Despite ending in 2012, Gossip Girl (and its enviable fashion), continues to live in the minds and hearts of fashionistas everywhere. It’s why we’ll forever associate neckties with Serena van der Woodsen or point out outfits worthy of Blair Waldorf — especially when they’re worn by Leighton Meester herself. The actress once again left Us feeling nostalgic with her new campaign for Kendra Scott, rocking a ring that reminded us of the Upper East Sider.
In a Valentine’s Day edit for the brand, Meester curated a collection of jewels she’d wear for the holiday — including a ruby red ring that Blair would no doubt approve of. The wealthy character once wore a ruby ring on repeat, and the Tatum July Band Ring feels like a modern update. The good news is that purchasing it won’t deplete your bank account, since the piece costs just $65.

Featuring two dark red crystals on a 14k yellow gold over brass band, the Tatum ring is a trendy toi et moi (‘you and me’) design. The style is famously associated with Jacqueline Kennedy’s engagement ring, but stars such as Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande and Megan Fox have all sported their own versions in the past, solidifying its spot as a celebrity favorite. While the red colorway will help you channel Blair and Leighton, Kendra Scott allows shoppers to make this pick personal. The same piece is available in a range of colors and birthstones, such as emerald for May and cobalt for September.
Recent reviews point out that the ring makes the perfect present, even beyond February 14.
“My daughter was thrilled,” one shopper wrote. “Her coworkers loved it as well and wanted to know where it was purchased. It was a delightful gift!”
Although the Kendra Scott ring makes a statement on its own, Meester gave her look a fashion-girl twist in the photos, layering it with other jewels from her edit. She piled on styles like the Juliette Gold Band Ring in White CZ and the Davie Pearl 18k Gold Vermeil Band Ring in Freshwater Cultured Pearl — both of which ring in under $200! She also showed off other romantic accessories, including the Bold Heirloom Heart 18k Yellow Gold Vermeil Locket Pendant, which is a bit more of an investment at $320.
Whether you’re a big Blair Waldorf/Leighton Meester fan (um, who isn’t?), want to add flair to your outfits or need a good gift, the Tatum July Band Ring is truly a must-have. Shop it, along with other styles from Meester’s Kendra Scott edit, now — no trip to the Met steps required!
