These Gossip Girl Then Vs. Now Photos Show How Much The Cast Has Changed

From 2007 to 2012, The CW’s Gossip Girl chronicled the drama, wealth, and scandalous lives of Manhattan’s (young) elite, making stars — and fashion icons — out of actors Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, and Jessica Szohr.

Based on Cecily von Ziegesar’s books and created by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the show aired 121 episodes over six seasons. As a new clique takes over in the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot on July 8, let’s catch up with the OG cast of a show that shaped a generation.
