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.

    How To Reduce Microplastic Pollution From Our Clothes 

    The creation and excessive use of plastics in the past century have resulted in a new threat for the planet and all who inhabit it.

    What is The bluesign Standard?

    Before a clothing item ends up in your closet, it has to go through an extensive production process. Many different suppliers and manufacturers are involved in making just 1 product. Maybe this is surprising to hear, but brands often don’t have any idea what goes on in the production of their products. At least not from start to finish. They often don’t know which raw materials, dyes and chemicals their suppliers use to make their designs. This is where bluesign® comes in. This post will give an explanation of this standard, so you will know what brands are talking about when they mention this term on their website…
