Rihanna was on hand to light UNICEF's Snowflake in NYC last night before hitting the red carpet in
a more dramatic gown alongside Blake Lively and Madonna. The snowflake marks the beginning of
holiday shopping season, which we've already gotten a great start on around here with
all our fabulous gift guides. Rihanna was also there to officially launch her
Tattoo Heart Collection for Gucci, which also benefits UNICEF.

On this week's
Gossip Girl there aren't things like murders or drug overdoses, which I was hoping for kind of expecting given the show's history. In fact, it seems like everyone puts aside their differences for one day in the spirit of Thanksgiving despite the fact that Gossip Girl hinted there would be "lying, manipulation, and betrayal" on the Upper East Side.
The entire cast is present in this episode, too, and it seems like all loose ends from the past couple of episodes have been tied up, while the seeds for future intrigue are definitely sown.

Some of the
Gossip Girl cast was hard at work as usual on the set in NYC yesterday. Last night was Thanksgiving time for our favorite Upper East Siders, which
brought with it drama as usual, as well as some heart warming moments and festive holiday attire —
get the looks from the episode here. The hour wrapped itself up nicely while setting up for the next big plot shocker, while keeping us on our toes with the
fashion,
beauty, and
gadgets.

Blake Lively showed up to
last night's CFDA fashion fete in a Vena Cava maxi dress that is revealing on top and demure on the bottom. She completed the look with black leather boots but kept her jewelry to a minimum — she could have used a statement necklace. Do you love it or hate it?

The lush green background made the dresses stand out at last night's CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund event in NYC, where
Alexander Wang took home the prize;
check out all the other winners here. Anna Wintour, who
may be considering retirement, hosted some of Manhattan's pretty young things at the soiree. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley traveled as a duo as usual, though they never pose together.

Last night, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue, held their fifth annual Fashion Fund extravaganza in New York City. The big winner was
Alexander Wang who won $200,000 along with a year of mentoring. The runner-ups were Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai (Vena Cava) and Albertus Q.

A couple really loose ends,
and big plots, got resolved in this
Turkey Day episode of
Gossip Girl. Whew! While I love the drama, sometimes it can be exhausting and I get antsy for new fireworks.
Gossip Style: Serena van der Woodsen This ensemble is quite a dynamic change from what Serena wears to school earlier in the episode. For her more dressed-up look, Serena pairs a Porter Grey top (get the next best thing from See by Chloe) with a mustard-colored skirt and accessorizes with a necklace by Stephen Dweck. All this and a pair of Boutique 9 pumps.

Nobody does Thanksgiving quite like
Gossip Girl. Last year's
touching Thanksgiving episode included lots of flashbacks to a drunken Bad Serena and a really intriguing look at Blair and her various issues with eating and control. It'll be interesting to see where everyone ends up one year later when we check in with our Upper East Siders for a holiday feast tonight.
