The cast and crew of Gossip Girl took over midtown this week and welcomed Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff to the fold.

The show filmed scenes Wednesday of a fictitious movie premiere for "Fleur" at the Ziegfeld Theater, creating a strange mix as real paparazzi and fans mingled with extras dressed as paparazzi and fans. According to security, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Blake Lively and guest co-stars Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff shot interiors during the day and exterior red carpet scenes Wednesday night until after midnight.
