Style of Blair and Serena



 While watching the American series entitled “Gossip Girl” one is immediately drawn into the magic world of the Upper East Side young group of friends, their love problems, dilemmas and sudden twists. The plot  is unpredictable and one is never sure what will happen next. We don’t know if the characters will follow their heart or instincts while choosing school, changing boyfriends or quarrelling with friends. Yet, I think that this is not the most important reason why people from all over the world watch the movie with their mouths agape. 
The most astonishing and awe-inspiring thing is, of course, the wardrobe of the two female protagonists- Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen, respectively played by Leighton Meester and Blake Lively.  They are performing as the girls from higher spheres of society and they are mostly wearing clothes designed by the fashion icons. The most recognizable names who work for “Gossip Girl” are Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, Christian Louboutin, Karl Lagerfeld and many, many more. Also, less known creators try to promote their ideas and designs in the production. There is no better advertisement for the new brand than to present the clothes on those two gorgeous girls.
Blair is a delicate but at the same time refined girl form a stable family and so is her style. She used to live in a comfortable and specious house, having a maid for all whims and caprices. She is an alluring brunette with almond-shaped eyes. It is easily visible that she is inspired by the Hollywood stars such as Audrey Hepburn and the world of smartness and elegance which she presented while playing in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Moreover, she seems to be impressed by the 20’s so the Jazz Era and the plumages, bowler hats and mittens. Blair takes advantage of pearls, headbands and glamorous dresses either very long or up to knees.
 Not only does she put emphasis on colors but also on patterns like checkered or floral. When there is a school day, she dresses in a girly, fresh but still elegant  and conservative way. She likes skirts, chemises, jackets or coats with lapels.  As the day progresses and she has to attend some party or banquet, her style becomes more sophisticated. She chooses haute couture outfits. They have to be spectacular, gleaming and with accordance to the newest trends in a fashion industry. The creations are complemented by classic, high heels.

Whereas Blair is a bit like taken from an another epoch, Serena seems to epitomize all the features of a modern “it girl”. Being surrounded by the world of luxury and handsome men, she possesses the quality “it” so in other words, she immediately draws attraction. Her style is totally different than Blair, as she is girlish, seductive and very up-to-day. She is a representant of street style as she is not afraid of mixing the clothes form high- fashion designers with more casual brands. The clothes reflect her mood, so you never knows if she presents more casual or elegant outfit. 
Serena sometimes wears tight-fitting and sometimes  loose-fitting clothes but mostly takes an advantage of beige and subdues colors. Being an attractive blonde with pale complexion, she prefers soft and silky textures but with a stronger accent like sequins or big and colorful jewelry. When she hangs out with friends she puts the emphasis on the mixture of comfort and fashion and usually wears tight jeans or leggings with women’s shirt or long- sleeved cardigans. When it comes to evening, she likes classic dresses either very long and sophisticated or short and sexy but whatever option she chooses, Serena is faithful to standard nude or black heels in stead of wearing platforms chunky or sparkling heels.

What style is better, more up-to-date and relevant to look like a million dollar star? Is it graceful and chick of Blair Waldorf or casual but simultaneously tempting style of Serena van der Woodsen? Whatever option you choose you can win and lose at the same time, so maybe the golden mean is to combine them both? I am really curious what do you think about it!
