In a delightful throwback to the past, Blake Lively, once known for her role on the Upper East Side, has joined forces with a familiar face from those days, Zuzanna Szadkowski (Dorota). This reunion comes over a decade after their popular TV show ended. The duo is now starring in an entertaining advertisement for Lively’s canned cocktail brand, Betty Booze.

On June 30, 2025, Blake Lively unveiled an advertising initiative for her canned cocktail line, Betty Booze. The campaign showcases a get-together with her Gossip Girl colleague, Zuzanna Szadkowski.

In the video, you’ll find the actresses who portrayed Serena van der Woodsen and Dorota Kishlovsky on the CW show, casually seated side by side on a park bench, reminiscing about their past characters and enjoying beverages from Blake Lively’s latest line of vodka iced teas.
