Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “Pretty In Pink”

By Francesca Claybrook

Oh Gossip Girl, your timing is impeccable.  Just in time for the royal wedding (seriously, has anyone not got Kate Middleton on the brain?) you introduce a prince/commoner union of your own.  Welcome back, Louis.  In celebration of this, Blair seems to have returned to her Marie Antoinette phase, while Serena continues to spend time in her sparkle phase.  This time, though, I really loved both her shirt and her sweater (pictured above) – although it’s not necessarily what I’d have chosen for a bakery tour of Manhattan, I still want them both.  I’d also take Charlie’s leopard scarf.  And I’m so glad the costume designers have kept Raina in these bold bright colors, because they look absolutely amazing with her skin tone.

And then, the inevitable end-of-show party returned, with a twist this time (spoiler alert):  it’s broken up by the cops!  Everyone grudgingly showed up to Lily’s apartment wearing their best pink attire, including Dan in what is actually a pretty fantastic pale pink tie.  I was a big fan of Blair’s dress at first, but when I saw the entire skirt I wasn’t as in love with it.  Check it out:

Her Marie Antoinette phase has definitely returned!  It’s completely Blair to channel the most famous French queen who ever lived thanks to her new handsome royal boyfriend, isn’t it?  Meanwhile, I was all about Serena’s pink dress – I liked the color on her and the textured patterns and cutout back added a lot of interest.  I’m not much of a pink person, and even I was coveting it, until I realized:

it’s a cute pink dress with a giant butt bow.  Never mind.
As they remind us in the preview for next week, only two episodes left until the finale and I think they’re going to be good ones.  Until then, I leave you with this:

Oh Vanessa no.
