Taylor Momsen doesn’t make many public appearances, but when she does, it’s like spotting a unicorn wearing leather. It’s rare, it’s majestic, and you can’t stop staring.
The 31-year-old former Gossip Girl star rocked up to the KidSuper Funny Business Comedy & Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week on Monday (September 9) and decided to spice things up. How? By giving everyone a little peekaboo moment. She strolled in topless under a jacket, as if it’s the most casual thing in the world, and used duct tape as pasties. Yes, duct tape! Because why use regular pasties when you can slap on some hardware store chic?
For those living under a rock (or maybe just off social media), Taylor’s journey to rock goddess status began in the early 2000s when she played the cutest Who in Whoville, Cindy Lou Who, in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Fast forward to the iconic role of Jenny Humphrey in Gossip Girl — you know, the one who lived in perpetual eyeliner rebellion. But now, she’s fully embraced her inner rockstar as the frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless, trading in headbands for guitars and, apparently, shirts for tape.
Because who needs fabric when you’ve got confidence and duct tape?
