One of the saddest things about Gossip Girl ending this week is that we will no longer get to see Chuck Bass try out any new smolders. Gossip Girl's reformed bad boy has spent the last several seasons working on his expressions, whether it's a brow furrow, a scowl, or a sultry smirk. To say goodbye to the series — and the well-dressed bad boy who became a good man — here are the 50 best "I'm Chuck Bass" smolders.
Blake Lively continued work on the sixth season of Gossip Girl yesterday in NYC. She was joined by 7th Heaven's Barry Watson, who's playing her love interest in the new episodes. After kicking off her shoot in a blue Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, Blake changed into an Alice + Olivia orange top, printed skirt, and sky-high Louboutin heels to hit the sidewalks. Blake's no stranger to high-fashion labels and, in fact, was recently announced as the face of Gucci's Première fragrance. She was formerly in the ads for Chanel's Mademoiselle bag line, and apparently Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld doesn't mind sharing. Reports suggested a rift between Blake and Chanel, but those stories were shot down by Karl's company.
It's no wonder the recent blue skies and sunshine have brought out the most Spring-appropriate of colour combinations in fashion. Yesterday in London, Radio 1 DJ Jameela Jamil rocked a pair of lemon heels with a turquoise mini, while over in Japan, American actress and model Brooklyn Decker teamed a navy Theyskens’ Theory cami with a Peter Pilotto pencil skirt and sunny Louboutins at a Battleship press conference.
Last week in London, British singer and talent show judge Alesha Dixon donned a blue Warehouse blazer and canary-coloured DVF mini outside ITV studios. Across the pond in Manhattan, Blake Lively accessorised her yellow and black Reed Krakoff trench with an azure Emily Cho clutch shooting scenes for Gossip Girl, while British actress Freema Agyeman filmed The Carrie Diaries across town in a primrose coat and sapphire trousers. Take inspiration from these gorgeous gals and discover five fun ways to wear these Spring shades.
Blake Lively wore Marchesa and posed with young actress Chloe Moretz on the red carpet in NYC last night to celebrate her series Gossip Girl making the 100 episode mark! The bash was held at Cipriani Wall Street, and many of Blake's small-screen costars like Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley also attended. Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle did as well. The latest Gossip Girl episode was as full of drama and OMG moments as back when the show started in 2007. The Upper East Siders have come a long way since then, though, with recent pictures from the set showing Leighton's Blair Waldorf as a runaway bride! Congrats to the cast on their latest big accomplishment.
Thanks to shows like Gossip Girl and Mad Men, we've become addicted to good fashion on TV. Whether it's Blake Lively and Leighton Meester showing ultra-luxe New York City chicness, or Christina Hendricks and January Jones reminding us what ladylike style was all about, style on television has become an indelible part of our fashion lexicon. This Fall, there are some new shows vying for our attention. We've already spotted Hart of Dixie star Rachel Bilson exhibiting her feminine cool style in Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, and Chanel; Sarah Michelle Gellar is also killing it with her cool downtown looks in her new show, Ringer. Iconic midcentury style has another major turn in Pan Am, and the return of Charlie's Angels means there will be no shortage of sexy style on the small screen this season. To get a sneak peek at the latest, click the slideshow to see the fashion we're coveting from the Fall TV shows.

In the spirit of the new round of television programmes gearing up again this Autumn, I thought I'd get everyone as excited as I am about the drama, beauty, and fashion that is such a big part of each new season. I love Gossip Girl for its over-the-top New York looks; Made in Chelsea for its posh, yet current, British edge; and Mad Men for its impeccable attention to detail during the '60s era. The shows, of course, wouldn't be the same without the gorgeous leading ladies of the silver screen like Blake Lively, Caggie Dunlop, January Jones, Millie Mackintosh, and Leighton Meester, who all bring their own unique attitude along with style. Out of these five telly fashionistas, whose wardrobe do you like best?
Spotted: Blake Lively and Leighton Meester hard at work filming season five of Gossip Girl. While the season premiere doesn't debut until Sept. 26, we scoured around for photos of what's fashionably to come for Fall. So far, we spy Blair Waldorf in a sunny yellow outfit by Stella McCartney, Serena van der Woodsen sporting Rag & Bone, and newcomer Roxane Mesquida, set to play the role of Prince Louis's sister, on set wearing Valentino florals. Want to see what else they have in store for the new season? Click the slideshow to see the girls working their Upper East Side style.

Stockings used to be a somewhat boring, Winter necessity — until Gossip Girl came around. Thanks to Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, both of whom were spotted wearing pretty hues and textures on the popular fashion-heavy show, legwear has become a cool outlet to show off your sleek styling skills. Perhaps that's why DKNY just announced a collaboration with Eric Daman, costume designer of Gossip Girl, to design a legwear capsule collection for Fall. “I feel like I grew up with legwear in the '70s and '80s, and it’s great to see legwear being part of a woman’s ensemble, a defining piece of women’s ready-to-wear, said Daman. . . . “Hosiery is quite sexy. What we try to do in Gossip Girl is lots of texture. It makes the characters come alive . . . it gives a character like Blair life when she’s wearing a pencil skirt with distressed rib tights. It gives her look something special.”
Prices and more details on the collection.
It's about to get even hotter in NYC this Fall: Elizabeth Hurley is coming to Gossip Girl for a handful of episodes in the upcoming season. The actress will play a media mogul named Diana Payne, who will have an impact on not only Blair and the gang, but on Gossip Girl herself. Color me intrigued.
Now it's time for the important questions: who will Diana be shacking up with? We know Nate and Dan love the older ladies, but Chuck's back on the market now, too.
