“America Ferrara, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel — those are three women who I met when I was 16 years old and I’ve been lucky to call them my friends and mentors ever since,” Lively said at the time.
TheGossip Girlalum said that she admires how herSisterhoodcostars stand up for what they believe in.
“What they do — whether artistically, politically, socially, personally — they really use their voice,” she said. “And whether people agree with their voice or not is not the thing that I’m most concerned with as much as, it’s nice to see women who are not only empowering themselves but empowering other women to stand up and to really fight and work for what they believe in.”

Where is Amber’s crimp & curl now? Was anyone’s hair color natural? 2000’s, you were messy, but magical. Happy 16 years of #sisterhoodofthetravelingpants.”
