Hey Gossip Girl fans – I’ll be doing a weekly style update of each episode’s best (and, let’s be honest, maybe worst) outfits after each episode. I have to say, Gossip Girl made it easy on me this week – I felt like there weren’t many costume changes throughout the episode, making it much easier to pick my favorites. The theme seemed to be black and sequined this week. First up, Little J. I liked the spiderweb-y dress she wore to the ambassador’s dinner, but what I loved was the fact that someone took pity on her and gave her dramatic smoky eyes rather than the intense black eyeliner she used to wear. Blair wore black sequins to the ambassador’s dinner as well, in the form of a jacket that was actually kind of matronly – I know she’s settled down with Chuck, but I would rather have seen more of the gown she had on underneath, because it looked so chic – black, with one sleeve and a little bit of beading. Serena’s dress to the dinner was also black and, in true Serena style, much more revealing than the other characters’ dresses and not my favorite. Overall though, I’d have to say the winner is Jenny Humphrey’s makeup artist, for finally giving Taylor Momsen attractive eye makeup. The girl is gorgeous – let’s keep her looking that way!
