17 Times We All Wanted To Be Serena Van Der Woodsen

Ah to be Serena Van Der Woodsen with her cascading blonde waves, legs longer than a small town and seemingly never-ending wardrobe of designer threads. As one of the most glamorous TV characters to ever grace our screens, we were all filled with complete and utter envy every time she appeared onscreen. Here are 17 times we all wanted to be Serena Van Der Woodsen:

1) When she looked ten times hotter than any of the rest of us ever could on the way to school.

Honestly though, who can even make a uniform look THAT hot?

2) When she lived in a hotel, casually, just because she could.

Meet you at the minibar?

3) And when she left said hotel to live in an amazing bloody penthouse. *Sigh*

Can....can we be your friend please Serena?

4) When her and Dan were probably the cutest couple to ever grace the world.

No, seriously, ever. Just LOOK at their little faces!

5) And her and Nate were probably the most beautiful thing ever.

I mean, honestly. Who is even that hot? Think of how hot and beautiful their babies would have been.

6) When her and Lily looked like the most stylish mother/ daughter combo there ever was.

Like Mother, like daughter, eh?

7) When she worked formal glamour better than pretty much anyone else I've ever seen.

Cinderella, eat your heart out.

8) And when she was probably the least bridesmaid-y bridesmaid ever.

And not a puffy meringue anywhere in sight.

9) When she wore a jumpsuit and looked this damn hot.

This is starting to make me more than a little jealous.

10) And when she shot down our disco queen attempts in one foul swoop.

Look at that hair. Look at that gold. LOOK!

11) When her boyfriend lived in a loft style apartment in Brooklyn and it made us really, rather jealous.

House swap?

12) When, even though he was frequently not a very good person, Chuck was her half brother and they were officially the coolest damn family there ever was.

It's a sister/ brother kind of thing.

13) When her on again, off again bestie Blair and her were back being besties once more.

I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.

14) When she casually got into the Hollywood business on a trip to L.A.

Is there anything this beauty can't do?

15) When Dan quite literally swept her off her feet.

And we all secretly shed a little tear.

16) When her and Blair ran around New York dressed like this and we have never wanted to body swap with anyone as badly, ever.

Look how elegant, how effortless, how jealousy inducing.

17) And lastly, when she finally married Dan and it was beautiful.

And no, we didn't cry at all....

XOXO
