When you think of Taylor Momsen, what comes to mind? Aside from being known as ‘Jenny Humphrey’ on the hit series, ‘Gossip Girl’, the girl is also infamous for her somewhat gothic and exhibitionist way of dressing off-screen. If you’re not familiar, simply Google her. The ‘Pretty Reckless’ vocalist likes to pull grunge rock outfits that don’t really need much to put together – just a slip or a tee under a jacket and nothing else. She wears it with gartered nylons, over-the-knee boots, and raccoon make-up – essentially looking quite dark and tra*hy in the process.
But here’s the thing. It looks like Taylor’s taste in fashion is improving (or maybe she’s just growing up), because the blonde cutie was spotted all lady-like and covered up at the Marchesa Fall 2012 Show during the recently held Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

It was somewhat surprising to see Taylor wear an uber feminine lace frock paired with equally feminine pointy heels, but it was also quite refreshing (and in fact, quite a relief) to see her that way. She still wore those raccoon eyes, but we’re glad she made an effort to use blue eye shadow instead of the usual black.
It’s amazing how a single dress can transform a girl into a lady, isn’t it? This is the best look we’ve seen her in since ‘Gossip Girl’, and we’re actually hoping to see more of it in the future.
As for Taylor’s lace dress, that’s a Marchesa. If you like it, you can wait for the dress to come out or grab any of these less expensive options from eDressMe instead:
