Gossip Girl cast spotted on the Met steps
Spotted: the Gossip Girl cast on The Met steps! A new cast shot from the reboot, which will be more familiar to fans of the original series, has appeared. Constance Billard’s it girls are seen at the famed hangout spot of Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen. This time around, rising stars Emily Alyn Lind, Jordan Alexander, Savannah Smith, and Zion Moreno are looking extra stylish while doing so. Fashion has always played a big part in the GG universe; after all, the original show’s frequent depictions of shopping trips, high-end boutiques, and fashion shows made it one of the biggest placement opportunities for fashion brands in the late aughts. We’ve spied the cast dressed in sharp blazers and knits, toting some sweet bags by Jacquemus and Louis Vuitton. As to when we’ll see the stylish teens on our TV’s? It’s still TBD—though you can bet we’ll be keeping an eye on the upcoming release date. XOXO!
