Turning 35 years old can be quite a milestone birthday. You’re much past your 20s; you’re in your mid-30s now, but not quite close to 40 yet. It’s an age when people begin to feel slightly old, but also young enough to still celebrate in whatever way they want to.

Just one day before actress Blake Lively turned the big 3-5 on August 25, she posted a photo of herself on her Instagram, standing by the pool, looking absolutely flawless. She donned a short-sleeved white bikini in front of a backdrop of palm trees that glistened against the background of clouds in the blue skies.

Her caption to the read, “☀️summer lovin’ …had me a blast,” referencing “Summer Nights” from Grease.

When you look this good, of course summer is going to have you a blast!

Fans couldn’t get enough of how amazing Lively looked.

“Ok smoke show,” someone wrote, followed by a “GODDESS ❤️🔥✨🫶🏻” and lots of other positive reactions. Some even wished her a happy birthday.

So how did Lively actually celebrate her birthday, besides looking phenomenal in a bathing suit? According to another Instagram post, she celebrated about a week early by heading off to Disneyland with her sister, Robyn.

“Find me a happier place on earth to start my birthday celebrations early. 💖 I’ll wait…” she captioned her photos highlighting her trip to the theme park in Anaheim, California. She and her sister look like kids in a candy shop, getting to explore all the magical things the park had to offer.

See what we mean? Starting to feel old…but just not old enough. Happy birthday, Blake!
