Blake Lively's Face Has Totally Changed Since Her Gossip Girl Days
Blake Lively has undergone a stunning style transformation, and that includes a new face. First, she underwent a nose job to help transform from the girl-next-door Bridget in "The Sisterhood Pants" to the glamorous socialite Serena in "Gossip Girl." While she never confirmed it, fans and surgeons noticed that the actress was sporting a notably slimmer nose around 2008. But that Upper East Side update wasn't the end of Lively's facial modification, according to plastic surgeon Dr. Samuel Golpanian, who told Glam he sees signs that the actress has gone under the knife since her "Gossip Girl" days.
He noted the signs of the late-2000s nose job, but pointed out a few other parts of her face that appear to be somewhat altered relative to younger photos. "As you keep progressing to 2019, her upper lip definitely looks more voluptuous, and she also has more prominent cheekbones," he says, suggesting she may have gotten subtle filler or fat transfers. On social media, commenter speculation goes further. "Blake definitely got a rhinoplasty and I think an upper blepharoplasty," wrote one Reddit commenter. Another commenter claims to see the signs of a "lip flip," or philtrum botox. While Lively's younger, unaltered visage is beautiful and endearing, cosmetic enhancement appears to have served her well. There's no denying that she is among Hollywood's most beautiful women — now if only Lively would hire the legit stylist she desperately needs.
Blake Lively's face card never declines but her fashion choices are a miss
Striking features are part of the reason Blake Lively has had so many flawless makeup-free moments. But when it comes to dressing herself, it's a different story altogether. Lively has proudly reported that she dresses herself, rather than working with a stylist like other similarly famous celebrities. We recommend she keep that to herself, because she tends to deliver outfits that totally miss the mark.
The "It Ends With Us" star has a serious affinity for patterns, but no eye for pattern mixing. If she's not combining patterns, then she's loading up on the accessories. "It seems like she thinks that the more expensive an outfit is, the more fashionable it is," observed one Reddit commenter. "It would explain all the layering and accessories." If she's not committing pattern overwhelm, then the proportions are often wrong, creating an uncanny effect when an otherwise lovely garment fits poorly. For an actress who has managed to keep her cosmetic procedures so tasteful and subtle, it's mystifying that her sense of style can't keep up.
