On Gossip Girl, Katie Cassidy plays Juliet, the new girl you love to hate, who’s stirring up some major drama this season. But in real life, Katie’s a super-sweet girl who dished on her fun Halloween costume, awesome style, and how to really deal with mean girls.
17: What’s the biggest difference between you and your GG character Juliet?
Katie Cassidy: I’d like to think I’m actually a nice person in real life [laughs]. I’m not sure Juliet is, although she may have evidence to back herself up for all the trouble she’s causing.17: What about your similarities?
KC: She knows how to dress well, even though she doesn’t have a lot of money. I think she knows how to mix and match, and I like to pride myself a little bit, and I’m definitely learning from being on Gossip Girl.17: How would you describe your personal style?
KC: My style during the day is very casual — boyfriend jeans, T-shirts, Converse, Uggs, whatever. At night, I love heels and thigh-highs, I like something fresh and new, and I’m not afraid to push the envelope. I’m usually drawn to dark colors, but I’m starting to introduce more colors!17: Who are some of your favorite shoe designers right now?
KC: I love heels…whoever created heels is amazing! Elie Tahari, DVF, Jason Woo, Marchesa, and Alexander Wang!17: What are you being for Halloween this year?
KC: I’m being Jane from Tarzan and Jane…but not the sexy Jane, the fully dressed Jane.17: You play a mean girl on the show, but what’s your tip for dealing with mean girls in real life?
KC: I think you just have to kill them with kindness because it will eventually make them feel bad. Just be nice and don’t let it affect you!
