Michelle Trachtenberg and Joanna García on the Gossip Girl Set
August 13, 2009 in Michelle Trachtenberg by Versus

What do we have here? 2 healthy-sized girls in pretty dresses on the Gossip Girl set.
Michelle looks nice & curvy in the hip area in that dress, but the shoes aren’t the most flattering choice.
If you’re wondering, Michelle is 23 and Joanna is 30.

… and Chace as a bonus.
See 2 more on the 2nd page!












Michelle’s doing the same mistake with her shoes again and again. She still looks really pretty, though.
I don’t know who Joanna Garcia is.
Michelle looks very pretty. I never understood why she got all that flak about being ‘fat’ and for her ‘huge, tree stump’ legs. Yes, she’s a pear-shaped girl so she gains weight on her legs. So what? That doesn’t make her fat, chubby, chunky or huge. My own legs are about half the size of Michelle’s and I still don’t think her’s are all that big. She does make some unflattering shoe choices though. But that dress is very nice. Joan Garcia looks good too, though I haven’t seen her anywhere else before. And Chace always looks hot.
Joanna is so insanely gorgeous, I love her. Michelle is stunning but why does she keep on picking shoes that are prob. the most hideous for her body shape.
JOANNA IS THIRTY?
Major props to her, then, because she looks amazing!
Michelle’s shoes cut off her legs and make them look extremely short..
Bad choice.
LOL, I kept re-reading your comment, and at each time I read ‘THIRSTY’ instead of thirty.. I was getting really confused as to why she should get major props for being thirsty and looking amazing at the same time haha.
But anyways, I agree with everything you said.
I was thinking the same thing about the ‘thirsty’ comment, HAHA.
ok something odd is going on with that word; i was reading same thing over and over LOL
haha I kept reading thirsty too & couldn’t figure out what was so great about it. She’s gorgeous though .. I used to love her when she was on Reba.
Michelle looks really pretty, but her shoes are very unflattering to her legs
The most gorgeous person in those photos is definitely Chace
Joanna is really pretty too though. And Michelle is alright.. Could use some toning and a new stylist though.
I totally agree with ya especially the Chace part hehe
So Michelle isn’t too big but Hilary is?
Good point!
I think Michelle is a stunner (especially the skin, hair and hips) and is nowhere near fat but she’s a bigger size than Hilary Duff so I don’t get what the big fuss was about…
At least Hilary doesn´t have cankles.
michelles legs are wrong on so many levels.
Dang I’m 30 and I don’t feel or think I look old at all. Didn’t realize it was so shocking to still look cute at 30.
I was just thinking the same, I’m 27 and if thirty is too old to look good just kill me now. I plan on looking young and cute well into my fifties. Without plastic surgery, botox, or collagen. It’s all in how you take care of your body and mind, and how you carry yourself!
They both have ugly legs. There is just nothing about Michelle’s body that i like, and with the other girl, I think it’s just the knees that are making her legs look ugly because she’s a pretty thin girl.
T R U E !
What’s wrong with the other girl’s knees?
That’s what many, many knees look like, sans photoshop.
michelle shape is so cute.
I think that dress looks absolutely darling on Michelle! Her choice of footwear on the other hand…oy vey!
You know…not every girl is “blessed” with nice legs. Michele is an absolutely beautiful girl, and her legs should not take away from that. I have large calves myself, but you know what, I’m not a big girl. Actually, she and I have a similar body shape. I can’t say that I love my legs, but I don’t feel that they make me “hideous” or unattractive. It’s all genetics guys. I work out every day and my calves are still a solid 17 inches at the widest point.
I would like to say that I am really happy to be seeing more and more positive comments about Michele, and it’s nice to know that these people see beauty instead of faults. Granted, the shoes are no good, but hey, if she’s happy then who are we to tell her she looks terrible!? If she feels good then so do I.
End of rant.
It’s funny because on here where mostly women comment we criticise big hips and fuller thighs yet go onto a male forum or a youtube video by a guy they worship girls like Michelle!
E.g. There was a post of Kimberly Walsh where everyone was saying her legs are this and that blah blah. Then I followed a link one guy put on there dedicated to her booty and it was a different story!
The guys on there were going on about how hot her butt, hips and thighs were. Some comments were a bit gross though.
Anyway my point is that what most women hate most men love. So unless you’re a lesbian you don’t need to worry!
Each have rather unfortunate bodies. Michelle has a very pretty face, but a horrible body. If she lost 30 lbs or so and got back to how she used to look, that would be an improvement.
Not everyone can be as perfect as Chace Crawford.
Do you honestly think she can lose 30 lbs and then look perfect? It would only make her seriously underweight and STILL her legs would be bigger than the rest of herself. It’s ok to like skinny, but you should know that there are many different body types and not everyone can be skinny. And NOT ALWAYS losing weight would make someone look better. You really can’t change your body shape, no matter how much weight you lose. Well, probably if you starve to death and only bones are left, then you have no shape at all.
true say
I too suffer the hideous leg syndrome. But I would not wear a skirt above the knee and hideous shoes. Michelle needs to dress better for her body shape. Nice waist and hips, but cover up those thighs/knees and pick a better shoe.
Although obviously this was a wardrobe choice by the show……….. if they’ve put her in that, there’s no way those hilary duff rumours are true. If they let michelle be that size, hilary can’t have been asked to lose weight as I’m sure she’s tiny in comparison.
Joanna, seems like she has a good body, just an ugly face in these pics.
I’m sure Hillary is big compared to Michelle. It’s a matter of perspective. They are probably the same, just that Hillary has a heavier upper body, while Michelle has a heavier lower body. No way Hillary would qualify as tiny.
Recently been watching Privileged, (starring Joanna), and i love it! She’s a really great actress, i thought so in Confessions of a Shopaholic too, and indeed incredibly stunning. Can’t wait to see her on GG!
Michelle’s figure is really nice, it still looks in proportion, it’s just her shape. Just not the nicest shoes…
Dress (fabric) and shoes are doing nothing for her. There something going on with (all of) Michelle’s limbs, her arms are relatively heavy too… It’s a proportion thing and would be hard to work on I believe…
