More Than 25,000 People Have Signed a Petition to Have Matt Damon Cut from ‘Ocean’s 8’

This is one of those non-negotiable summer movies that I have to watch as soon as the weather starts warming up. It's got everything: early 2000s nostalgia, solid female friendships, and a stellar cast. Blake plays Bridget, alongside America Ferrera's Carmen, Alexis Bledel's Lena, and Amber Tamblyn Tibby. They're four best friends who decide to share a magical pair of jeans during their first summer apart. And while you rewatch, read up on Everything We Know About Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 3.

Gossip Girl completely changed television, and the first season is still one of the best in all of TV if I do say so myself. None of Blake Lively's characters have quite the same style and drama that Serena van der Woodsen does, even as she tries to navigate life as a socialite. My favorite episode? The pilot.

Bri and the rest of the girls are back, this time after their freshman year of college. They're having a harder time staying in touch, and as they enter adulthood, they must reconcile their dreams, family secrets, and betrayals of all kinds.

Is this the most well-received superhero movie? Definitely not. Is it the worst one I've seen? Also no. Blake stars opposite her future husband Ryan Reynolds as Carol Ferris, vice president of Ferris Aircraft. After Parallax becomes a threat to the powers that be, Ryan's Hal Jordan must help the Green Lantern Corps protect the galaxy.

The amount of time we spend in space with the Corps is the most alienating aspect of this movie (that pun was not intended, but I'll go with it). Even though more time with less characters would have grounded the movie, it's very fun to see Blake and Ryan act together. Rent on Amazon.

This movie was my entire personality in high school, and if you are a history nerd or a costume lover, you need to add this to your watchlist STAT. This Blake Lively movie is all about Adaline, who becomes ageless when she's struck by lightning, thanks to a (fictional) scientific law that hasn't been discovered yet. We see Adaline move through the decades with two rules: move around every ten years once she no longer looks her age, and never fall in love. Easier said than done.

Blake stars opposite Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Steve Carell in this old school Hollywood story. When Bobby (Jesse) has his heart broken by Vonnie (Kristen), he returns to the Bronx. His new job in a nightclub leads him to begin a romance with a socialite — until Vonnie returns.

If you're more of a thriller fan than a rom-com lover, this flick will have you on the edge of your seat. Nancy (Blake) takes some time away after the loss of her mother, and decides to go surfing alone. When a great white shark attacks and leaves her stranded, Nancy has to figure out how to survive.

In this psychological thriller, Blake's Gina is haunted by an accident that left her blind, but a brand new operation in Bangkok restores the sight in her right eye. Instead of excitement or relief, she finds that her husband James has nothing but jealousy and insecurity.

Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively star as Stephanie and Emily, respectively. Stephanie is a mommy blogger who is in awe of Emily's glamorous life — until Emily goes missing and leaves a trail of secrets in her wake. Speaking from experience, this is the perfect girls' night watch — especially if none of you have seen it.

Stephanie Patrick (Blake) doesn't know how to heal after a plane crash kills her family. When she learns it wasn't actually an accident, she enlists the help of a former CIA operative to help her find — and punish — everyone involved.

11. It Ends With Us (2024) — Stream on Netflix

In It Ends With Us, Lily Bloom's life is finally looking up. She's falling in love and opening her long-awaited flower shop. But when her new boyfriend starts repeating old patterns, and her first love reenters the picture, things get more complicated than she ever expected.

The 'It Ends With Us' wardrobe department spent over half a million dollars.

In an April 25, 2023 email exchange Justin published on the website, a line producer writes that "wardrobe's budget for spending is $185K. Normally wardrobe over spends and then does tons of returns and ends up in budget."

"To date they've already spent $615K, and they need their cashet cards all replenished because they've only shopped for Justin and Blake," the email continues. "They had to reshop everything for Blake after creative changes, but it's a lot of money. I trust them of course, but want to keep you all posted as this is way more than I've ever seen wardrobe go over budget with the initial spend."

Despite going over budget, Blake Lively revealed on TODAY that "a lot" of the costumes in the movie are "my real life clothes or my husband's clothes, or my girlfriend Gigi [Hadid's] clothes. I was borrowing some...It's like a wedding! Something old, something borrowed, something blue, something new." ("And there it is," one X user writes. "A lot of clothes used in the movie It Ends With Us are Blake’s clothes. Which explains why the styling is horrible.")

All this leads me to ask...what the heck were they spending $615K on?!

But they were determined to show off Lily's power.

Blake collaborated with costume designer Eric Daman (who was also the costume designer on Gossip Girl) for It Ends With Us, who told The Hollywood Reporter he was dedicated to finding unique items for the film.

"I was inspired to bring in some very special, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces," he says. "Blake and I had very, very similar thoughts on that, leaning into the bin clothing and kind of striking this balance between masculine and feminine elements. We don’t want Lily to appear like a shrinking violet. She is a very strong-willed, self-empowered woman and I think it was very important not to lean into clothing where it felt more delicate."
