From Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl to an icky lifestyle brand, many celebrity friendships and one of Hollywood’s messiest legal battles, Blake Lively has spent two decades transforming herself from Hollywood ingénue into an increasingly complicated pop-culture figure. This week, we revisit her rise, her romance and carefully cultivated power-couple brand with Ryan Reynolds, the controversies surrounding Preserve and their plantation wedding, and the reported unraveling of her friendship with Taylor Swift. Of course, we also unpack the It Ends With Us fallout, her bitter conflict with Justin Baldoni, and the internet’s dramatic turn against a woman it once loved. We've got a lot to cover, so this week is super-sized!
