Gossip Girl Channels “My Fair Lady”

Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively (in Ralph Lauren) and Leighton Meester go back in time as they step out on-set in period costumes in New York City on Thursday.

Blake’s costume looks way more chic and sophisticated than Leighton’s. Poor Leighton looks like a ragged Mary Poppins!

UPDATE: It’s a My Fair Lady reference with a Eliza Dolittle pre (Blair) & post (Serena) make-over. Thanks to JJ readers Sascha, Caroline, Trace, Lenor, Claire and Catherine!

The second season of Gossip Girl starts off with a bang @ 8PM ET/PT on Monday, September 1. The season premiere of One Tree Hill follows.

I’m sure there’s a reason behind this.

Josh is always a genius.

# 6

they’re costumes from my fair lady, i think

# 7

haha weird
i <3 GG

# 8

maybe a dream sequence too

# 9

Even dressed like that, Leighton still looks better than Blake.

its from my fair lady! another movie from audrey hepburn who is ‘blair’s favourite actress!

maybe a dream sequence

I think it’s like a My Fair Lady reference, kinda like how Blair had a few Breakfast at Tiffanys moments. I <3 Gossip Girl!!

leighton is the eliza of the beginning of My fair lady

looks like they’re doing ‘My Fair Lady’ - Eliza Dolittle pre (Blair) & post (Serena) make-over.

so true about josh being a genius

OK, now, enough is enough. Judging from GG’s ratings, about ten people and their cats actually watch this show.

STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS SHOW AND GIVING THEM PRESS!!!

Blair must be daydreaming again..

i agree with ally! and why is it that leighton who has the talent gets a fugly outfit while blake who is just so so gets somethig that would be seen on a runway i dont get it

definately my fair lady. it’s an audrey movie and blair loves audrey. probably/most definately one of her dream sequences

definately my fair lady…leighton is Audrey’s character eliza at the beginning of the movie, and Blake’s costume looks like a revamped version of the gown Audrey wears post makeover, at the racetrack scene.

Yeah I agree with everyone else.I think it could be a dream sequence

YES pleaaase stop pretending this show is some ratings powerhouse, NO ON CARES!

looooooooove gossip girl
:DD

thaaanks jj
i loove you.

Blake cannot be Aubrey… that role belongs to Leighton…. Blair looks cute even like that.

This has to be a dream sequence. Blair is obsessed with Audrey Hepburn and she already had a Breakfast at Tiffany’s dream. Twice.

haha wow. My Fair Lady with a Blackberry in her hand. LMFAO.

I bet this is a dream sequence. As Blair always has these old fashion dreams. And I bet it has something to do with Serena being better than Blair too. :P

I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL!

#16. There is more than 10 people watching Gossip Girl. Just looking at all the comments JustJared gets on his Gossip Girl posts shows it!

Blake looks fab. Leighton looks like crap

I agree with #29. This looks like the sort of dream sequence Blair would have after a scene where she’s been really self-conscious. She always compares herself against Serena in those situations, and she’s seemingly oblivious to her own stunning figure.

I can’t wait for Season 2! I live in the UK so I’m hoping someone will put it up on the internet after it airs.

The only thing Blake can do is Show her big boobs… Leighton is a more serious actress

First of all.

It’s getting lots of buzz because it’s a briliant show.
its entertainment. If kids watch this show and does what these kids are doing..they’re the Moron..NOT the show producers or actors.
it’s what they HAVE TO DO.

i love blake. she’s cute.

haha laura i was saying the same thing. poor blake, but leighton dressed like that still looks better. (: nothing against her though. theyre oth amazing just leightons amazing(er) lol jk. leightons more amazing;)

Love, love, love

Aw. Blake looks gorgeous. Such a talent. Them haters can kiss her pretty ass.

LOVE YOU BLAKEE!!

Sounds like a neat episode! Maybe I’ll watch this show for once! :)

poor leighton~but looks cute~

“My Fair Lady with a Blackberry in her hand” LOL

i agree. Blake´s costume is so much prettier than Leighton´s !
love you Leigh and thanks JJ !

well oks love GG and im sure almost everyone agrees!
bu!!1 to #16!!!!
bye!

what is the channel to watch season 2 ?

i’m excited for this episode!!!!!!

i <33gg

&audrey hepburn!

@ Laura - just your opinion, no need to be rude about it

@ shannon- a lot of ppl think that blake is more talented but because that is just an objective bias just like you’re statment the fact - before gossip girl blake was the bigger star AND most importantly it’s SERENA AND BLAIR in these pics not BLAKE AND LEIGHTON and they storyline required it - and blake is just as talented as leighton if not more - think about you write.
