The True Queen Bee: Monet De Haan | Style Analysis of Gossip Girl (2021)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- In this video, I will be covering Monet De Haan from Gossip Girl (2021). Initially, I was going to wait for part II of season one to be released so that all of her outfits would be showcased. I have decided to try out a new type of analysis since I adore her style and character- the upcoming video will be an analysis of her fashion in relation to character traits with the events of part I and if requested, I will break down style in relation to development once part II is out. In the first video, we will be going over her style and personal take on preppy fashion that is rooted in prestige, decadence, and heritage. I'll be deciphering the symbolism of her wardrobe in relation to her traits and goals as well as how this complements her magnetic quality that demands the room with fashion powerhouses.
We will also be looking into the sociology and psychology of her place in the world through social stratification in addition to her power trio friendship with Freudian Trio theory. Though Julien is dubbed queen, Monet is the ultimate Queen bee of the show who has a natural power, understands implementing influence, and is the mastermind serving as a PR consultant alongside their friend Luna. Through this, we will see how Monet’s fashion functions in relation to her social life on top of her defining trait of “power.” In her first look, she set the tone with her statement Balmain ensemble and as the mission statement of Balmain goes, “to always dress women in the right look for the right moment.” We will see how her fashion is always suited to and goes beyond the moment to capture her aura, command, and visually project just as she does while setting down her own path.

I really want her to get more character development. I love seeing bougie Black girl characters but this could easily turn into another negative stereotype if she isn’t given nuance and a softer side like the other characters.
Kinda sad that us black women have to worry about becoming a stereotype, always watching our behaviours too closely, all because we don't want to fit in with a stereotype...😥
Gosh, one day I hope we won't have to do that...anymore
Yess!
I know I am so intrigued by her. She's black, she's old money and she's ambitious, confident and charismatic and driven and also a mean girl and the embodiment of the queen bee.
Preach babe fr. I think we've seen a softer side to her with the small exploration into her sexuality. I really want more of her, Luna, and Max bc the main love triangle is too much bro
She doesn’t have character development? She looks like she should be the main character for the most part?
She and Luna made the new GG feel like the old GG series, they were amazing
Monet should’ve been the main character.
i loooove that you chose monet, shes def the most dynamical and intriguing character from the reboot. would love to see a part 2 as she evolves in the series
I love Monet and everything she represents. Particularly her hair omg.
Monet and Luna feel like the main characters in the show even tho they’re barely shown they’re the most interesting characters imo
season 2 has ended and this comment is still true
I will never understand how they tossed her character to the side, when she clearly holds the IT factor. In my opinion she should be the centre and clearly has the power to do so.
💯
Fr. Julian can never
Monet is my favourite of the girls costuming in the new gossip girl- she’s got a boldness that reminds me of the original made new. My only critique of her style isn’t even something she’s worn but the line where she says about Zoya “she’s wearing a headband!?” Like.. this is obviously a nod to the original series saying out with the old and in with the new etc I get that. But I have to believe even the most cynical of gen z teen is more likely to wear a headband than they are to wear a tweed blazer and a bow tie
that depends on your bank account tho... just look at chanel
@@cacagogo01 honestly? Point taken you have a point. I guess I’m thinking of the majority of people and not teens in Chanel
@@MrTwentington yah, we got to have in mind that they are new york's richest kids
The way Gen Z kids were making fun of us for wearing Skinny Jeans and middle parts...that comment isn't out of place
@@iriemonmon tbf that could be a point, like remember back when Blair was all like “TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS!” Compared to Julien rocking up in biker shorts and how most of this series is about relaxed loose fits.
Don’t get me wrong I get that style is kind of cyclical and people don’t want to look like the gen before them, and millennials who turn 30 lose their minds because some jaded 14 year old told them their skinny jeans aren’t cool anymore. So in that way I do get it I just never believed that headbands were particularly uncool or cool except on Blair
Why does she have so little screen time? Her character is so good!
I am so glad you chose to talk about Monet. She is one of the most unique supporting characters and the fact that she doesn't depend on Julien in the typical posse cliche is so fascinating. easily my favorite character from the reboot. and the fact that she is a black girl with power in a mainstream television show is just icing on the cake.
This is perfect, need a part 2 when the show comes back 🥰
I love her and audrey styles but she's the only reason I watched the season until the end, flawless video as always 🖤
Monet supremacy 🛐
Her outfits remind me of Dionne’s from Clueless.
Good point!
monet is literally the reason i started watching in the first place. thanks for the video, now i have a guide to base my personality on
Yes please for part 2, I feel like she is going one of the most dynamic evolutions. Although I feel the subtle particulars of each character are worthy of a closer look.
She's like Dionne Davenport and Blair Waldorf's lovechild
Omg yes!
Omg yes
Monet is so beautiful!
this editing style- im in luv
My dream style a mix of Monet De Haan and Audrey Hope
Keep dreaming
*lizzo voice* IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
TURN IT UP📢📢📢
really great research! especially found the research into chokers and preppy uniforms insightful. i think showing these visuals side by side Monet’s added a great engaging touch. The Freudian trio angle is certainly also a very niche exploration with fashion and character analysis beyond the typical Golden Trio.
My only nit picking is the audio editing, though I believe this is a skill learned with time and practice! I want to hear your enthusiasm that’s so evident in your research and notes and visuals in your voice as well! I want to be excited to hear your narration versus opting to pause and read the transcript because the VO and text paragraphs are telling me the same information. I can tell there is something just yet to be tapped in your natural chill cadence for the confident and commanding voice a video of Monet De Haan demands! Thanks for this video! Enjoyed this deep dive ☺️
your voice is so smooth and calming! that combined with the background music makes this video super relaxing!! also monet has my favorite style out of all of the gg2 characters.🥰
thanks for making this 😍 you’re amazing. monet is my faveee character. she’s such a queen and her confidence is truly inspiring. ofc, it’s ridiculous to actually be a malicious person like any of the GG characters, but monets power is truly something to take note of. monet (and maybe luna) is the only one that i could see surviving around blair’s era
Absolutely devoted to this channel, I love how each video feels like i'm flipping through a high fashion magazine.
I'm still begging for a docu on Anna Wintour please
Monet and Luna are the true successors of Blair & Serena, not Zoya or Julien.
Damn I agree!
100%
Yes, flip the script in season 2
Please do a part 2. Loved this video. ❤️ your voice.
love that you chose Monet! please do a part2!
Really enjoyed this video of Monet, I hope to see Part 2 as well, when the show is back!
I love Monet and would love a second parter. We finally got a rich black lesbian mean girl on tv and I live for it. I’m gay btw.
Omg this video is amazing!
Such a great way to analyze Monet’s style ✨💕
Pt 2 for sure needed
I love the editing and the effort you put into making each video.
Can you do a video on *Kathryn Merteuil* from _Cruel Intentions_ ?
Part 2 please!!!! This was SO good, as always
Great analysis! I would for sure love to see a part 2 after 1B
absolutely need to see a part 2
That was a great video, you should do Julien Calloway next or either Zoya Lott or both like a comparison and contrast between the sisters styles
Yes!
omg, amazing video as always!! Thank you so much for making these videos. I enjoy them so much.
Hopefully, we can see Luna's style next
PS: I love your voice ;)
pleaseee do a part 2 after the 2nd half of season 1 is released. monet’s style is soooo interesting and of all the characters, hers is so reminiscent of the og gossip girl.
This was a great video! Please make a part 2!
As always your video is perfect 🖤
We need part 2💕
I would LOVE to see a part 2
yesss pls do a part two!!
YESS OMG I WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT REQUESTED THIS
Could you eventually do a video about Luna style ? I love your videos they are so thoughtful and collected. A+ content ahah
Yes we need a part
Yes to Part 2!
Oh thanks for this!!! my favorite one
love this! omg pls do a style analysis for Luna La
Yes we want a part 2!!!
Loved this, please give us Julien next
Very interesting, I loved the notes on her dressing like royalty.
Loved it❤
Love love love this style analysis! Monet’s looks were my favorites. My goodness, though, the narration cadence was painfully slow. I had to watch at 1.5 speed.
Would love for a part 2
Deff need this pt 2 pls pls pls
Been waiting.🥵
I would love it if you did Zoe kravitz next please 🙏🏽. Love your videos ❤️
I hope we'll see more of her character. I see a lot of people saying that she's their favorite character, but I can't get on that. I just feel like she isn't nuanced enough. All we really saw of her is just a rude, classist rich kid. The only thing outside of that was her exploring her sexuality. Which is great but not a personality trait. Hopefully, the show will give us more of her background and other bits of her personality. I feel the same way with Luna, who we also didn't see that much of.
Do luna
Such a good video
You should definitely do Georgina Sparks from Gossip Girl
I know you're busy making more videos but since the gossip girl reboot ended could you maybe make a video of all of them especially monet, luna, audrey, and max. Personally I like their styles and I like your channel and it would mean the world if you made a video of them. tnx ☺
Thank you so much! I’m going to be continuing to cover the characters, but that is such a great idea to do a video for them all. Thank you for the request 🙏🏻🖤
Please make a part 2
Next can you make a video on Lunas style
Love this and love her
Monet would be a much more interesting main character than Julien. Her style is polished why Julien's is sloppy (not a complete mess thanks to Luna), she has the right attitude and power over the rest. I see in her more potential than just for being Julien's sidekick.
PLS DO LUNA LA NEXT! ❤️
Yay I thought so too
i love your videos
I love your videos. one question though. Since you did a revised version of Blair's style analysis, would you consider doing that to Jenny's?
Thank you, I appreciate it. No, I will not be making a habit of revising old videos. I only did so with Blair since I received requests on a daily basis to the point where I could not upload without it being brought up. The Jenny analysis is up and working with proper audio, editing, etc- in my opinion, it is fine as is. I won’t be remaking the same videos over and over again. It is a lot of work and not healthy for me to push myself in this manner. I hope this is understandable
Part 2 please
Can you please do a video on Luna! 🤍
I love your videos
please part two
Part two!!!!
Can you do Luna next??? 🥰
YEEEESSSSS!!
She seems to be getting more character development now, but I'm still not completely sold on Monet just yet. At least with Blair and Serena, they were actually friends and you could see many of the reasons for why Blair acted as she did. Monet was just cruel and rude for zero reason. I also am not crazy about her barefaced disrespect for her teachers. Even Blair saw the need to play nice whenever we saw her teachers. Plus, Monet only saw Julien as a meal ticket instead of an actual friend, which could have been more intriguing with better show writers.
♥️✨ goood
Am please do a review on luna la and jullien calloway
Monét and Luna saved the show…
Para el proximo video NECESITO ANALISIS DE EMILY COOPER DE EMILY IN PARIS. AMO TUS VIDEOS.
Could you please do Luna from gossip girl's reboot tooo please
do a review of jullien and luna
Do luna la!!!
Monet is my sister I love her
Monet would be Queen bee but she doesn’t know when to back down and observe the environment. She is too fueled with ambition
That’s what I noticed too
Luna tho 😩
I can't wait for the boho chick Luna Laa
Monet is WAY more interesting than Zoya or Julien and should've been made a bigger character FOR SURE, it's a shame her storyline wasn't as dedveloped and she wasn't made Queen B.
Watch the newseason I think your like it
me after watching season 2
There's only one Queen B and that's B.
Am I the only one that hates Monet? Love her wardrobe though
Yea
You hate her but came on here to watch video about her and comment.. see when you’re that girl..
@@kayceemorgan3838 💀💀💀
She's so rude and unlike able.
Nobody in the reboot is a "QUEEN BEE", sorry not sorry.
You sound bitter
Monet fired a teacher who refused to change her grade. Blair lost Yale after threatening a teacher to change her grade. Who's the queen now
New Queen Bee girls are so boring, just like Monet. I think the last Queen Bee on the culture pop was Chanel Oberlin.
Sounds bitter
I rather the old gossip girls. At least they were pretty.
I swear this is racially motivated.
The ggrb cast have prettier main cast. What you talking about
@@helgaobi2366 very
@@helgaobi2366I know for a fact it’s racially motivated.
