It's only natural for your style to evolve as you get older. Certain items will still look chic for decades, but others get tossed to the wayside as you mature—something Blake Lively certainly knows a thing or two about. In an interview with InStyle, Lively was asked how her style has changed over the years, and she revealed one item, in particular, that she'll never revisit in her 30s: babydoll dresses.

"I think [my style has] changed more as I’ve gotten older," Lively told InStyle. "There are lots of cute little babydoll dresses in my closet from my early 20s that I know I'm not going to wear them again because I'm not in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. I really need to adopt the Marie Kondo method, but I haven't yet because everything in my closet still sparks joy. My style is, hopefully, becoming more elegant over time, but I still like pink and some frills." So there you have it: She's replacing babydoll dresses with more elegant looks now that she's in her 30s. Scroll down to revisit how she wore the trend in her 20s and how her style has evolved today.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
