Why we want to be as 'flawless' as Blake Lively

When it comes to Blake Lively, a lot of adjectives come to mind -- gorgeous, admirable, talented, passionate, flawless, to name a few. Well, today she's celebrating her 28th birthday.

Lively took her claim to fame as Serena van der Woodsen in the CW's drama "Gossip Girl" from 2007 to 2012. She's also co-starred in the films "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," "Green Lantern," and "The Age of Adeline."

In addition to acting, Lively is also a model and celebrity homemaker. In 2011, she was featured in TIME's annual 100 influential people list, and in 2012, People magazine named her one of Most Beautiful at Every Age.

In early 2010, Lively met Ryan Reynolds while filming "Green Lantern." In October 2011, the two began dating, and were married in September 2012. In early 2015, the couple welcomed a baby girl, James. Last August, Lively told Marie Claire magazine, "If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would." During the previous year, Reynolds told Details, "We'd love to have a big family." Let's hope they see their plan for a bigger family through.
