Valentino


I have been re-watching Gossip Girl season 1.

This dress caught my eye, and air gets caught in my chest.

The black chiffon dress Blair wore at her 17th birthday party.


I remember loving it the first time I saw it, and now I'm falling in love all over again.

Icing on the cake is, it's a Valentino!

From their Fall 2006 collection.

Kate Winslet wore the same dress too.


But I like it better on Blair Waldorf.

I don't mean to offend anyone out there, but I really think her petite frame and tiny waist complimented the dress to the best of its potential.

And black is just the perfect colour for it, don't you think?

It's very rare that I like a designer dress better on an actress than a model on the runway (Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw is a completely different story though), but in this case, I prefer the dress on Blair Waldorf much more than the model.


The dress is the perfect example of being so "hard" yet so soft at the same time.

So delicate, yet so strong.

Much like Blair Waldorf herself.


The dress is simply a stunning piece of art. It's so beautiful that it deserves its own frame!

Let's all look at it again, tilt our heads to the right, and say, "awwww!".
