Gossip Girl is the new Sex and the City?

It looks like Gossip Girl is starting to film season 4 and they are in France. I’m so excited for their September 13 debut! The finale of season 3 was the best episode of the entire season and it left us all hanging!

Upon coming across these shots of Blake Lively (Serena) and Leighton Meester (Blair) I couldn’t help but think;  is Gossip Girl the new Sex and the City? As far as fashion goes these shots TOTALLY remind us of Carrie and Charlotte.  Maybe subconsciously Gossip Girl has been filling the void where Sex and the City used to be.

As I am writing this I’m starting to think of some of the similarities between the two:

-Main character has beautiful long blond hair. (Serena vs Carrie)

-They film in New York.

-They wear designer fashion, even to bed.

-We have the uppity best friend whose style always leans to a 1950’s housewife. (Blair vs Charlotte)

-The ladies switch boyfriends faster than we can count.

-We always know deep down the blond is going to end up with the mysterious tall handsome brunette man. (Serena + Dan vs  Carrie + Mr Big)

And these are just the few that I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure there is plenty more! Anyway, here are some of the stills from the first episode:
