Spotted: A Hilarious “Gossip Girl" Wardrobe Malfunction
Good morning, Upper East Siders! Gossip Girl here with a hilarious blooper from the sixth season that has recently been discovered by an eagle-eyed TikTok user. Are you ready to learn S's sartorial secrets?
As noted by E! News, TikTok user @skyehanamaikai was rewatching the show, as one does from time to time, when they noticed something a bit odd about Serena's outfit in one scene of Season 6, Episode 4, "Portrait of a Lady Alexander." S is seen storming out of a lunch date with Dan (AKA LonelyBoy) in a very 2012 tangerine bandage dress, sky-high platform pumps, and a snakeskin bag — quite the Serena van der Woodsen look if there ever was one — and you can see she's rocking bare legs. However, when the camera cuts back to her at a closer angle, there's something different about Serena's look: a pair of sweatpants is clearly visible under the dress, just pulled down a bit. OMG! Scandalous. You just know Blair would be horrified by such a garment, but honestly, if anyone can pull off a bandage dress with sweatpants, it's the golden girl of the Upper East Side.
While we can't believe the blooper made it past the editing room, it does make sense why S would be rocking sweatpants. If you've ever seen behind-the-scenes pics from movie and TV shoots, actors tend to get comfy between scenes, often rocking Uggs and sweats when they're not on camera, especially if it's chilly outside. That's probably what happened here, but we can't believe no one spotted Blake Lively's choice of classic black sweats after filming wrapped.
A new version of the beloved series is currently in the works for HBO Max, and fans were thrilled to hear that the original costume designer, Eric Daman, will return for the reboot to undoubtedly usher in new trends and put his signature spin on private school uniforms. (No, seriously, what was the dress code at St. Jude's and Constance Billard?)
The original series has been front and center lately, thanks to many fans currently re-watching at home, along with a silly viral meme that recently took over social media. It's proof that you can take never really leave the Upper East Side, and that the magic of Gossip Girl will always delight us in years to come.
