Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: Pretty, Pretty Princess?
Steve Marsi at .Gossip Girl's 100th episode, the aptly-titled "G.G.", left many screaming at their television on Monday night for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, that crazy b!tch Georgina is supposedly Gossip Girl in the flesh?
That thought is still brewing in our brains. Secondly, way to go Eleanor! Thirdly, Blair running out of the church ... and not to Chuck. Also, that creepy Louis! Not to mention, Humphrey as B’s get-a-way driver.
Let’s just say, we rewound, we pressed play. We rewound and watched again and again ... and again.
Through the hysterics and Blair having a Carrie moment (suffocating in her dress!) - everything was really stunning, with the exception of the new princess’ hair, that is - that was a royal don’t. Sorry, B.
Customized for the Queen B herself (no doubt due to Leighton’s relationship with Vera), this classic sheath consisted of not one, not two, not even three, but four layers of hand-laid lace.
A pure stunner, Blair looked elegant, though with that horrific tiara and those limp locks (come back Season 1-3 hair!) the allure fell a bit short for us.
Actual Dress: Vera Wang "Gisele" Gown
S would be a Marilyn. If ANYONE, she would be a Marilyn.
She played the part well, though her lip-syncing wasn’t all that stellar. A bright hued mermaid gown and a boatful of “diamonds,” and a plethora of gorgeous men - we’ll take this dream any day.
Actual Dress: Redux Charles Chang-Lima One-Shoulder Mermaid Gown
Steal Dress: LM Collection Poppy Long Evening Dress
A little too far-fetched with the headpiece, Georgina made long-awaited appearance in an encrusted trench coat with her husband and Milo in tow. The wrath she scorns, we don’t want to walk in her path.
Actual Trench: Burberry Gem Embellished Trench Coat
Steal Trench: Dover Trench Coat
Actual Pump: YSL Tribtoo Pump
Steal Pump: Chinese Laundry Nightlight Glitter
We will be the first ones to admit when B looks gorgeous, which she does most of the time. But Serena kinda stole the show in this wedding. She looked phenomenal, that’s all there is too it.
A peony-hued, one shouldered, cascading stunner paired perfectly with her natural makeup and her adorable 'do (did anyone catch the hair bow?!). Dan doesn’t know what he’s missing. We’re about to start whispering Nate’s name.
Actual Dress: Vera Wang Spring 2011 Farrah Gown
Steal Dress: Dessy Chiffon Strapless Gown
Actual Earrings: Dana Rebecca Stud Earrings
Steal Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane Round Floating Earrings
As for the bridesmaids ... horrendous. The dresses are beyond brilliant in theory, but poorly executed. And though they scream royal minions, these girls can’t carry it. A little too-much rosette for us, however the color was so subtle and feminine, it softened the blow a bit.
Actual Dresses: Vera Wang for David’s Bridal
Steal Dresses: Alfred Sung Halter Ruffle Neck Dress
Eh? Sequins, okay ... but this does not say scary. Powerful, maybe, but nothing to write home about, after all Georgina is supposed to be the one to fear, right?
Actual Dress: Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 Sequin Tank Dress
Steal Dress: DV by Dolce Vita Peaches Open Back Sequin Dress
Actual Pumps: YSL Tribtoo Pump
Steal Pumps: Chinese Laundry Bossa Nova C Leather
Needless to say, we’re pumped for next Monday’s episode ... Blair in an I LOVE NY shirt and a hoodie is enough for us to go on. What would the Queen say?
