It-girl Blake Lively was born into a showbizz family in California and quickly followed in the footsteps of her parents and sisters, but only truly became famous when she starred in the popular teen drama series Gossip Girl. In the series she plays upper east side it-girl Serena Van der Woodsen, a titel she quickly gained in real life as well. Since the premiere of Gossip Girl in 2007 Blake has been on the cover of Vogue, TeenVogue, Wmagazine, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Nylon, Seventeen and much more around the world. Girls all over the world aspire to look and act like her and men want to be with her. And I think as long as Gossip Girl is running, her popularity is pretty safe :)
