Other than the scandal, it’s the fashion that has us fixed to our screens during Gossip Girl, and the final episode of the fourth season promises to be one of the most stylish yet, as Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester were spotted outside New York’s The Plaza in their black tie finest.

Sheltering in the hotel entrance, Leighton revealed a glimpse of a sequin ball gown under a warming nude coat, while Ed donned an Ikat print jacket over one of his signature suits.

While Chuck’s been courting new girl Raina in recent episodes, we sense a reunion for him and on-off love Blair, or a joint scheme at least, if these pics are anything to go by!

We can only wait and see though, as it seems even Ed himself is yet to find out the pair’s fate, recently revealing to InStyle: “We’ll see where it all goes. Maybe one of them should die like in Romeo & Juliet!”

Later that evening at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio launch, Kelly Rutherford confirmed Westwick’s story: “They’re actually crossing out parts of the script, and we won’t even get it until the day we’re shooting. They’re all red, and you can’t copy them. They won’t even tell us [what's going to happen] anymore.”

Matthew Settle stopped by, and he had two theories about the script clampdown. “Maybe the writers aren’t sure what they’re going to write yet, because they want to be up to date,” he said. “I mean, who knows what’s going to happen in Egypt, and what they might have to use as a social reference for the show. So there’s that aspect.” His other idea? “They don’t want it leaking. They’ve gotten tight with everybody in the cast. In the past, there were too many loose lips sinking ships.”
