20th Century FoxBlake Lively steps into Marilyn Monroe's heels for the upcoming 100th episode of Gossip Girl.
The starlet, as her character Serena van der Woodson, dons a platinum wig, gloves, a pink dress and loads of jewels for a modern-day, primetime interpretation of Marilyn's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Accordingly, the men of the hit series take on the role of "Marilyn's" male chorus of admirers -- including Ed Westwick, Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford.
Leighton Meester, aka Blair Waldorf, isn't left out of the dream sequence -- she makes an appearance as Audrey Hepburn.
Check out a gallery of photos from the episode and watch it Monday on the CW!
