The cast of “Gossip Girl” always appear to be going to some charity gala, or red carpet event that requires a luscious gown.

Taylor Momsen had an early start filming at the ‘French Society of Art and Culture’ in New York City this morning, but she kept away the chill wearing a Moschino Fall 2009 safety pin and studded embellished coat.

Under that coat was a stunning Andrew GN Fall 2009 black sequin gown which is recognisable by the web-like detail on the bodice.

I love her updo in these pictures – très chic. I also love her antique-style fan earrings.

I’d be in heaven spending the day in the wardrobe department on this show. I hope these girls realise how lucky they are get to wear these great pieces. *jealous*

I can’t wait to see this gown on the show, as it was one of my favourites from Andrew GN’s Fall 2009 collection.

Chace Crawford was also on set looking devilishly handsome.

Cate Blanchett was shot by Annie Leibovitz for the December 2009 issue of Vogue US looking like a goddess or a beautiful Oscar statue wearing a golden strapless Donna Karan gown.

The rest of the editorial sees the actress wearing Armani Prive, Oscar de la Renta and the same Valentino dress we’ve seen on Victoria Beckham’s Elle October 2009 editorial and Rose Byrne on the red carpet at the 2009 Emmy Awards.

If you are having a touch of de ja vu looking at Cate’s editorial, that’s because it’s very very similar to the editorial which was also shot by Annie Leibovitz for the February 2009 issue of Vanity Fair.

Here are some extracts from her interview:

On career choices: “I’m not very cautious or careful. It’s always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory.”

I see trouble ahead for the rumoured Victoria Beckham Collection Spring 2010 campaign girl.

In an interview with Allure magazine, Victoria Beckham said “Don’t have all your legs out and all your boobs out. Cover something up”.

Ooops Blake obvisoulsy doesn’t live by that rule, and why should she when she looks this fabulous.

The Gossip Girl actress looked stunning wearing a beautiful bow-fronted Marchesa Spring 2010 white embroidered blazer with black shorts.

J’Adore.  She can’t do wrong for me at the moment.

Sophia Bush was covered up wearing a Helmut Lang powder print dress, but that didn’t stop her looking any less fabulous.

I’m glad to see Sophia is not sticking to the obvious labels and trying something new for a refreshing change, as it helps her stand out from all the Hollywood starlet Herve Leger wearing clones.

Sophia and I obviously have the same taste, as I added this dress to my favourites this week.

Julianne Moore’s Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010 tuxedo jacket-like draped dress is soften without the sleeves.

I really like the modification, but if she was going to wear tights that thick she might as well have stuck with the original runway version.

Writer/director Rebecca Miller wasn’t about to be outdone by these actresses.

She also glammed for this screening by donning a very chic tailored Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2009 keyhole black dress with a red floral design, a high collar and gathered sleeves.

European actresses Marion Cotillard and Penelope Cruz seemed to be inseparable, as I couldn’t find a picture of them apart.

Cruz wore head-to-toe black, whereas Marion stood out by wearing a taupe dress with embellished details.

I much preferred Robin Wright Penn as a blonde.

I understand she wants to ‘wash that man right outta her hair’, but brunette was not the way forward for her.

What’s with all the drastic colour changes lately?  First McPhee, now Robin.

Also the Herve Leger dress isn’t really doing anything good for her.

Victoria Beckham continues to collect those airmiles as she made another visit to London last week.

The frequent flyer donned her usual airport attire – head-to-toe black – but something was different.

Her usual Hermes Birkin bag was replaced by a sandy Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 messenger bag.

VB loves LV.

It’s a very usual choice for Victoria especially considering she was supposed to be anti-fur, and because the messenger bag it doesn’t really seem to suit her style.

I shouldn’t be complaining as I wished for her to switch things up, and it looks like she’s trying to do that.

I loved this bag in the purple, but what do you think?

Yah or Nay on VBs LV bag.
