The red carpet in Cannes, France welcomed Blake Lively warmly as she spent the week of May 9, attending the Cannes Film Festival and promoting her film The Shallows. However, Lively’s return to the silver screen hasn’t been the only talk of this week. The world has been recognizing a different talent of Lively’s. Her sense of style. She has been killing the red carpet day after day, keeping all eyes on her.
However, this isn’t Lively’s first time at the rodeo. She has made everyone watch her rather than the films being recognized, numerous times within the last couple years. So here are 5 times Lively stole the show at Cannes including a couple looks from this year.
2014 – Gucci

It seemed Lively made the right choice in starting off the week in this oxblood chiffon gown with a thigh-high slight. The dress fit like a glove. It’s no question that all eyes were on Lively.
2014 – Chanel

2015 – Gucci

Although Lively wasn’t debuting a movie at Cannes in 2015, it was one of her first appearance as a newly weds with her husband Ryan Reynolds on her arm.
2016 – Atelier Versace

Who would even know, considering all of social media was covered with photos of Lively letting the world get their first glimpse of herself and her baby bump of child number two! Lively was stunning in this shimmering skin tight dress that was simply show-stopping.
2016 – Vivienne Westwood

The Cannes Film Festival isn’t over just yet. Perhaps Lively still has a few tricks up her sleeve. At least we hope so.
