If anyone was born to nab a role in the long-anticipated reboot of Gossip Girl, it was Tavi Gevinson.

Long before influencers and Instagram selfies dominated fashion week, as a teen the Chicago-born actor had the Noughties fashion industry at her feet, inspiring designers like Marc Jacobs and Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy, and rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities on the FROW thanks to her ‘more is more’ layering and astute sartorial analysis.

From Rodarte tights, a Comme des Garçons-inspired trench coat and a lace crown, to a white vintage wedding dress at NYFW, Gevinson admits she’s toned down her aesthetic in recent years, now preferring to wear 'one layer instead of five' from brands such as Iggy NYC, Alpha60, Coach and Zac Posen.

'My preferences have changed,' she tells ELLE UK during a game of ‘It’s A Mood’. 'With shopping, at least, I'm like "unless I'm absolutely sure I want something I don't want it". And if you're doubting it you're not excited and you'll find something better.'

Watch our latest episode of It's A Mood with Tavi Gevinson above.
