Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were spotted on the Gossip Girl set last week wearing ensembles that referenced My Fair Lady with the girls channeling Eliza Dolittle, pre and post make-over.

The pre make-over costume that Leighton was wearing does not look like it ever made the runway, but Blake’s post make-over look definitely did, as it was shown on the Spring 2008 runway for Ralph Lauren.


Blake’s dress was modified from the runway version to have navy and white stripped bows on the collar, and skirt of the dress, plus a stripped sash was added around the waist, to make the dress as close to Audrey Hepburn’s Eliza Dolittle’s dress as possible.

I would have loved to have seen Blake in a much bigger hat.


Joy Byrant wore the same Ralph Lauren dress back in January, when she walked the red carpet at the 10th Annual amfAR New York Gala as it appeared on the runway.

Gossip Girl overload, I know, but their wardrobe is so fascinating I have to feature them.

Blake Lively and on-screen mum, Kelly Rutherford, took to the streets of Brooklyn to film some shopping scenes last week, and were papped carrying shopping bags from Barney’s and Henri Bendel.

Blake sported a casual look, which including a v-neck blouse, dark wash Rich & Skinny jeans and pair brown leather booties from Nine West, but what particularly caught my eye was the Celine Watch Me Work bag she was carrying.

The taupe leather shoulder bag has silver hardware for detail, which includes a detachable chain link shoulder strap.

This oversized carryall in beautiful grained leather bag is perfect for everyday chic, which you can also obtain by purchasing this bag from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,100 (currently only in red), and the International site for £1,100/€1,350.

Five-time Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams, wore this white and purple striped Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 blazer, under a Ralph Lauren purple taffeta gown, when she arrived with her trophy at the Champions’ Ball in London back in July.

Blake Lively was spotted on set of Gossip Girl yesterday afternoon, film scenes for the upcoming season wearing the same blazer.

The actress wore her blazer with a white plunge-neck top, dark wash jeans and a pair of knee-length boots.

The blazer very much suits the preppy look that the wardrobe department at Gossip Girl no doubt had in mind for Blake’s Serena van der Woodsen character, but I love the Venus’ blazer/gown combo, so she wins for me.

There is something very ‘Lindsay Lohan’ about Blake Lively’s all white ensemble, and that’s not a good thing.

For the past few months Blake has looked flawless on the red carpet, but she takes many stride backwards in this get up.

I have never been a fan of white jeans, and then she goes and wears her Whitley Kros jeans with a white sheer ruffled halter-neck vintage Ralph Lauren top, which ties at the waist.

She completes the tragedy with white peep-toes shoes. *shudders*

The only redeeming quality is her bracelet.

Leighton Meester surprisingly does not fair much better in her lemon Giambatisa Valli dress, which is not very flattering to her figure.

15 year old Taylor Momsen looked like she has been borrowing clothes from Miley Cyrus’ closet, as she is wearing a ULTRA short Philosophy Spring 2008 sequined dress.

In fact this dress actually appeared on the runway as a top with a skirt.

She looks cute, but that top is way too short to pass off as a dress.

Jessica Szhor looks fantastic wearing an black and white Balenciaga dress, with sculptured hips.

This edgy dress very much suits her sense of style.

Former model Nicole Fiscella channels her inner Tina Turner in this fringed ombre Foley + Corinna dress, with a very deep plunging neckline.

This has to be my favourite dress of the night.

Earlier today I showed you what Leighton Meester was wearing on set of Gossip Girl set last week, so here is what Blake Lively wore.

As Serena van der Woodsen, Blake was wearing this very sexy Black Halo Cutout Jackie O Dress.

The three tone mini dress has a taupe bodice, white waist band and black skirt. The bodice has ruching on the front, and features side cutouts that lead to an open back, to add some extra spice to this already overtly sexy dress.

The flattering lines of the dress accentuate all the best features, which Shopbop.com for only $325.

Blake is lucky that she can wear almost anything and still look fab.

My obsession with the Gossip Girl cast and their wardrobe continues.

Blake Lively was spotted walking to set, wearing a yellow Catherine Malandrino chiffon floral embroidered dress with gold pointy heels and a beautiful gold necklace.

The cut-out floral embroidery is Catherine Malandrino signature, and looks absolutely beautiful on this silk chiffon dress with a deep v-neck.

You can buy this empire lined, layered dress from Net-A-Porter’s US site for $371, or the International site for €359/£284.
