Blake Lively is unforgettable as Serena van der Woodsen

Serena van der Woodsen's life is full with her shopping sprees with Blair Waldorf, her first romantic dates with "Lonely Boy", her social evenings in New York's high society, her Sunday brunches in her mansion on Fifth Avenue, and her summer vacations in the Hamptons and then in Paris. She is scrutinized by Gossip Girl and all her subscribers who rush to their phones with each new notification from the mysterious blogger. The reason is that Serena, or simply S as her best friend calls her, is a girl you notice. Whether it's in a lavish gold dress at the debutante ball or between the aisles of a Brooklyn supermarket, wherever she goes, and whatever she does, the young woman provokes a reaction in those around her from her fictional companions and the viewers devouring the series.

Serena van der Woodsen partly owes her allure to her physique. As a true archetype of feminine beauty (with always perfect hair), it must be said that she appeals to a majority. In spite of this somewhat pristine portrait of her image, it is her especially seductive personality that those around her take note of. It is difficult to resist Blake Lively's character with her uniforms, ties and pleated skirts, colorful outfits (always by great designers), her irreverent charm, and her mischievous and communicative smile. So, in this series where toxicity is pushed to its limit, we enjoyed following the adventures of this rebellious teenager who manages to remain very sentimental despite everything. Here are some shots of the best scenes, and most beautiful outfits to remember from the iconic Serena van der Woodsen.
