13 Style Tricks I Learned From Blake Lively

With all the buzz surrounding Blake Lively’s press tour for her new movie, Age of Adaline, and the 15 amazing outfits she wore in just two days, I couldn’t help but wonder, "How does she do it?" While most celebs count on their stylist to put together red carpet worthy looks, Blake Lively's style is entirely her own. So with a little research and a lot of Instagram stalking, I found the best of Blake Lively’s sartorial past. From her signature side braid and floral frocks to her oversized studs and color-blocked outfits, Lively has a bevy of fashion tips that will transform you into a red-carpet goddess.

While I loved seeing what Serena van der Woodsen wore every Monday night, I am now even more obsessed with the style of the woman who played her. Lively constantly surprises me with her insane fashion sense. Her mix of patterns and prints is nothing short of remarkable, and she can pull off sky-high pink heels just as well as she can a royal blue sweatsuit. With such a versatile wardrobe, it’s no wonder she has one of the most covetable styles in all of Hollywood.
