"Work the runway! Serena in all her golden girl glory takes on the socialite runway trend as she saunters for B's mom, the lovely and talented Eleanor Waldorf!  But scandy—she is actually is in a dress designed by Lil' J (i.e. me, the ghost designer behind Lil' J designs!) This was a lot of fun for me since we don't have time to actually build many pieces on episodic TV," Daman explains. "The emerald green was taken from the original Eleanor designs and looked flawless against S's shimmering skin. The sweetheart bodice and draped bubble skirt were meant to combine whimsy and couture. One of my faves!"

"BELLES DE JOUR," SEASON 4

"Who else can pull off one of a kind Couture as day looks, all while nibbling macaroons and having the time of their lives?! S and B, of course," Daman says of the girls' looks in the Paris episode. "Serena is GG2.0 in her George Chakra hand beaded cage dress (Totally day time a propos when worn with Repetto flats, Rag & Bone Blazer and boater)! Blair is Parisian heaven: A fluffy fashionable macaroon herself in a Bardot inspired look, mixing n' matching Moschino fruit, Chanel cuffs and provincial beret! J'adore!"

 

 

"BELLES DE JOUR," SEASON 4

"Our favorite frenemies shopping Chanel in Paris! They were actually more like besties in this scene, so I wanted their color palettes to play into that: Matching soft cosmetic neutral tones with saturated personal hints, like Serena's turquoise Suzan Galani necklace and Blair's Orange Nancy Gonzalez croc bag.  Loving the masculine inspired Suno pink pants on S, a total nod to Mlle Chanel!"

 

 

"DOUBLE IDENTITY," SEASON 4

"I wanted our girls to seem like superhero versions of themselves, beamed from planet GG to save Paris, Blair's relationship with Chuck and shock the French with their taste for couture! S's Gold Pucci sequin jacket and blue Tibi pants give her a modern day Wonder Woman allure as she rushes to alert B that Chuck is ALIVE! B dazzles in an Oscar de la Renta gown that was heaven as she crosses the dark seedy train station to say au revoir to her beloved Bass."

 

 

"THE UNDERGRADUATES," SEASON 4

"Serena flutters through Fashion's Night Out and this TDF (to die for) Jenny Packham blown up butterfly print gown is ideal for stomping about the Meatpacking District and faux catfighting with her best frenemie! As our first Vogue sponsored event, I really wanted S to make a hi-fash impression. Insider info: Blake actually emailed me the runway shot of the gown at the top of the season and was like "Isn't it perfect for S!" And she was right!"

 

 

"EASY J," SEASON 4

"Who needs accessories when you have an amazing Couture cut out tuxedo by Maxime Simoens?! Serena is no nonsense in this episode, so I wanted her formal wear to be fierce, severe, and traffic-stopping," Daman explains. " New York Magazine actually called me the inventor of the "Cleavage Rhombus" for this inspired couture creation."

 

"JULIET DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE," SEASON 4

"Opening night of the ballet at Lincoln Center is a very hot NYC ticket and so is Serena!" Daman gushes. "Breathtaking by the fountain, I wanted our gang to embrace a soft Degas inspired palette. This Couture Zuhir Murad fit the bill!  To give the dress an airier feel and show off S's killer gams, we actually shortened the grey under skirt (which was floor length) to a mini!"

 

 

"G.G.," SEASON 5

The CW hit series' celebrated costume designer Eric Daman reveals his favorite looks that he's so stylishly pulled together during the show's six-year run:

"Diamonds are a girls BF,  but confidenceis a girl's best accessory! For this musical dream sequence, Serena's wearing at least five necklaces and as many bracelets as you can count. We built the dress from the pink gown her mom wore during house arrest!"
