Hello fashionistas! Today we’re checking out what fashions the leading ladies of Gossip Girl Season 5 have been wearing. Cut to designer cocktail dresses, luxury handbags and let’s face it top designer everything. We’re going to keep you posted regularly on the hottest looks and fashionable fun we see on the show. So, check out this edition of What She Wore: Gossip Girl Season 5 Fashion Update.
Blair Waldorf

Wedding boutiques better stock up on Theia Fall 2011 wedding gowns because it’s what Blair wore on the premiere episode of Gossip Girl. She looked like a bride straight out of a Shakespeare sonnet.

With Blair’s style, less is definitely more. She’s wearing an Oscar De La Renta gown from the SS 2011 collection. This elegant floral print strapless dress is fitted at the top and parachutes at the bottom into a high low ascending hem. Blaire’s gown is accessorized with an orange snakeskin designer clutch.

Blair is wearing a more casual look in this jewel print Moschino Cheap & Chic dress. The dress is normally a knee length, so what we see is a little set stylist trick on how to make a conservative dress sexy. Trick number one, tailor the dress to mini length according to actress’s height. Trick number two, use the excess fabric to accessorize the dress further, for example create a bow or belt for and add to the dress as seen above. And presto, instant Gossip Girl glam!
Serena van der Woodsen

Above Serena is wearing a crisp white luxury tank top by Rag & Bone, open front black and white beaded city chic vest by Theyskens Theory, a floor length maxi skirt with an intricate feather design by Rag & Bone, accessorized with mixed ocean blue precious stone pivot bracelets by MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza and a stunning Rockstud Python luxury tote by Valentino.

Next Serena wore a yellow and peach iridescent sleeveless mini wrap dress by Mike Gonzalez, paired with a large beaded flower statement necklace by Noir, with brown peep toe gladiator sandals by Roger Vivier and green luxury Louis Vuitton Vernis Alma status bag.

Serena always manages to look bright and sunny on the Gossip Girl show. Pictured above she’s wearing a super edgy studded silk tank top by Maje Cream, paired with the crème de la crème of Alice and Olivia dresses (Alice + Olivia Shannon Printed Maxi) a pleated maxi dress skirt. She also wore some subtle color blocking by adding a turquoise statement necklace completing her look.
Paris Fashion Week has wrapped and we have a mix of highlights from the SS 2012 Paris events. Who went, who rocked and who flopped. Stand outs during Paris fashion week were Lanvin and Dior and we also spotted some front row fashionistas at the show. Check out our mini recap below.

The SS 2012 Lanvin runway show was exciting as usual with a few surprises. Above we see an Olive colored deep v-neck silk gown with a sheer bottom. We’ve seen this design do very well with Gucci and feel it will do well with other lines.

Fierce and elegant this sheer bottom, belted, cut out maxi dress sported an original looking upper body design. We can’t see it in the photo, but the back is cut out as well.

Above is a different variation on the typically long sheer maxi dress. We see a black deep v-neck, belted, knee length dress with a sheer bottom. Very sexy.

Next we see that edgier side of Lanvin. The black bordered white knee length skirt and the long sleeve peek-a-boo blouse are fierce in every since of the word.

Last but not least is the above front slit skinny belted dramatic v-neck knee length wrap dress. This garment just looks wearable which is what we like about it. This one can definitely go from runway to rack without a doubt.

Next is the SS 2012 Christian Dior runway. Above we begin with this sheer bottom flowing gown with intricate strappy top. Again we feel like we’ve seen this before with Gucci in the fall, but seeing it again isn’t so horrible.

Leather dresses have absolutely been trending lately and it looks like Dior expects this trend to carry over to next spring. This tan colored sheath dress with pleated bottm has an interesting mosaic trim on the sleeves and hem of the dress. We love the detail.

Next the above pictured classical looking dress is something we expect to see on the red carpet. The chiffon vertical ruffles give this dress a 1940’s elegant appealing look.

Last but not least from the Dior collection is this long fairytale flowing white gown with black ribbon waist detailing.

A Fashion Week wouldn’t be complete without Rachel Zoe. The front row fashionista attended Barbara Bui’s SS 2012 showing. Upon returning home from sweeping all of the fashion shows this month, Zoe travelled with an outrageous 13 bags of luggage. Somebody’s a happy little fashionista!

From showing in New York to viewing in Paris Mary-Kate and Ashley were front row fashionistas spotted at the Montaigne Market store. The famous fashion duo are Fashion Week staples at any fashion event. It’s always a treat to see them come out.

Salma Hayek was a front row fashionista at Paris Fashion Week. She was in attendance at her father in law’s Balenciaga SS 2012 runway show. For the first time sitting front row was less appealing seeing as how the front bench broke and all of fashion’s elite had to stand. I bet they’ll think twice before they laugh at a model that loses her balance on the runway again. Karma!



We all know that Hello Kitty girls love nerds, so it’s only fitting that Hello Kitty lovers sport a somewhat geeky looking Hello Kitty cat on front of a preppy quarter sleeved crew neck sweater from the HK Forever 21 collection.
