If you are starting to get excited about prom, and wondering what the perfect dress should look like for this summer, why not take your cue from the stylish cast of Gossip Girl and mimic their Uptown look?
By choosing your favorite character, and thinking about what she usually wears, you can get a sense of how to achieve that look yourself! Dazzle your date, or your friends, with the hottest new prom dress, and don’t forget to pay attention to the overall look. You’ll need to accent your prom dress with great hair, makeup, and accessories. Here is our fun and practical guide to getting the Gossip Girl prom dress look, according to whom your favorite character is!
Blair Waldorf
Are you a bad girl? Do you like to stir it up, and need to be the center of attention? If Blair is your fave Gossip Girl character, you should look for a trendy dress that really makes you stand out. Even though it is a high-fashion look, it should still be very feminine and pretty, because Blair always looks ladylike. You may want to experiment with flowing floral dresses in soft chiffon – similar to the Collette Dinnegan dress Blair wore to one high-society event (hers was in hot/soft pink tones). Her dress went to the knee, but experiment with different lengths to find what works best for you.
You can get the Blair look by combining a soft, elegant floral gown with sharp accessories, to make it all modern. A cute headband in a bright color that matches your gown, a little high-end lipstick (Chanel Glossimer is great for a splurge) in a strong pink shade, and perfect shoes will make you as refined and confident as Gossip Girl’s resident bad girl!
Serena van der Woodsen
Serena always highlights her sleek body type and natural grace with fashion choices that have a touch of simplicity. For example, a great and unconventional prom dress choice for Serena might be a gold minidress with black tights, the type of thing a supermodel would wear to a black tie function. If you have nice legs, like Serena does, and you aren’t afraid to break with formal-gown tradition, consider a Sixties’-inspired minidress, such as the one by Tory Burch that Serena wore in the very first episode. If you do try this look, keep your hair full and loose, and don’t bother with a lot of jewelry, it will only clutter up the look.
Consider some neatly applied eyeliner on your upper lashes, or some other makeup that really puts the focus on your eyes. You’ll need confidence to rock this look. If you are sure of yourself, you will pull it off with style!
Vanessa Abrams
Vanessa isn’t obsessed with labels and status symbols, and her style is earthier and more approachable. There is a handmade element to her clothing, and it looks like she’s worn it often. This artsy, downtown vibe makes her individual, and gives her a little more maturity than Blair and Serena. If you appreciate Vanessa’s style on Gossip Girl, you should look for a Missoni-inspired gown, which will features a woven look, usually in a zigzag pattern. Look for warm tones for an earthy feel, and keep your hair natural, letting it go curly if that is your real texture. You can keep your makeup simple and wear some great heels, maybe a nice sandal in brown leather, but with a high heel, to keep it glam.
We hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for the newest styles for prom dresses! By taking your cue from Gossip Girl, you can really shine on your special night.
