A Look Back at Gossip Girl‘s Finest Fashion Moments

It’s official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head.

Of course, what we’ll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first “XOXO” way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters’ signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise.

Between Blair’s preppy headbands, Chuck’s dandy suits, and Serena’s gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here’s a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.

Quote of the Day: Before  Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester Says She ‘Dressed Like a Homeless Person’
Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day: Before Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester Says She ‘Dressed Like a Homeless Person’

“Before the show I dressed like a homeless person. I used to buy everything at garage sales. It was hard to give up! I’d be like, ‘But this crazy sweater is amazing, and it only cost 25 cents!’”

Leighton Meester to Lucky on her thrifty pre-Gossip Girl wardrobe. With Blair Waldorf and the other Upper East Siders (and of course, that lowly Brooklynite Dan) going on a permanent Hamptons holiday after next season–sobbing, btw–will Leighton be returning to her hobo ways?

Fashion News Roundup: Tough Times for Ungaro, Date Set for Fashion’s Night Out 2012, and Designers are Putting Dragons on Everything

Ungaro Can’t Catch a Break: It hasn’t been a good start to 2012 for Emanuel Ungaro, which announced that, in addition to not being able to deliver its spring collection to retailers, it also won’t be presenting a fall collection at fashion week and has canceled all appointments for pre-fall. Current owner Asim Abdullah vaguely stated that the brand is going through an “internal reorganization” that will allow for Ungaro to become “profitable in the near future.” Hmm… This seems suspiciously (and perfectly) timed for former Ungaro guest-designer Lindsay Lohan’s 2012 comeback. Coincidence? {WWD}

Fashion’s Night Out is September 6: Yep, it’s happpppennning… Fashion’s Night Out 2012 will be Thursday, Sept 6. Mark your [Blackberry/iPhone] calendars! {Fashionista Inbox}

Christian Siriano’s Bridal Debut: Check out the Project Runway alum’s first bridal design, part of an exclusive collection he’s doing for Nordstrom. While the gown in no hot tranny mess, it definitely looks a bit tamer than what we’re used to seeing from the fierce designer. Here’s hoping he goes all out on the rest of the looks. {Glamour}

Lucky Shops Is Happening This Weekend: The Bargains You Can Score, What the Celebs Bought and Styling Advice From Mary Alice Stephenson

Last night’s Lucky Shops VIP shopping night was a bit of stylish mayhem in the middle of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. I estimate there were at least a zillion people in attendance, all carrying reusable Lucky shoppers loaded with discounted designer duds and nibbling away at the most adorable miniature hors d’oeuvres I’ve ever seen. A decent smattering of celebs mingled amongst the crowd as well, also scouring the racks for deals and trying on sparkly costume jewelry.

There were two whole floors of excellent bargains, with most stalls offering 30 – 50% off of retail prices, and some even more.
