Gossip Girl: Fashion Review of Serena

One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Gossip Girl. One day I hope to be living on the streets of Manhattan just like Blair and Serena, but of course, without all the drama they face on a daily basis. Not only is the TV series a great drama to watch, the fashion sense on the show is defiantly on point. Each outfit is luxurious and sophisticated with a hit of the New York street style pulled in. Serena and Blair have styles so different from one another, but yet each of them looks fashionable and stylish. Today, I will be reviewing the fashion style of Serena by showing some of my favorite outfits from her ranging from everyday style, school style, to wedding dresses!

Serena Van der Woodsen, the female lead played by Blake Lively, is a sweet and outgoing girl who just wants to find her place in her life without making a huge fuss about everything. Her style also represents that as well. While she does dress classy and sophisticated, she also pulls in bohemian and beachy looks as well. Serena rocks the "I didn't try, but I still look like $100" look. 

One of my favorite looks from Serena is in Season 2, where she is seen in a gorgeous white maxi dress paired with all gold jewelry and shoes. This look not only makes her look like a Greek Goddess, it seems as if she didn’t even try at all to pull this off! 

Her school look is pretty relaxed as well, though she is required to wear a tie and a button up shirt for her prestigious school, she always manages to loosen the tie and put a cardigan or leather jacket over the shirt to display a more boho look to the sophisticated outfit. 

One of my favorite classier, chicer look from Serena is when she is in Paris and pulls of a sparkly gold blazer with a white shirt underneath with some gorgeous bright blue cropped pants. This not only makes her already long legs seem so much longer, but also shows off her broad shoulders. This defiantly is a more sophisticated look that Serena pulls off, but she looks stunning! 

Finally, lets talk about her wedding dress. In the final episode, she gets married to Dan (sorry guys, spoiler!) and looks absolutely show stopping in the gold and white ballgown. I didn’t expect such a poofy dress from Serena, but she totally rocked it! The gold pulls in the unique Serena style, but the classic ballgown style still maintains that “wedding dress” tradition.

 For Serena’s makeup, it’s always very natural. She rocks a winged eyeliner every so often, but keeps her eye shadow to a minimum. She looks great in nude or slightly pink lipsticks to complement her tan skin. For Serena’s hair, she usually wears her hair down in natural, beachy waves that give that boho, relaxed vibe. If she’s in a more sophisticated outfit, you can always find her hair pulled all the way back in pony to get all of her hair out of her face. Serena’s fashion sense is mix of boho and sophisticated New York Style, which seems like it would be very difficult to create, but every one of her outfits are gorgeous and put together.
