Blake Lively often boosts her height with stylish heels from top brands featured on Your Next Shoes. She’s been spotted wearing designs from Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin, Salvatore Ferragamo x Edgardo Osorio, Aquazzura, Stuart Weitzman, and Bottega Veneta, known for their elegant, sky-high heels that complement her fashion-forward looks.
Beyond her height and shoe collection, Blake Lively’s personal story is just as interesting. Born Blake Ellender Brown, she adopted her mother’s maiden surname when she entered the entertainment industry.
“Actually, my grandma’s brother’s name was Blake, and my sister wrote it down when she was reading a family tree,” Lively shared in a 2006 interview with Radio Free Entertainment.

“And they said, ‘If it’s a boy, we’ll name him Blake, and if it’s a girl, we’ll name her Blakely.’ And everybody thought I was going to be a boy, and then I came out and I was a girl. And they had already been calling me Blake for months because they were positive I was going to be a boy. And they had been calling me Blake for so long, they just [kept it].”
Her father, longtime character actor Ernie Lively, who played her father in both “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” movies, died in June 2021.
Blake’s impeccable style continues to shine, whether on the red carpet or on-screen. A few standout moments from 2010 include her head-turning appearance at the Blue Valentine premiere and her eye-catching fashion choices while filming Gossip Girl in Paris.
