every chuck bass and blair waldorf matching outfit; a thread:

according to stylist and gossip girl designer eric daman, chuck bass and blair waldorf were intentionally given matching outfits to emphasize their connection throughout the show - their outfits even matching a specific mood or theme in their relationship.

1x01 - pilot: this episode was supposed to establish chuck and blair as originally the “villains” of the show, representing their connection as “two people who are bonded by their mutual scheming and the dark side of the show” according to showrunners josh schwartz.

1x03 - i especially like the yin/yang symbolism of the second one - her white blouse matching the white of his inside dress shirt, his dark tux matching her buttons and accessories.

1x07: this episode is full of purple! i really like how they show blair stripping down into her light purple / pink slip - either representing how she feels powerful and regal in her newfound sexuality or emphasizing the possibility of new love.

1x08:

1x10: blair’s silver dress was supposed to match nate’s silver suit but it’s interesting how the accessory on chuck’s lapel is also silver. it matches blair’s dress even though he isn’t her date.

1x13: at first, before the blast goes off, blair dresses in darker colors symbolizing obscurity and mystery. there are still slight traces of red foreshadowing what is to come...

1x13: after the blast goes off about her sleeping with two guys at once, i love how the color scheme of her outfit changes to red completely - she looks like a walking scarlet letter - perhaps to emphasize her “fallen woman” status

1x15: even when they’re not together - the designers would include elements like the way her orange headband matched the exact shade of his orange coat - to illustrate their connection to each other

1x17: once more, the black color scheme of the second outfits reflect blair and chuck’s deviousness and power as they team up as partners in crime to defend serena

1x18: blair fixes chuck’s pink and white bowtie at bart and lily’s wedding that matches her dress. the florals and pinks were used to symbolize a new, blossoming love between chuck and blair

2x01: i love the green motif in this scene - especially symbolizing chuck’s envy of marcus for possessing blair’s heart pin.
green is also symbolic of nature and balance - especially in this scene where blair turns the tables on chuck to make him feel her heartbreak.
