This Week We're Loving...Gossip Girl Fashion
PA PhotosDitching her place at Brown for a stint as a PR assistant, Serena is still rocking her own brand of sexy, boho luxe on the streets of NYC. Check out this combination of denim cut-offs, an embellished tank top and a Torn by Ronny Kobo suede fringe waistcoat – a guaranteed head-turner, we think.
PA PhotosWith departing Queen Blair out of the picture, ruling Constance is now little Jenny Humphrey’s job. But instead of headbands and twin sets, Jenny – and her minions – work it rock chick style in tough ankle boots, micro mini skirts and roughed up hair.
PA PhotosHilary Duff nabbed a leading GG role this series as Olivia, super-famous movie star, NYU room mate to Vanessa and girlfriend to Dan. Her style? Think off-duty LA starlet, like this LF floral dress (paired with knock-out Giuseppe Zanotti metallic platforms, naturally).
PA PhotosOur favourite Gossip Girls have always loved an excuse to get dressed up, and this season has been no different, what with Lily and Rufus’ wedding, the NYU parents evening, the opening of Chuck’s club and that polo match where Serena galloped off on one of the horses...We heart this J. Mendel navy dress and Christian Louboutin wedges big time.
PA PhotosIn an effort to fit in at new school NYU, Blair kisses goodbye to her trademark headbands (sob!) in favour of a more streetwise look. We snapped Leighton Meester on set in this stripy vest and shorts carrying a very Alexa Chung-esque Mulberry satchel.
PA PhotosBut it’s not all dressing down for Miss Waldorf: she still got to don this to-die-for Reem Acra plum gown. No fair!
PA PhotosNYU freshman Vanessa has certainly pulled her fashion socks up since she swapped the coffee shop for a college dorm. This series, she’s gone all haute hippy on us, going for bohemian pieces like this Nanette Lepore blouse layered over wet look leggings from Diane Von Furstenberg.
PA PhotosWarring with Blair, scheming to get Dan back, being slightly unhinged - it’s all in a day’s work for Georgina (played by Michelle Trachtenberg). She matches her wardrobe to her latest scheme: check out this ruffled Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti dress, perfect for pretending butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
PA PhotosWith the Humphreys firmly settled into Lily’s penthouse at The Plaza, it’s goodbye sewing machine and hello designer goodies for Jenny, whose wardrobe starts to match her 5-star lifestyle. For summer in the Hamptons she wore classic Ray Ban aviators and a Gypsy 05 tie-dye maxi dress.
PA PhotosBlair means business as she helps Chuck open his underground speakeasy in a Milly ruffled top, Malandrino skirt and Suzanne Dai necklace.
PA PhotosThey might have limos taking them door-to-door but the Gossip Girl crew still know how to wrap up for winter in style. Serena layers her electric blue jeans under studded suede boots and a cute cropped military jacket.
PA PhotosWhile we don’t understand how she can afford to wear head-to-toe designer clothes on a student’s salary (so that’s nothing, then!), we’ve got to give Vanessa props for this cosy ‘n’ cool look of a Nanette Lepore dress, Diane Von Furstenberg checked coat, L.A.M.B bag and Brian Atwood ankle boots.
PA PhotosAfter Nate tricked her into helping his family in the election, and Serena told the Buckleys all about it, this pair of former pals aren’t on speaking terms at the moment. Still, at least their style is as strong as ever, with Serena in an Adam by Adam Lippes flower appliqué coat and Topshop denim jeggings.
PA PhotosWhen Chuck opens his speakeasy-style nightclub, the Upper East Side comes over all 1920s. We loved the sequin mini dress, layers of pearls and statement headband Olivia wore for the event – take off the gloves and you have a totally on-trend disco look.
PA PhotosThe old Vanessa may have looked down on Blair’s manipulating ways, but the new Vanessa isn’t afraid of a bit of scheming herself. After she convinced Olivia not to give an important speech at parent’s evening (so she could do it herself, of course), she showed up wearing this colour-popping full length dress and turquoise Simon Tu necklace.
PA PhotosBeing Queen Bee doesn’t come without its downsides – as Jenny found out when she humiliated BFF (and step-brother) Eric to save face in front of her school pals, and his boyfriend Jonathan at Chuck’s club, where she wore a vintage jumpsuit and top hat.
PA PhotosJenny’s come over all rock ‘n’ roll on us since the last series, punking it up á la Joan Jett with a thick fringe, heavily-lined lids, Rag & Bone leather waistcoat and Kimberley Taylor shorts.
WennMmm, labels, labels, labels. The Gossip Girls have always driven us to jealousy with their designer garb, but for season 3, the show’s wardrobe master Eric Daman (Patricia Field’s former protégé) is pulling out all the stops – even Little Jenny Humphrey and Brooklyn girl Vanessa are getting in on the act! First up is Leighton Meester - a.k.a. Queen Bee Blair Waldorf - in this to-die-for Alice + Olivia floral halter dress and patent yellow belt.
WennSerena (played by the lovely Blake Lively) might have packed up her belongings for a life at East Coast university Brown (after a round-the-world trip to find her real father, of course) but that doesn’t mean she’s swapping her Upper East Side wardrobe for typical student rags. She’s pictured in New York in a summer-perfect combination of an embellished Matthew Williamson waistcoat, baggy vest and denim mini – topped with a laidback ponytail.
WennBad girl (or is it good girl now?) Georgina is back and rooming with Blair at NYU this season. Fashion-wise, she’s sticking to her trouble-making uniform of ultra short mini dresses like this asymmetric number, paired with killer heels.
PA PhotosIn a beaded Matthew Williamson dress, colour-popping blue Zara heels and holding a studded green Treesje bag, Serena Van der Woodsen is one lucky teenager.
PA PhotosGasp! The trademark headbands are gone! Could Park Avenue’s prettiest princess be reigning things in now she’s at a ‘glorified state school’ as she put it in season 2? Blair rocks smart chic in a canary yellow crossover top, printed mini skirt and ever-so-cute Tiffany key necklace.
PA PhotosNow Blair and Chuck (played by the über-hot Ed Westwick) have officially said the ‘L’ word, we can’t help but wonder what’s next for them...And while his scarves might be gone (for now), Chuck’s still as dapper as ever in this sharp suit and winklepickers.
PA PhotosThis metallic Elie Tahari floral dress might be gorgeous but we’re still secretly hoping for a return to Blair’s prim and proper outfits sometime soon.
PA PhotosSerena looks like a total knock-out in this not-so-subtle Hervé Leger cut-out body-con dress, paired with a Prada clutch.
PA PhotosNow that’s more like it! Blair’s back to her old self in this vampish red ‘Carmontelle’ dress from Victoria Beckham’s autumn collection (which retails at a budget-blowing £1,595), matched with a Hermès-style python bag, white headband and sexy boyfriend.
PA PhotosIf it wasn’t for the brunette tresses, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was Serena. Blair wears her cut-off denim shorts with a printed pussybow blouse and some classic Chloé canvas wedges.
PA PhotosBack at their old lunch haunt and the scene of many a Constance showdown, the steps of the Met, Serena keeps cool in the New York City heat in a slouchy Alexander Wang vest top and a Chelsea Flower tie dye waistcoat.
WennBlair looks bright and breezy in a striped knit dress by Co-Operative Designs for Henri Bendel, shocking pink heels from the Olsen sisters’ line Elizabeth & James and an Elsa Peretti silver cuff, with a Nancy Gonzalez crocodile satchel in her carefully manicured paws.
PA PhotosIf we’re being honest, the GLAMOUR.COM fashion team are pretty glad we didn’t go to school with Serena Van der Woodsen – she even turns heads in a simple monochrome combination of blazer, vest and leggings. Grrr.
PA PhotosJessica Szohr’s character Vanessa (Dan’s cynical sidekick) might have looked down on the superficial Constance girls, but it looks like she’s slowly morphing into one of them after her travels. In this episode she’s decked out in a super pretty jewelled Nanette Lepore top and MICHAEL by Michael Kors heels.
PA PhotosNow that’s more like it! Best friends/mortal enemies B and S look like they’re firmly BFFs for the moment as they stroll through NYC. Check out Serena’s fabulous Rag + Bone ‘Justine’ maxi dress and Sigerson Morrison t-bar sandals.
WennThe beautiful Blair goes couture crazy in this brocade shift dress from Burberry Prorsum, brogue-ish Michael Perry heels and a L.A.M.B. clutch.
WennAhh young love. Real life couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgely (who plays Serena’s on-off boyfriend and sort-of-half-brother Dan Humphrey) take some time out from filming in his ‘n’ hers casuals.
PA PhotosLittle J is all grown-up in this rock ‘n’ roll blend of super short shorts, stripy tee and fierce Givenchy cut-out heels.
PA PhotosWe’re loving this genius Serena outfit – take note GLAMOUR ladies. Matching a Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent playsuit with a Dries Van Noten floral blazer and Marc by Marc Jacobs peep-toe booties, S’s look is a lesson in the art of perfecting off-duty street style.
WennBlair meets Leighton in this directional body-con Emilio de la Morena dress (complete with oversized houndstooth print) and some peep-toe ankle boots, which reminds us of the actress’ own A-star red carpet choices.
