Gossip Teen

The annual December Party Issue of Savvy magazine has beautiful Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr grabbing the cover for 2010. The 25 year-old Pirahna 3D star spoke about her style, growing up in Minnesota and relationships:

On style: “I think the coolest thing is when you take your personality and put it into style. You can hire a stylist and go to fancy stores and pick out things that are on the shelves and all of a sudden you’re ‘stylish’ — it’s like no, you’re trendy.”

On family: “Growing up, my entire family lived in the same town, and we got together for everyone’s birthday and every holiday. My family has always been very, very close. I’m Vanessa when I’m on set — but off set, I’m still just Jessica from Wisconsin.”

On keeping her relationships under wraps: “With things in my personal life, if I talk about it, it doesn’t stay personal. I’m just a normal girl who really enjoys her job, and so you have to take the other things that come with being in the public eye. People are going to make assumptions, but I try to be good at what I do and work hard.”

Jessica Szohr attended the WWD 100th Anniversary Gala in New York City at Cipriani’s on November 2nd. The Gossip Girl actress chose a rather plain black jumpsuit with fab leopard print boots to the star studded fashion event.

The actress’ last movie, Pirahna 3-D is out on DVD and Blu-Ray on January 11, 2011. The movie did surprisingly well and a sequel is on the table for next year. No announcement if Jess will be part of the second go ’round with the nasty critters.

Gossip Girl actress Jessica Szohr has landed on the cover of ASOS magazine for the November 2010 edition. She is striking on the front in the black and silver draped dress and slightly messy ‘do. The beautiful Szohr tells the fashion magazine about her own style, insisting she is far more comfortable dressed down than in the glamorous clothing of her GG character Vanessa:

“At heart, I’m still a simple jeans and T-shirt kind of girl,” Szohr admits, whose personal style mixes designer items with pieces picked up at vintage shops and small boutiques. When questioned about her favorite wardrobe on set Jessica confesses, “From the show, I’d choose Jenny Humphrey’s (Taylor Momsen) style. Its grungy, rock n’ roll, looks thrown together, doesn’t look super glam.”

Szohr has her hands full with a new movie. She will costar with Joseph Cross (from Running With Scissors and Milk) in Art Machine, a film about “a child-prodigy painter (Cross) on the verge of turning 18 who is suffering from bipolar disorder and needs to come up with an art show to end all art shows. When he meets a group of artist-anarchists, his world turns upside down. Szohr plays one of the outlaw hipsters, a pyrotechnic artist who is attracted to the prodigy, but as his manic madness grows, she becomes concerned for his safety.”

Jessica Szohr attended the New York City premiere of The Tillman Story and kept her red carpet attire very simple and summer chic. The little black dress and black pumps were paired with a denim vest to take the look from overdone to easy-going and she looked marvelous.

Jessica will probably wear something a little less casual when she heads to the opening of her film Pirahna 3-D next week. (Be on the lookout for her co-star in that movie, Steven R. McQueen of The Vampire Diaries - I’m dying to know – is he or isn’t he a vampire now?)

Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr is beautiful in BCBG blue for the February cover of Teen Vogue magazine. The actress gives us details about her personal style, how she landed her role on GG and her boyfriend Ed Westwick.

On becoming more than just friends with co-star, Ed Westwick: “It kind of just happened. We had fun together, and we were like, ‘All right, let’s see where this goes.’”

On how she landed her role on Gossip Girl: “Two of my friends in L.A. invited me to this Labor Day barbecue, but I really just wanted to stay on the couch with my French bulldog,” she says. They kept calling, though, so off she went. “I remember hanging out by the pool in an old T-shirt and jean shorts, just talking to people. Three days later, my manager calls to tell me that I’d been with the show’s executive producer and one of the creators and they want me to audition.” Less than a week after that, Jessica was on her way to New York. “Nuts,” she says.

The cover shoot was done by famed fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier and the issue hits stands January 5th. Szohr will also costar in the April 2010 movie Piranha 3-D.
