Gossip Girl defined an entire generation and had a big influence on the fashion of the 2010s. What the characters wore played a huge role in the teen drama, and Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen are still seen as true fashion icons. Two years ago, it was announced the hit series would be coming back with a new cast. Both the original and the reboot, have the same costume designer, which can only result in new iconic and influential fashion to inspire the new generation. It’s been around nine years since the last episode aired, so obviously the fashion has changed. The outfits in the reboot fit the current trends and the main characters each have their own style. Do you want to recreate their most iconic looks so far, without having a big impact on the earth?

In this post, we’re looking at seven looks from Monet de Haan, played by Savannah Smith. This is part 2 of a 5 part series. In part 1, we focused on six outfits from Audrey Hope. Stay tuned for the looks from three other main characters: Julien Calloway, Luna La and Zoya Lott.
Monet de Haan
Monet de Haan’s style is all about pairing mini skirts with white turtlenecks, bodysuits, checked or tweed-style blazers and bow details around her neck. As for shoes, she likes wearing heeled loafers, heeled sandals with socks and comfortable black boots.
Browse Your Own Closet
First of all, the most sustainable (and cheapest) way of recreating outfits is of course by being creative with items you already own. You can also thrift if you don’t own anything that fits the style. The colours Monet wears are pretty much the same as Audrey: mainly black, white and dark blue. She does occasionally add a pop of colour. If you can find a mini skirt and a blazer in those main colours, you pretty much already nailed the look! Below are some looks I put together inspired by her style, with things I already had in my closet (and most of the pieces were thrifted)
Sustainable Brands
Now let’s take a look at how you can recreate her outfits with items from sustainable brands. The brands in this list offer similar pieces to the ones worn by Savannah Smith’s character. All the brands are featured on the website here.
