Add me to the Leighton looked cute in that black/white cocktail dress. The shoes seem a tad heavy, but overall do compliment it. She looked very classy.
As for the new Blair pics, I'm in the camp that thinks even when she is dressed too old, she still looks good. I'm usually more ticked at the lack of realism that Blair would wear heels/skirts/tights/SLEEVELESS clothing in a cold, NYC winter. (The character DID wear pants in season 1, but Eric Damen seems to have forgotten that detail.) I mean, I know she's an UES princess and so probably has her own personal driver so she wouldn't have worry about being outside going from place to place too long, but even so, it can be slippery and treacherous outside. I think Blair nearly always looks stylish, but totally and ridiculously underdresssed. (And, if you happen to live in a Snow Belt area like I do, or Blair does, you would totally understand my complaints about Blair's weather inappropriate clothing.)
Oh, and can someone link me to the GG fashion topic? I'm been searching for it and can't find it.
