A new spin on the uniform
While on the steps to the Metropolitan Museum, Blair and her sidekicks Katy and Isabel welcome Serena home in a cold manner: by telling her she is not invited to the upcoming dance. Though they have a school uniform, each girl interprets her accoutrements in her own way.
BLAIR WALDORF (played by Leighton Meester) looks polished from head-to-toe in every scene. She looks prim and prissy in her school uniform, ruffly coat and gold headband.
