Serena van der Woodsen's Rodarte x Opening Ceremony Rose Gold Flared Pleated Skirt, Gossip Girl S5 E8 (size X-small)

Serena van der Woodsen (played by Blake Lively) wore this Rodarte for Opening Ceremony rose gold reverse-pleated flare skirt in Gossip Girl Season 5, Episode 8, "All the Pretty Sources."

This is the episode where Serena is running two operations at once. She's secretly building Blair a Breakfast at Tiffany's bridal shower while paying the minions to convince Blair the party will be cheap and dull — and simultaneously she and Nate are sitting on a hacked directory of every source who ever fed Gossip Girl, which Serena begs him to bury because her own entries would finish off what's left of her reputation. Louis finds the list on her laptop and releases it mid-party, and Blair blames her for it before Louis confesses. The most dangerous document in the show's history, and she's carrying it around in a rose gold party skirt.

Rose gold silk-faille-weight pleating turned inside out so the folds break outward, flaring from a fitted waist — the Rodarte founder Mulleavy sisters' architectural instinct scaled down for the Opening Ceremony line, which is exactly why Serena wears it as a daytime piece. Weightless and slightly crumpled by design, so it moves more than a structured pleat would.
