You can’t stop, won’t stop Blake Lively from slaying the outfit game. The former Gossip Girl star, 30, is not only fearless when it comes to test-driving a new lewk, but she insists on doing all the A+ styling herself (practically a rarity in Hollywood these days). When she’s not topping the best-dressed list at the Met Gala or mastering enviable maternity style, she’s making headlines with a new retro pin-up girl ‘do on set. If you can keep up, scroll through for 18 of Lively’s boldest looks.

1. Throwback Jumpsuit: All eyes should be on the starlet’s showstopping canary yellow separates from Brandon Maxwell’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Between the belted waist and bell-bottoms, we’re digging the ’70s appeal. (Photo via James Devaney/GC Images)

2. Reinvented Trench: The bombshell blonde turned heads in a sleek red patent Michael Kors trench and heart-accented Christian Louboutin heels. (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Michael Kors)

3. Nonstop Glam: Granted, the All I See Is You star could wear a paper bag and still look fabulous, but this drapey Oscar de la Renta sequined column dress isn’t too shabby either. (Photo via James Devaney/GC Images)

4. Serena van der Woodsen Styling: At CinemaCon, she served up major Serena van der Woodsen-esque styling by teaming a navy Sonia Rykiel blazer dress alongside an Aritzia button-down and splash-worthy Louboutin graffiti heels. Her snazzy Brackish bow tie was easily the cherry on top. (Photo via Ethan Miller/Getty Images for CinemaCon)

5. New Bohemian: The Shallows star could not look more boho-fabulous in her colorful floral lace knee-high stiletto boots (courtesy of Christian Louboutin, natch) and blue suede Jonathan Simkhai wrap dress. (Photo via Raymond Hall/GC Images)

6. Standout Topper: Details, people, details! It’s the unexpected juxtaposition between a fête-worthy gingham Monse dress and an embroidered Oscar de la Renta camel topper that elevates this leading lady to street MVP status. (Photo via James Devaney/GC Images)

7. Celestial-Inspired: The Age of Adaline heroine, outfitted in a sheer Monique Lhuillier star-embroidered bodysuit and tuxedo coat, seduced us all with her sleek after-party updo for the New York premiere. (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)

8. Maternity Style 2.0: The mom of two embraced the bump in a curve-enhancing Gucci gown (ahem, peep the deep-V!). (Photo via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation)

9. Suit Up: Taking after Annie Hall, we see. Though quite a departure from her usual glamazon look, Lively looked amazing in a tailored three-piece glen plaid Ralph Lauren suit and accompanying lace-up stompers. (Photo via James Devaney/GC Images)

10. Blushing Beauty: For fashion’s biggest night out — the 2016 Met Gala — Lively channeled pure elegance in a blush pink princess-inspired Burberry gown featuring a red floral print motif. (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/FilmMagic)

11. Dressed to Impress: Once again putting the va-va in the voom, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star appeared red carpet-ready in a risqué tweed and leather Chanel dress and strappy Balenciaga heels. (Photo via Angela Weiss/AFP/Getty Images)

12. Old Hollywood Glamour: The actress suited up in a ladylike Chanel houndstooth jumpsuit and Louboutin pumps while promoting All I See Is You in NYC. (Photo via James Devaney/GC Images)

13. Lady in Red: The former Gossip Girl actress knocked it out of the park in a vixen red Juan Carlos Obando jumpsuit (the draped choker-like neckline is our fave part) and the daintiest of Jennifer Meyer jewels for the 69th Annual Cannes Film Festival.

14. Tough Girl in Training: For The Shallows premiere, the expecting starlet ruled the blue carpet in a Carolina Herrera frothy tulle dress and leather bustier. Between her rockstar demeanor and sleek pony, this girl is on fire. (Photo via Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic)

15. Go for Gold: No need to school this A-lister on being “extra”; she’s already got that down pat. It was this luxe gold and blue feathered Atelier Versace stunner that ruled the 2017 Met Gala red carpet. (Photo via Karwai Tang/WireImage)

16. Athluxury: Who knew a sequined basketball-inspired jersey and matching track pants from Monse could look this DDG, let alone for a film screening? Not us. (Photo via Raymond Hall/GC Images)

17. IRL Princess: While Lively’s no stranger to flaunting Cinderella-style gowns, it was this glistening blue Atelier Versace number — complete with a thigh-high slit and stylin’ bump — that sparked comparisons to Frozen’s Queen Elsa at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. TBH, we’re still not over it. (Photo via Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

18. Heavenly Creature: But what could top Lively’s most recent red carpet turn at the 2018 Met Gala? Nothing, that’s what. The scarlet starlet stepped out in a highly embellished burgundy and gold Versace number topped off with a sunburst headpiece and custom stained glass nails. (Photo via Dia Dipasupil/WireImage)
