Blake Lively brought Serena Van Der Woodsen back to life in a nostalgic fashion moment during New York Fashion Week at the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2024 show. Serena, the character who left an enduring mark on fans during the Gossip Girl series from 2007 to 2012, owes much of her allure to the captivating portrayal by Blake Lively and the character’s sultry style that resonates in both her signature ensembles and designer outfits.
A decade after Gossip Girl wrapped up, Blake Lively, embodying the iconic Serena, reanimated the spirit of the wealthy heiress at the Michael Kors event. Stepping into the front row, Lively showcased a seventies-inspired jumpsuit from the American fashion house, a sartorial nod to Serena’s glamorous persona.
Lively donned a gold sequined jersey bell-bottom jumpsuit, complemented by a slender waist belt enhancing her disco-inspired silhouette. Paired with a matching clutch and styled with voluminous waves, her look transported onlookers to a reminiscent moment from Gossip Girl’s Season 5 episode, “Rhodes to Perdition.” In that particular scene, Serena, eagerly anticipating a Studio 54 party in honor of her maternal grandmother Cece, appeared on screen with a golden mane and a dazzling dress featuring a plunging neckline. This carefully chosen ensemble stands as one of Serena van der Woodsen’s most iconic outfits, solidifying her status as a fashion icon.
