My Take
I've had a soft spot for Blake Lively ever since she lit up The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as a teenager — she had this effortless warmth that made you root for her immediately. Then Gossip Girl happened, and suddenly she was Serena van der Woodsen, the most glamorous creature on television, and somehow she pulled it off without ever coming across as untouchable. Standing 5'10" and growing up in a showbiz family in Tarzana, California, she practically had stardom baked in from the start, but what I genuinely respect is that she never coasted on the looks and the pedigree. She's sharp, she's funny in interviews, she clearly has an actual personality behind all the fashion-magazine perfection — and honestly, that combo of jaw-dropping presence and self-deprecating wit is rarer than people realize.
