In celebration of “Gossip Girl’s” 10th anniversary, here are 15 Blair Waldorf-approved headbands
When it comes to the world of televised fashion, Gossip Girl 100 percent changed the game. The show had the best costume department since Sex and the City, and made sure to give each major character a distinct sense of style. We reveled in Jenny Humphrey’s sweetheart-turned-rocker-chick fashion, Chuck Bass’s rich-boy swag, and the effortless style of It girl Serena van der Woodsen (which launched Blake Lively as one of the biggest fashion icons of our time).
But out of all the characters on the hit TV show, Blair Waldorf has the best style of all.
Nothing could touch Blair Waldorf’s sophisticated and girly aesthetic. In a time where effortless androgyny was gaining steam, Blair’s style was so perfectly polished and unapologetically feminine that she almost never left home without a fabulous headband of some sort. Big bows, berets, headbands, and ribbons quickly became her trademark.
With Gossip Girl celebrating its 10-year anniversary, the show is as beloved as ever, with Blair Waldorf as its most memorable character.
So if you’re still convinced Blair was the ultimate television style icon of her time, why not channel her for the show’s anniversary? You may not have access to her wardrobe budget, but you can still snag yourself a nice collection of Blair-inspired headbands. And that’s almost the same thing, right?
