From the second that the Gossip Girl reboot became a reality, our obsession has been twofold: finding out who the Constance Billard class of 2021 will be, and, almost more urgently, what they’ll be wearing — because as much as S and B were the characters, the fashion played a star role, too. Naturally, many predicted the same for Gossip Girl 2.0. Now that filming is underway, and behind-the-scenes photos have begun springing up across social media, we can say with some certainty that the second coming of the beloved aughts show holds up, fashion-wise. Hell, it might even be better than the first.
Given that we’re talking about Gossip Girl, a show that dramatizes the self-interested social politics among the upper crust of Manhattan high-schoolers, not all of the clothes worn in the reboot are accessible. Wearing a $2,000 Balmain blazer to class like Monet de Haan (Savannah Smith) just isn’t realistic in the real world, no matter how well pinstripes pair with a Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag. For regular people, there’s not really a real need to splurge on a Christopher John Rogers gown like Julien Calloway’s (Jordan Alexander). But, thanks to costume designer Eric Daman, who also was responsible for the original costumes, your favorite Upper East Side wardrobes don’t all come with a hefty price tag and a long waitlist. Some are both available now and reasonably affordable.
Given the buzz surrounding the show — Gossip Girl’s Instagram has over 300,000 followers and it hasn’t even premiered yet — any fashion item that’s been spotted during filming, especially the lower-prices ones, won’t stay in stock for long. That’s to say, when you find one that is up for grabs, we suggest you act on it — fast.
To make sure you don’t miss a steal before it’s too late, we rounded up all the Gossip Girl-approved pieces that are still available.

In yet another life flex, Lizzo took a break from posting bikini shots on a yacht to dance to Cardi B from her Malibu home on Monday. The switch to a (relatively) more low-key location didn’t keep her from continuing to serve looks, though. In the video, Lizzo runs through Cardi’s choreography from her impressive Grammys performance of “Up,” and makes a case for a trend we only considered during festival season. But you know what? Bell pants — the ultra-flared stretch pants of the ‘70s, early 2000s, and late 2010s — look mighty good to us right now.
Along with the pants, Lizzo wore an oversized band tee from Elton John’s 1973 album “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” The shirt, according to a commenter, came from Los Angeles-based brand Daydreamer LA, which specializes in band T-shirts from the era. (It’s still available in sizes XS and S.)
Pros of Lizzo’s choice of bottoms: comfortable enough to twerk in, appropriately honors the turn-up times of the past, and captures the boho vibe we’ve been feeling ourselves. Cons: We don’t have a pair yet ourselves.
Get ahead of the ‘70s bell pant trend by shopping our favorite styles below.

There’s a scene in the 2004 comedy Mean Girls in which Lizzy Caplan’s character cuts two holes out of the tank top of the mean girl-in-charge, Regina George (Rachel McAdams), in order to undermine her popularity. When Regina puts on the slashed top, she pauses as she takes in the two poker chip-sized holes on her breasts, revealing her purple bra underneath, before shrugging and walking out of the locker room. Soon, all the other girls in school follow suit, wearing tops with peepholes that show off their bras. Seventeen years later, fashion, too, seems to have gotten the message about confounding cutouts.
Take, for example, the fall 2021 collections: Moon crescents, marking what would be the top outlines of a bra, were cut onto a hot pink Herve Leger shirt that members of the Plastics would have fought to wear on a Wednesday. ADEAM’s collared shirts featured underarm slits, an ingenious design I could benefit from should I ever return to a crowded subway commute. Markarian, the designer behind Jill Biden’s Inauguration look, and Jonathan Simkhai showed pants that were missing fabric underneath the belt loops, revealing part of the hip and sides that require its wearer to get innovative with their underwear (or lack thereof). In the outerwear department, Christian Siriano sent out a coat that featured triangular cutouts that landed at the ribs and thighs; this may defeat the purpose of having a coat in the first place, but is appealing for when you’re both cold and hot for some (well-deserved) attention.
Why are designers so keen on highlighting parts of our bodies that we usually hide away?
For Regina George, the top’s brazen ridiculousness was part of its appeal. Likewise, after a year marked by comfort wear, designers and shoppers are also ready for risk-taking fashion. Look, for instance, at the popular pull-apart dresses and sweaters, featuring buttons appearing on the verge of popping off and bursting side seams — the epitome of extreme cutout fashion. Created by cool-girl brands like Rui Zhou and Poster Girl and worn by celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner, the trend has dominated social media since last year. And while some were quick to joke that the Swiss cheese-like fashion mirrored our mental state after a year in the pandemic (hanging by the thread — ha. ha. ha.), and our desire to break out of the confinement of our homes when it’s finally safe to do so — to pull apart our clothes, Hulk-style, and hug everyone we know — the attraction is in the apparel’s unabashed boldness. It is the antithesis of the matching sweatsuits that have defined our style since the pandemic took hold. It incites strong emotion, good or bad, after a year of sartorial indifference.
Then there’s fashion’s general move toward the skimpier. After isolating at home for months on end, with an overabundance of shapeless house dresses and hoodies, it was inevitable that a craving for more revealing styles was going to set in. Since the summer, trends like lingerie-as-outerwear and swimsuit bottoms that could be mistaken as face masks have been on the rise. Pants and dresses with back cutouts that give the illusion of a whale tale, from the likes of Kendra Duplantier, Subsurface, and Aya Muse flooded our grids. Sure, fashion is cyclical, so it was only a matter of time before the visible thong came back in style, but it is telling that something as statement-making as the infamous early aughts trend made a comeback during a decidedly unsexy time in our lives.
Will we all look like Regina George come fall ‘21, with cutouts revealing all sorts of unexpected parts of our bodies? With vaccines rolling out, there’s a good chance that we might actually be able to hug our friends and family in the fall, setting stage for trends that promote maximum skin-to-skin contact. Or, we could still be at home, wearing skimpy fashion in protest of our confinement.
