Scandals can’t keep the strong down: Blake Lively [SLIDESHOW]

You can’t expect perfection from anyone, even actress Blake Lively, who was Hollywood’s cheerful good girl until last week, when alleged nude photos of her surfaced on the Internet.

Though her rep claimed the images were not of Lively and threatened to sue any publication that reprinted them, more pics were soon released, causing many to see that Lively might not be the scandal-free starlet that everyone wanted her to be.

“Internet chatter about the authenticity of her upper body or rumors of a possible romance with Ryan Gosling following her breakup with Penn Badgley is about as bad as her P.R. gets,” the New York Times wrote of Lively earlier this year.

Her circumstances have since changed, but we remember her as the fresh new face of Chanel, cutie pie from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” tough cookie of “Gossip Girl,” and faithful fashionista. We’re also happy to hear she’s been hanging out with “Inception” heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. Anything to help her move on from long-time beau Penn Badgley.

Because we don’t believe in forcing others to live up to unrealistic expectations, here’s a slideshow of Glamour’s July cover girl, who we love no matter what.
