A Gossip Girl Halloween: Serena van der Woodsen Costume

Enemies and nasty rumors aside, Serena van der Woodsen is the girl everyone wants to be. Mile-long legs, amazing blonde locks, and the ability to turn any guy’s head — what more could you want? Over the past few years, Serena's style has gotten shorter, tighter, and sexier — cutouts are de rigeur in her wardrobe these days — but we can still remember her looking like a chic traveler on the first episode. Lest we be mistaken for a streetwalker channeling Serena's more recent looks this Halloween, we opted to recreate that Grand Central outfit from back in the day. No need to stuff any bras — this look is totally PG.
