Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) had some of the best looks on his show. His precocious and bad boy fashion choices always made him look polished and put together, reflecting his personality. Chuck was often seen wearing bold suits, complete with ascots, pocket squares and cufflinks, bringing a sense of wealth and class to the streets of the Upper East Side. However, his most obvious accessory was the scarves. A well-tied scarf can tie together any of his looks, becoming synonymous with his character. Like his signature J. Press scarf, seen in season one.
9 Chuck and Blair as a couple
The King and Queen of the Upper East Side. Although their relationship had its ups and downs, to say the least, Chuck and Blair (Leighton Meester) are the ultimate OTP. The two have a stellar wardrobe full of designers and as a couple, their bold and prepared looks really stand out among the other characters. Like Chuck, Blair is always dressed to impress, sporting bright colors, bright prints, designer bags and shoes and, of course, a headband to match. Whenever they’re together, Chuck and Blair look ready for Vogue.
8 Serena and Blair’s backless dresses
Who doesn’t love a coordinated look with their boyfriend? In the first season, episode four, Blair and Serena (Blake Lively) steal a bunch of clothes from a photo shoot after Serena is accused of stealing attention from Blair. After the bad feedback, B. and S. decided to do their photo shoot together in NYC. The duo sported red and blue backless dresses by Abigail Lorick, paired with thin belts and gold pumps. It’s a scene from the show that’s incredibly memorable, and seeing two of the show’s main characters parading around town in matching outfits makes Blair and Serena’s friendship feel so real.
7 Serena’s wedding dress
Of course, Serena van der Woodsen’s wedding dress would be elegant and high fashion. Even better, she sported her signature color throughout the show, gold. During her small wedding with her love interest, Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), Serena rocks a beautiful Georges Chakra gown that completely commands the room. It’s like the dress was made for her and manages to capture her personality and fashion sense throughout the show in a gorgeous outfit.
6 Blair’s red dress
In the second episode of the fourth season, Chuck and Blair are at odds, although they are still in love with each other. Chuck has left for Paris, staying with another woman, planning to leave and change his identity, when Serena convinces Blair to intercept him at the train station and convince him to return to NYC after learning that he was planning to propose before things fell apart. . The emotion in the train station scene is so heavy and the delivery is beautiful, as is the stunning red Oscar de la Renta dress Blair is wearing. It’s one of the most stunning dresses Blair wears on the show, and if this were a list of Blair’s best looks, it would definitely be at the top of the list.
5 Jenny’s Grunge style
Of the entire cast, Jenny’s (Taylor Momsen) style was the most dynamic. She starts out as a shy high school student who just wants to fit in, so most of her fashion is a copy of what Blair and her group of friends wear. But later in the series, she finds herself. Instead of copying the preppy fashion typical of the Upper East Side, she develops an edgy, grunge style, complete with lots of DIY accessories, as well as her own designs as she begins to pursue her fashion career. until Gossip girl much loved for its high fashion, New York feel, Jenny’s style is unique and a welcome breath of fresh air.
4 Upper East Side Coat Collection
After the steamy summer, it gets cold in NYC. So the cast of Gossip Girl obviously needed a huge collection of autumn/winter clothes. There was no shortage of trendy cool weather looks on the Upper East Side, but the coat catalog really takes the cake. From leather jackets to the occasional Burberry trench, everyone’s favorite New Yorkers stay warm in style. Truth be told, some of the best and most easily recreated looks from the show come from various fall/winter styles. Like Jenny’s mint coat and purple accent bag from season one or Blair’s bright green winter coat paired with bright yellow pumps.
3 Blair’s Wedding Dress
Gossip girl saw many weddings throughout the series. And even though it was rushed and chaotic, Chuck and Blair’s wedding was so romantic and special. It’s been a long time coming for this unique, over-the-top couple, so of course Blair’s wedding dress had to be as unique and special as the wedding itself. For the impromptu wedding in Central Park, Blair wore an icy blue, lace dress by Elie Saab. It’s a perfect take on Blair’s character, combining classic glamor and high fashion. Chuck compliments her dress by wearing a white tuxedo and – just like their streetwear looks as a couple – they go together perfectly. If anyone can ditch the standard white wedding dress and make it fashionable, it’s Blair Waldorf.
2 Wedding dress by Serena
Although Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) and Bart Bass (Robert John Burke) as a couple were controversial at best, their combined wealth and status made for a very opulent wedding ceremony. Lily’s dress was certainly gorgeous, but the real star of the show was Serena. She wore a striking yellow, tiered, Ralph Lauren dress with a light floral print. The long dress, silhouette, keyhole accent and high neckline make this a dress that few people can pull off, but Serena van der Woodsen is certainly one of them. She teamed it with a set of little black gloves, making it the chicest wedding look of the series.

When people think about gossip girl, Images of Blair, Serena and other students at Constance eating yogurt and pouring tea on the steps of the Met are what first come to mind. B., S. and their groups of followers were known for raising the school uniform. However, Blair really led the pack on this front. From tight colored pants to designer bags and coats, Blair brought an unmatched sense of pizzazz to her school looks. And of course, you can’t forget Blair Waldorf’s signature headband. Blair had a headband that went with almost any outfit, and the accessory became an identifying part of her character and led to an off-screen trend at the time. School uniforms – like most things – were made cool by Blair Waldorf.
