Lily van der Woodsen Has No Good Marriage Advice for Blair

Kelly Rutherford — aka Gossip Girl's Lily van der Woodsen — may not have attended the super-secret wedding between ultimate teen dream match Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, but she says she wouldn't have any words of wisdom for Meester anyway. "I don't really have any good marriage advice," she told Cosmopolitan.com with a laugh during the School of American Ballet's Winter Ball. "I've been married twice!"

"Everyone's relationship is so unique, and love is beautiful so I think if you're lucky enough to meet someone and fall in love, it's fantastic!” she said. “And she's such an incredible talent and such a beautiful human being. I just wish her the best."

But that doesn't mean Rutherford doesn't have any advice for the young actors on the show.

"I always say don't waste your fame," she said. "Really, the world needs us now. Gossip Girl really gave us an audience — I just think to waste that is sad. Go out there and pick something you really believe in or some group of people that need your help and go and do something with it."

Rutherford points to Pharrell Williams as inspiration. "Pharrell does it right," she said of the singer who just auctioned his giant Grammys hat for charity. "Pharrell's doing amazing things."

And the Smokey the Bear topper gets Lily's approval. "I love the hat! I think it's fun, it's comical, it's over the top but yet it's chic. It's fun! It's 'Why not? Let's use a hat to do something good!' And I just love that he's doing something great with it!"

Hear that, Blake Lively? Why not auction a small bit of your closet too for the greater good? The world can only hope.

Elle and Blair Fowler's Beauty and Fashion Must-Haves

Web celebs Elle and Blair Fowler have been taking YouTube by storm for five years now, vlogging, posting beauty how-tos, and talking about everything from fashion to their fitness routines.

We sat down with these two beauty queens to find out their desert island products and fashion obsessions of the moment:

When it comes to beauty:

"I absolutely love the Sisley Paris Express Flower Gel, $136, saksfifthavenue.com," Elle tells us. "Since I have such dry skin, this helps hydrate it and leaves it feeling as soft as velvet. And it's clear so I can wear it on the plane, which is when my skin needs it the most."

"We both don't leave the house without putting on Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, $70, nordstrom.com," says Blair. "It's not cakey at all, and it's full coverage, which we love."

Elle calls Christian Dior's Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm, $27, dior.com, "my bible—that and Cosmopolitan. It's that good."

When it comes to fashion:

"A wide-brimmed hat is the perfect accessory because you don't have to worry about your hair and it offers sun protection," says Blair.

The sisters, who showed up sporting oversized sunglasses, agreed that the style their both into right now are cat-eye shapes. "We love their vintage look," says Elle.

Lastly, the girls dished on how much they like a classic black quilted bag (the duo showed up with matching Chanel quilted bags with gold detailing). "It doesn't have to be expensive, but a black quilted bag is so classy and goes with everything. No matter what's underneath your coat, you always look like a lady," says Blair.
