On Sunday night, I made a note to myself to revisit what was, at that point, Kelly Rutherford’s latest outfit selfie, which included a major nod to the warm color of the season: burgundy. And today, only 48 hours later, as I checked Rutherford’s Instagram to take a second look at the fit, I found not one, not two, but six other stylish selfies from the actor.
This year, over a decade since the series ended, Gossip Girl’s Lily van der Woodsen has come back into our lives via her inspiring mirror selfies, which showcase her incredibly diverse and ever-changing style. The looks are sometimes of the impeccable Upper East Side nature that we expect from Rutherford’s most famous on-screen character, but more often than not, they’re cool, down to earth, and most importantly, so fun.
This week, the actor has already debuted several fits worthy of attention, two of which embrace the deep burgundy fashion girls have been obsessing over since the start of autumn, while also repping several sustainable labels. The first was a cozy monochrome look composed of a slouchy turtleneck sweater and a maxi skirt in the same fuzzy material—both a rich plum—from sustainable knitwear brand L’Envers. Rutherford styled the set with square-toe Mary Jane flats in a luxurious walnut tone, from ATP Atelier, plus a mini burgundy leather bag, and sunglasses with clear yellow frames.
The star of the second look was a black cape with a white and silver floral embellishment at the shoulders, from sustainable luxury brand Olistic. Rutherford draped the gala-worthy piece over a black midi dress and paired it with glossy burgundy pumps and black shades from L.G.R.
