Even in the 10-plus years since it first aired, no other show has depicted New York City style quite like "Gossip Girl" — and yes, I'm including "Sex And The City." That's because Carrie Bradshaw, let's face it, was no Blair Waldorf.
To dress like Waldorf is to command an entire room just by walking into it. B wore classic pieces that nodded to timeless fashionistas of yesteryear, such as her beloved Audrey Hepburn.
How exactly do you bring that classic '60s flair to the present day? Let us show you a few items that can help.
Prim Class Hero Midi Skirt ($69, Modcloth)
You might not have to wear a uniform, but that shouldn't stop you from taking Waldorf's prep school look as fashion inspo.
Original Long Sleeve Essential Shirt ($42, Express)
A staple in B's closet, a clean-cut button-down is like the Swiss army knife of fashion — dress it up, down, or any way you like.
Dillon Sheer Clip-Dot Tie-Neck Shirt ($66, Banana Republic)
If you want to be your own Blair Waldorf, then you need to master the art of the front-tie blouse.
Outlander Claire Swing Coat ($84, Torrid)
New York City winters are brutal, but B's always prepared with a class trench or peacoat.
Lace Slip ($54, Savage x Fenty)
Despite the fact she was literally still just a high school student, Waldorf was no stranger to the world of risqué intimates.
Esther Williams Vintage Suit ($70, Unique Vintage)
Stay cool poolside with a one-piece worthy of a pin-up. Waldorf's worn a couple just like it.
Adeline Floral Minidress ($148, Nordstrom)
Because even Sunday afternoon brunch is an opportunity for fashion.
Large Dome Satchel By A New Day ($40, Target)
An Upper East Side princess needs a bad big enough to hide all her secrets yet light enough to dangle from her arm.
Little Paris Soft Headband ($28, Free People)
You can't channel Waldorf without her signature headband.
Beaded Headband Tiara ($50, Etsy)
Although she was rarely spotted without a classic headband, who's to say Waldorf wouldn't rock the hell out of a full-blown tiara?
Opaque Compression Tights ($15, Hue)
Tight like these were one of B's favorite ways to stay warm and add a dash of color to NYC's gray backdrop.
Black Gingham Ankle Strap Heels ($31, Lulu's)
In Waldorf's opinion, the girlier the shoe, the better.
Elegant Encounter Sequin Maxi Dress ($100, Lulu's)
