Hey there, Upper East Siders: It’s Blake Lively‘s 28th birthday, so we figured it’s high time to celebrate by paying tribute to her very best hair looks. The actress, homemaking entrepreneur, and “Beyoncé of red carpets” (according to her husband, Ryan Reynolds) has some of the most incredible hair in the biz, hands down. Whether she’s buttery blonde, strawberry blonde, or even bronde, her unrivaled long, thick waves will forever be the object of our mane envy.
With ten years of red carpet experience under her belt—yes, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” was ten years ago—we’ve seen Blake through some truly incredible hairstyles, each one more jaw-dropping than the last. Need a bit of a refresher? We’ve got you covered. It was our pleasure.

Shiny, full of body, and classically lovely—even Blake’s more low-key looks are breathtaking.

We absolutely love this beige-y blonde color on Blake: it really complements her complexion and makes her eyes look crazy blue.
