Gossip Girl Season 6 Fashion

This could possibly be the perfect combination of Fall hues and layers. Blake Lively, as Serena van der Woodsen, gives us a handful of reasons to look forward to cooler temps — just look to her striped Burberry bag, geometric-print Rag & Bone pants, and gray Rupert Sanderson boots for the proof.

A closer look at Blake's mixed-texture outfit — the rich jewel tones stand out against subtle vertical stripes and an exotic leopard print.

We couldn't think of a better Blair Waldorf outfit than this one — Leighton Meester sported an array of bold colored tweeds along with fuchsia pumps and a floral-embroidered Valentino bag.

From the tweedy overcoat to her brightly-printed dress, we're loving the overarching theme of mod ladylike wares.

Just like old times, season six will revisit the steps of the Met Museum. Leighton's character Blair Waldorf apparently dressed up for the occassion in a patterned dress, black embellished cardigan, and black T-strap heels.

Blake Lively wore yet another Serena van der Woodsen-approved printed maxi dress on set — we're digging the laid-back accents here, too. A cloche hat and slouchy Chanel bag completed the season-six outfit.

Leighton Meester stepped onto set in a decidedly equestrian-style ensemble — was it the cloche hat or the leather riding boots that gave it stable flair?

It's all in the details here: the straw cloche hat in a darker Fall hue, the exotic Salvatore Ferragamo bag in the prettiest shade of plum, and the beautiful orange-printed scarf tied this equestrian look together.

Michelle Trachtenberg put an eerily dramatic spin on Georgina Sparks's villainness style — dark-rimmed eyes, vampy heels, and Gothic-inspired eveningwear were par for the course.

Although Leighton's character, Blair, stuck to a green and yellow color combination here, we love the slight contrast to be found in her red headband.

A snakeskin bag proved a subtle offset to this Baroque-style printed skirt.

Kelly Rutherford looked every bit the part of Lily van der Woodsen, and we think it had everything to do with the mod geometric dress and matching Bulgari tote.

To make sure all the focus is on a bold print, follow Kelly's lead with a nude wedge pump.

In a stellar example of opposites attract, Blake Lively wore a vibrant cobalt blue Marc by Marc Jacobs dress and coral orange Christian Dior cutout sandals. As if strategic colorblocking wasn't enough, we're kind of obsessed with the printed shoulder bag, too.

We're quite familiar with Blair Waldorf's elegant Upper East Side style, but we're loving the double dose of exotic animal print here. It's a subtle nod to quirkier takes on sophisticated silhouettes — and we have her Red Valentino dress ($745) and Brian Atwood Marilyn platform pumps to thank for it.

Newcomer Sofia Black-D'Elia joins the season six cast and it looks as though her character will exude a much more borrowed-from-the-boys sensibility, unlike Serena's elevated bohemian style and Blair's uptown-girl polish. Here, Sofia donned a loosened tie, leopard-printed loafers, and a slick fedora hat to achieve that menswear feel.

Even in daytime mode, Serena van der Woodsen rocks a fierce pair of pumps and bright scene-stealing wares. Case in point: it's all about neon pops (hello 3.1 Phillip Lim satchel!), bold exotics (thanks Pour La Victoire heels), and pretty florals (the Haute Hippie skirt is perfection).

Her Pour La Victoire pumps go from day-to-night with a little help from cocktail-cool accents. We're loving the vertical stripe details on her strapless dress and the tricolor chain strap bag.

Blake, as Serena, hit the streets with new castmember Barry Watson in the ultimate Summer-perfect attire. The elements — think embellishments, sheer florals, and studded accents — came together perfectly. To be exact, the starlet wore an Alice + Olivia orange beaded top, a floral Haute Hippie maxi skirt, and Christian Louboutin turquoise Bollywood peep-toe pumps. Here's an easy guide to emulating Blake's orange-hued ensemble.

A close-up on Blake's orange beaded Alice + Olivia top. We also think you could tuck this bold tank into crisp white shorts and add a great pair of wedge espadrilles for a more casual outfit.

Michelle Trachtenberg's character Georgina takes the printed trend to the next level, mixing a sequin-embellished top with dark tie-dyed leggings and snakeprint Pour La Victoire pumps.

We have a feeling the season will kick off with more than a little sparkle, as evidenced by Leighton's princess-worth diamond-encrusted headband and sequined dress.
