Blake Lively was the name on everyone's lips last year - from her impeccable maternity style to her burgeoning lifestyle website (and now rumoured babywear line), the former Gossip Girl star made some serious waves in the industry.

So it comes as no surprise that Lively has just topped Forbes annual '30 under 30' list - beating Emma Stone and Emma Watson to the punch.

But despite all the projects Lively is currently juggling (not to mention, the imminent birth of her first baby), the star appears to show no signs of slowing down.

"I'll never feel like I arrived," Lively told Forbes. "The people I look up to the most are the people that are continuing to up their game."

This year, Forbes says it selected the stars on the list for their ability to change the world.

"It's no longer enough for our list members to be actors or writers confined to one genre," said Forbes. "They want to stretch their wings and try comedy or direct or write New York Times bestsellers. They also want to be humanitarians and business people."

Forbes cites Emma Watson for her impressive feminist speech, and Ellen Page for her bravery in coming out publicly, as the reasons they made the list along with their entertainment skills.

And if you're wondering where Jennifer Lawrence and Lena Dunham are, you won't find them - Forbes decided to create an entirely new list, so past members weren't allocated a spot.
