She may have hung up Serena van der Woodsen's Christian Louboutins five years ago, but it seems Blake Lively isn't quite ready to bid 'adieu' to her Gossip Girl character just yet.

Delighting her 20 million Instagram followers, the 30-year-old just posted a photograph of herself in the back of a taxi looking up towards the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.

'Spotted,' she captioned the post, in reference to the famous show.

The teen drama series - which ran from 2007 to 2012 - was narrated by a blogger known as 'Gossip Girl', which often began with the term 'spotted' before revealing titbits about a certain character or event.

Fans couldn't get enough of the mother-of-two's nod to the hit CW show.

'I miss gossip girl! Xoxo,' wrote one fan.

Another suggested a new episode plotline, writing: 'Spotted Serena van der Woodsen upset in the cab. Guess she wasn't that smart. Will B forgive her? XOXO'.

Lively's post comes days after she poked fun at herself during NYFW, revealing her eldest daughter, James, is her biggest fashion critic.

'True story: As the elevator closed my daughter yelled after me, "Oh no mama, you forgot your pants!,' she captioned a photograph of herself wearing an over-sized jumper with bare legs.

Don't worry Blake, we're sure Serena would approve of your fashion evolution.
