There's a quick reference to actor Alec Baldwin as it's noted that one of his kids attends Constance Billard. Though Baldwin never appeared on the show himself, his brother William Baldwin notably played Serena van der Woodsen's dad in the series.
Like we said earlier, this Gossip Girl reboot is a whole new world, and now these kids actually party in DUMBO. In the original series, Blair used to constantly mock Dan and Jenny for being from Brooklyn, but now it's the hip place to be.
It's been noted that Audrey's character name is a reference to Blair's favorite actress Audrey Hepburn, but the second episode takes it a step further by revealing that Audrey's mother's name is Katherine. Perhaps like actress Katharine Hepburn?
Similar to Blair's mother at the beginning of the original series, Audrey's mother is a designer who is just getting over a divorce.
