Blake Lively in Bikini's in Vogue June Issue

"She's a terrific role model for young women: sporty, healthy, family-minded, and effortlessly lovely." Wintour added. Blake Lively, the Gossip Girl star, covers the June issue of Vogue.

According to thehollywoodgossip.com's Free Britney, "She is not an unattractive female, which may be why it's her third appearance in just over two years."

American actress Blake Lively was born on August 25, 1987 in Tarzana, CA. The youngest of five children, Blake's first big role came in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005.

The following year, Blake had a major role in the comedy Accepted. Blake's big break came when she was cast in the popular television series Gossip Girl in 2007. Most recently, Lively reprised her role as Bridget in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

"Lively has been in Vogue before, when Gossip Girl made its initial dent in the popular psyche in March 2008; for her cover with Mario Testino and Tonne Goodman, in February 2009; and as style icon du jour for New York socials in March 2010." said Anna Wintour, giving the following explanation for Blake's repeat presence.

Lively is currently shooting The Green Lantern in New Orleans, and in the Vogue spread she dons various swimsuits and wetsuits while surfing in San Diego.

The only issue? "I haven't lived in California for so long," she told the magazine, "My New York guise is gone. Ostrich flats don't really work on the beach!"
