Blake Lively Just Took Her Braid Game to the Next Level, and We're in Love

It's obvious to anyone who's ever seen her that Blake Lively has the most amazing mane in Hollywood. The star's versatile golden locks look polished chic in any style, from beachy waves to sleek strands. But her hair's crowning glory is how magnificent it looks in braids.

We've already DIYed some of Blake's best plaits, but this style created by hair god Rod Ortega makes us want to bow down in awe . . . then lock ourselves in the bathroom with texturizing paste and bobby pins. For a "nature-inspired hair series," Ortega whipped up this huge, messy braid. It looks like a take on a french plait, with large pieces being pulled out to create a knotted, bohemian effect. We've reached out to the stylist for more information on how to re-create the style and will report back!

We're looking forward to seeing more of the pair's pictures from their nature series, because thanks to her incredible hair, Blake is basically the incarnation of a woodland nymph. Here's hoping that flowers, leaves, and vines get woven through her strands for the most magical mane inspiration of all time. Read on to get a closer look.
