Have you seen the pictures of Ryan, Blake, James, and their new little one? If you haven't, you're seriously missing out, because it's probably exactly how you want your future family to look. It's impossible not to be in love with these sweethearts and their perfect babies because they radiate love and positivity. If you haven't heard the news, it was recently revealed that the couple's second baby who was born in September was named Ines. Ines and James are going to be the most powerful sisters in Hollywood one day, and you can say you saw the beginning of their beaming and happy family. She has friendship goals, hair goals, and family goals as well, so basically, Blake has everything you want. Keep on wishing you were her, and maybe one day you'll have a family that is just as lovely as hers. It's impossible not to idolize Blake!
