These days, we hold a special spot in our hearts for Blake Lively's humor-filled relationship with Ryan Reynolds, but the star has been holding her own since the early aughts.

Lively first came on the scene playing Bridget Vreeland in 2005's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the girl hasn't stopped working since. She lent her golden locks and bright smile to films such as Accepted, Simon Says and Elvis and Anabelle before she rose to prominence as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl.

Never one to rest on her laurels, she also starred in The Town, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and more critically acclaimed films during her downtime from the hit CW show.

Now, as we get ready to see her hit the big screen again in It Ends with Us, here's a full guide to some of Blake Lively's past films.

'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' (2005)

A Y2K classic, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has earned a very soft spot in millennial hearts since it came out in 2005.

Fans fell in love with the first film and a sequel was released in 2008. And though it's been more than 16 years since the four ladies hit the screen together, they have had plenty of heartwarming reunions over the years.
