Blake Lively's Best Hair & Makeup Moments On Red Carpet

Blake Lively never misses a beat on the red carpet. When it comes to her hair, she proves time and time again that it's of the most enviable in Hollywood.
What’s not to love about the bronde colour and classic, '40s-inspired styling on this vintage version of Blake (seen here in 2007)?
The only thing we love more than Blake’s long-running IRL friendship with her The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars? The gorgeous Grecian-inspired braids she wore at the movie’s premiere in 2008.
Proof that Blake has never had a bad hair day: These enviable loose waves from 2009 are a look that we still want to emulate.
This low chignon looks pretty straightforward from the front, but a textured maze of intricate braids and strategic pinning in back equals a look that we’d love to cop for ourselves.
Damn. This girl even makes a simple pony look lust-worthy! It's all about position. The hair is gathered smack in-between the crown and the nape. The result is effortless, sleek, and anything but basic.
Does this messy-but-modern side-braid, worn at the Green Lantern premiere, look too complicated to replicate? Yep. But that won't stop us from trying. When we do, we’ll keep it from merging into bed-head territory by maintaining clean lines around the face.
Blake seldom turns to the flat iron for public appearances. But when she does, she knocks it out of the park. Notice how she deftly avoids the stick-straight trap by creating lift at the roots and pulling her hair off of her face.
It’s hard to choose a favourite of Blake absolutely owning Old Hollywood barrel curls. But this look rises above the rest for its sheer shine, volume, and tumbling softness.
An Insta-worthy half updo that will look classic in years to come? Blake has got it on lock. Key styling elements: tease to create a little volume at the crown, pin back the hair low on the head, and let loose tendrils fly.
Beach waves have been trending for years, so now the style has us feeling a little meh. But a brushed-out version that perfectly frames the face and still looks effortless? Sign us up.
The 2013 Met Gala’s Punk theme confounded Hollywood and fashion people. But Blake’s fauxhawk pony makes the grade as a style we’re stoked to replicate for any occasion.
To keep her flat-ironed hair from looking too ‘90s, Lively employs a deep side part and face-skimming bend.
This updo may be perfectly coiffed in back, but up front, it's tightly-pulled sides and faux-hawk top creates a look that delivers a tough-as-nails vibe.
In a nod to ‘40s glamour, Blake’s hair for the 2014 Met Gala combined a deep side part, victory rolls, and loose finger waves for a look that’s enviable in any decade.
Like many of Blake’s trademark hairstyles, this high pony looks flawless in front, but boasts a slightly off-kilter braid in back, softening the look.
Lively's signature rumpled waves keep this cool, '60s mod style from looking too retro.
The deep side part looks emphatically elegant when paired with tightlined eyes and rosy pink lips.
This style may read pure Veronica Lake in front, but it’s pure punk party in the back, thanks to a couple of French braids that sweep everything to the side.
Leave it to Lively to turn a simple low pony into a bombshell look. Loose barrel curls create volume, while face-framing bends add effortless appeal.
Half-up styles will never be boring if you add a little texture to your bump, like she did in July 2016.
Lively, of course, arrived to the 69th Cannes Film Festival looking like a modern-day Cinderella. Who's to say if the Disney princess was really her inspiration, but between the pale-blue ballgown, bubblegum pink lip, and romantic updo, it's safe to say she probably was.
