Blair Waldorf’s Nanette Lepore “Magic Wand” Blue / Purple Embellished Sequin Mini Dress, Gossip Girl S2 E8 (size 0)
Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) wore this Nanette Lepore "Magic Wand" dress in Gossip Girl Season 2, Episode 8, "Pret-a-Poor-J," originally aired October 27, 2008 on The CW.
This is the bar scene. Blair has spent the entire episode trying to seduce Chuck — the perfume, the garter belt, the martini — and none of it has worked. Then he sits down across from her and explains why: "The reason we can't say those three words to each other isn't because they aren't true. The moment we do, it won't be the start of something — it'll be the end." She's wearing this dress when he says it.
Note: the bar lighting makes the dress read purple on screen. In person, it is dark navy blue.
The "Magic Wand" is one of Nanette Lepore's most referenced pieces from the era — beaded floral embellishments scattered across the skirt, shimmering sequin striping, flutter sleeves, scoop neckline with a keyhole cutout.
This same style was also worn by Paris Hilton!
