5 Iconic ‘Gossip Girl’ Trends That Still Slay Today

It's been almost 15 years since Gossip Girl premiered and our adoration for Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) blossomed. Sure, we were hooked on their juicy NYC drama from the very first episode, but their wardrobe choices are what really drew us in. Blair's high-fashion prep look and Serena's polished-eclectic vibe inspired us to test out a slew of trends back in 2007, and with rental subscriptions like Nuuly's Modern Prep edit, you can try out the craziest pieces without the commitment. You can still rock a lot of their signature styles and to prove it, we rounded up pieces from our favorite retailers to help you channel your inner Upper East Side fashion icon.

Bold Florals

Sometimes, the bolder, the better. Right? This is basically the motto Blair swore by with her eye-catching floral looks, like this summer sundress.
