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!
