The first photos have emerged from the new "Gossip Girl" spin-off, and it appears the prequel to the juicy CW hit series will be just as fabulous as its east coast counterpart.
Sporting a pink and green Argyle sweater, blazer and riding boots, Brittany Snow – who plays a young Lily Rhodes (mother of "Gossip's" Serena van der Woodsen) – filmed a scene for the new series on Tuesday near the Neptune Restaurant in Malibu.

The spin-off will follow Lily (played by Kelly Rutherford on "Gossip Girl") in her teen years in Los Angeles in the 1980s.
After a falling out, the privileged Lily is forced to move in with Carol (played by actress Krysten Ritter) – her sister and family black sheep. Having spent her childhood as a "have," attending a high-priced boarding school in Montecito, Calif., Lily must now adjust to life as a "have not" living in the much less posh San Fernando Valley and enrolling in public school.
