NEW YORK — “Gossip Girl” Episode 6 of Season 2, “New Haven Can Wait,” is all about Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen – specifically about their competitiveness that drives them apart almost destroying their friendship. It culminates in a big cat-fight between Blair and Serena. When it seems that nothing can salvage their friendship, Blair and Serena somehow manage to reconcile. No wonder, GG still has a few episodes to air.

These events take place at Yale University, but in real life the production company used Columbia University as backdrop while filming this episode.

So, let’s see how the girls stay competitive fashion-wise. XOXO

The above is from Blair Waldorf’s dream. The outfit is the mystery, but something else comes to mind. Who said this: “Ooh, baby, you are so talented! And they are so DUMB!” Obviously, Serena van der Woodsen dominates this scene in her Ralph Laurentiered white dress. Then Blair wakes up wearing an electric blue ruffled halter and sees a photo of Serena on Page Six of “New York Post.” Serena is wearing Diane von Furstenberg Iseletti vest, Nine West IceBlue boots, Rich & Skinny jeans,  Gemma Redux SAS necklace and Celine bag.

NEW YORK — OK, here’s the next brick into our ”Gossip Girl” shrine. 

Let’s take a closer look at GG episode 5, “The Serena Also Rises.” This episode, which happens during New York Fashion Week, definitely stands out. There are lots of apparel and accessories. Interesting, how many mystery items we are going to get? XOXO

NEW YORK – Gossip Girl episode 3, “The Dark Night” premiered two weeks ago, and now, with regretful delay, we are going to fashion-deconstruct it. It’s better late than never, right? XOXO

Jenny Humphrey played by Taylor Momsen gets her hands full with her fashion internship. She is wearing a blue floral dress accessorized with a blue Katherine Kwei tote bag (retails for about $495) and a little peace dove necklace by Alex Woo. Zara has confirmed that Jenny’s dress is from their TRF section from their Spring/Summer 2008 Season.

Serena van der Woodsen played by Blake Lively is wearing in this scene a tie-dye jersey tank top by Young Fabulous & Broke, James Jeans, Havaianas flip-flops, Rebecca Minkoff clutch in sea green. Meanwhile Dan Humphrey played by Penn Badgley wears Ted Baker top and Levi’s Jeans.

Celebrities are being photographed pretty much everywhere they go, 24/7. Celebrities may even feel little pressure to look their best at all times to avoid entertainment web sites and weekly magazines publish their unflattering pictures. So, when celebrities want to look extra chic, they wear fancy evening dresses – but they usually tone down the effect with carefully chosen styling elements.

Let’s see how some of the stars make their evening dresses look a bit more casual by day while they are running errands.

Rihanna pairs her funky Catherine Malandrino sequined mini dress with a piece of luggage (left photo). Elsewhere, Rhianna hides her bedazzling red sequined dress under black blazer. Rhianna’s Chanel Diamante jelly sandals contribute to her casual look. Rihanna is not the only celebrity who likes to cover her dresseses.

Fergie, Sienna Miller and Christina Rcci have done this too.
