Hard as it is to believe, the original
Gossip Girl was released before Instagram notched up its first like, so that already sets it well apart from its successor. And, in an interesting piece of casting, Tavi Gevinson, who rose to fame as the tweenage editor of fashion blog and magazine
Rookie, now 25, plays one of the teachers at the fictional Constance Billard School. Since the new show premiered, fan fashion sites including @gossipgirlstyleguide have begun springing up, guiding viewers on how to bag the show’s outfits IRL. What we know is that an orange dress and black catsuit by Australian designer Alex Perry appear in the first episode. The dress is currently 50 per cent off at Net-a-Porter, though it will still set you back AU$1600 (NZ$1694).

In Year 11, I decided I was too good for regulation school shoes, and convinced my mother to buy me a pair of Doc Martens “eight ups”. Wearing boots was not OK according to the rules of my private school, so each day, I had to wear knee-high socks that I strategically folded, rolled and “poufed” to create the illusion I was wearing loafers.
I was reminded of my senior school subterfuge again this week when I watched the premiere episode of the rebooted
Gossip Girl, which takes place on the same rich, insular Manhattan Upper East Side as the show’s first incarnation but in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter and a pandemic. So how does that affect the clothes? Glad you asked.
The New Paper
TV review: Gossip Girl

GOSSIP GIRL (M18)
Watching the sequel to the popular teen drama of the same name that ran from 2007 to 2012 will just make fans of the original miss it even more.
And come to the realisation that its successor - currently showing on HBO Go - is but a pale replica of the real deal.
Sure, Kristen Bell s familiar voiceover for the anonymous and omniscient blogger-narrator known as Gossip Girl ( your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan s elite ) is the aural equivalent of comfort food.
