Blair Waldorf's RED Valentino Pink Leopard Print Tulle Mini Dress, Gossip Girl S6 E2 (size X)

Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) wore this RED Valentino printed silk chiffon dress in Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 3, "Dirty Rotten Scandals."

"Dirty Rotten Scandals" is the episode where Blair stages her first-ever fashion show as the new head of Waldorf Designs. Having missed Fashion Week, she gambles everything on a buyers' show; her centerpiece model drops out, she faints from exhaustion and ends up directing the run-of-show over Skype while hooked to an IV — and then Sage strips down to her Kiki De Montparnasse underwear mid-runway, Serena walks out, everyone follows, and not one buyer calls to place an order. Blair is wearing this dress when it all happens. "Dorota, I have been relegated to clear heels and Kardashian tastes," she says afterward. The dress, for the record, deserved better.

RED Valentino is the house of Valentino's younger, more romantic diffusion line — playful where the mainline is stately, which is exactly the register of this piece: a sheer illusion neckline over a sleeveless bodice, a nipped waist, and a full, gathered skirt in layered silk chiffon, all in a raspberry-and-black animal print. On screen, costume designer Eric Daman styled it with zebra-print platform pumps and Alexis Bittar floral earrings — pattern-clashing that Season 1 Blair never would have risked. It's Blair as businesswoman: still a party dress, but one you hold clipboards in.
