How To Re-create The ‘Gossip Girl’ Reboot Outfits Sustainably – Part 3

6 outfits worn by Luna La in Gossip Girl

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? Continue reading to see some similar pieces from sustainable brands, so you can start dressing like an Upper East Sider.

In this post, we’re looking at six looks from Luna La, played by Zión Moreno. This is part 3 of a 5 part series. In the previous posts, we focused on Audrey Hope and Monet de Haan. Stay tuned for the looks from two other main characters: Julien Calloway and Zoya Lott.

Luna La

In the show, Luna La is the queen of mean and always knows everything about everyone. Her style consists of luxury brands, mini skirts, boots, classy sweaters and of course a white shirt or feminine top. And, like all the other girls, a bow or ribbon around her neck.

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. In the case of Luna La, looking for vintage luxury bags or other items from brands like Louis Vuitton, Burberry or Fendi will get you pretty far. As for colours, go for white, black, dark blue, grey and brown. If you can find a mini skirt with a white sweater, boots and a designer bag, you have her look figured out! Below are some looks I put together inspired by her style, with things I already had in my closet. In the first outfit, I’m wearing a beautiful off-white shirt from sustainable brand Alchemist. Most of the other items were thrifted.

    6 Arguments For And Against Reselling Secondhand Clothes

    Secondhand shopping is one of the most affordable ways to participate in sustainable fashion, but the landscape in this industry is changing. Thrifting has now become a trend and the practice of reselling pre-loved clothes has gained significant traction. Questions have arisen about the ethics of reselling, particularly when it comes to issues like pricing, accessibility and the environmental impact. It seems this debate has largely been polarised into two extremes. For this article, I researched both sides and gathered arguments for and against reselling secondhand clothes. I am hoping this overview will make it easier for you to form an opinion. At the end, I will also share my own thoughts and where I stand on this topic…

    Your Laundry Is Polluting Your Drinking Water: An Introduction To Microplastics 

    In the early 1900s, a new material was created that we now know as plastic. At the time, plastic was seen as a revolutionary invention and it is currently the most used material in a lot of different industries: packaging, construction, electronics, fashion and more. It’s cheap, durable and lightweight and the number of possible applications is practically unlimited. There are however a lot of disadvantages of plastic that are coming to light and far outweigh the positives. Our rivers and oceans are filling up with plastic, affecting animals, the environment and our own health. This 3-part series of posts will highlight an invisible threat that is entering our drinking water, how fashion is involved and what you can do to lower your own impact.
