Be Ladylike Like Blair Waldorf

Post image for Be Ladylike Like Blair Waldorf

Leighton Meester’s character Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl is setting new trends every day. Her ladylike style is sophisticated, elegant, modern and sexy all at the same time and that’s what attracts us to her. Her style seems almost impossible to achieve unless you’re from the Upper East Side just like her and have a stylist 24/7. She is luxurious and absolutely perfect all the time.

From head to toe Blair Waldorf oozes of money, design and femininity and we would all love to look like her all day every day, but we do live in the real world, so we’ll just be inspired by her style, grace and elegance!

If you, like many others, are in awe of this fictional creature’s style, here is some inspiration.

Dresses in Style of Blair

Blair loves dresses and wears them a lot. A dress is the way to go, if you want to achieve a feminine and sexy look like Blair’s. Here are some choices in style of Blair:

Blair's blue dress

Dresses: Red Dress, Cream & Gold Dress, Patterned Dress

Blair’s dresses are colorful, fitted, short and feminine. She wears sexy dresses, but always leaves something to the imagination. Her style is characterized by the amount of detail in the clothing items, which these dresses also posses.

Blouses in style of Blair

Here are some, that I’m sure she’d love to wear:

Blair's Blouse

Blouses: White Blouse, Orange Blouse, Blue Blouse

Blair’s silky, beautiful blouses are very different. They’re far from boring and full of details. Ruffles, bows, prints, unusual collars, buttons, belts and so on make them very Blair! Choose soft and feminine materials like silk and chiffon to get the feminine look.

Cardigans

Blair wears cardigans a lot. Here are some in her style:

Cardigan

Cardigans:  Black/White Cardigan, Gray Cardigan, Short Cardigan

Cardigans have always been very ladylike. They’re good if you need to be a bit warmer, hide your arms or cover up your cleavage a little. All in all, cardigans are a great way to either dress up or dress down an outfit. If you’re going for Blair’s ultra feminine style, choose shorter cardigans with long or 3/4 sleeves with some detailing like on the picture.

Shoes in style of Blair

Blair is one of those girls who dares to wear colorful shoes, but always keeps the style very classical and is often seen wearing Mary Janes and feminine flats in style of these:

Shoes: Mary Janes, Pumps, Flats

A pair of classical Mary Janes is a must have in your wardrobe if you want to achieve the Blair Waldorf style. These shoes have been around for many, many years and they never go out of style! As I said earlier, Blair is not afraid of colour, so the colour of the shoe is all up to your imagination!

Get ready for winter Blair-style

Although she usually has a limo taking her to and from school, Blair wears winter coats just like the rest of us!

Winter Coat

Choose a coat in an unconventional shape and colour if you want to resemble Blair. She often sports the school girl style and the middle coat is perfect for that!

Coats: Red Coat, Green Coat, Gray Coat

The Hairband

Blair’s trademark is the hairband and she wears them a lot. Hairbands are not only fashionable on Gossip Girl, they’re very hot in the real world too!

Headband

Here are some pretty hairbands for inspiration! If you need even more inspiration check out the post about feather hairbands and find out how to stand out in the crowd with the right hair accessories.

Headbands: 1/2/3

Blair is definitely not afraid of wearing headbands in all colors, shapes and sizes and they do make her outfits very girly and fantastic, but we all know that Blair’s hottest accessory is Chuck Bass!

I have to admit; I had no idea who Blair was… Hahaha! I’ve heard about the show Gossip Girl from the radio but that’s about it. I hardly have time to watch tv. Anyway, I totally love her ladylike style! I’m really loving that grey dress too. Gosh, I wish I could dress like that all the time!

Milana November 11, 2009 at 10:09 pm

You need to watch Gossip Girl, Grace!! I don’t have a lot of time on my hands with school, job and blog, but there’s always time for Gossip Girl – great fashion on that show! :)

And I wish I could dress like that all the time too!

I like the ruffles, the lace and the bias-cut dresses. They’ve been out of style for too long and now, obviously, are back in.

Milana November 12, 2009 at 10:17 pm

A lot of oldies are back in this season! I love the ruffles too.

Yah, I would love to dress like her everyday ! I espessialy love the blue dress on the top. It’s so cute. And I love her coats too! The problem is that If I was wearing something like that at my school people would just think I was weard. Like “why are you wearing high heals?”

Milana November 30, 2009 at 12:45 am

Her style is great, but yeah, sometimes she looks a bit too preppy!

I want the navy dress she is wearing in one of the pictures above.
And who doesn’t love headbands? They can make outfits funkier, prettier, preppier…

Blair looks like she came out of a store window. Each character is done so well thanks to the stylist Eric damon. Jenny is a rocker, Vanessa is bohemian and Serena dresses effortlessly with expensive brands.

The link to the grey jacket doesnt work, when I click on it, it goes to the green one. Could I get the website for the grey jacket? I gotta have it!

I adore Blair’s style, and wish some magic shop would open that would have clothing, shoes, and accessories like that at an affordable price for the everyday working women! I loved the end bit of how Chuck Bass is her hottest accessory. Because let’s face it, Blair isn’t Blair without Chuck, and Chuck isn’t Chuck without his Blair.

Where´s the grey coat ? the link doesn´t work !

Milana February 13, 2012 at 10:00 am

It’s sold out :-(

Celina March 1, 2012 at 9:43 pm

Hey!
I absolutely adore her style, and I’d give anything to have it my self, but unfortunately I live in Denmark, where this style of clothing is out of league, you simply can’t get your hands on it ANYWHERE! And I don’t have enough money for shipping, so the internet is crossed out. I really don’t know to get this amazing style, and it’s so utterly annoying. If you know a website with free shipping, and not too expensive clothing, please, please, please tell me!
Love, me :D
- Oh, btw, exceptionally well written article/entry!

I know how you feel i live in Sweden and as for you i don’t afford to ship stuff from america etc but you can actually find alot of good blair style clothes in second hand store’s you should check it out. And even if you order clothes from a site with free shipping it still gets stuck in custom and you will have to pay up to 100 dollar just to get it through custom .

Hope that helpt

Milana March 3, 2012 at 8:51 pm

Yeah, customs are not fun. On shopbop they’re prepaid though, so you don’t get any ugly surprises. I’ll try to do one more piece on blair with clothes that we all can shop at (in Scandinavia too) ;)

Milana March 3, 2012 at 8:50 pm

Thanks, Celina :-) I’ll try to make a post about Blair’s style using Topshop and Asos. Those should be easy for you to order from :-) No customs, no nothing :-) I live in Copenhagen :) x

Hi, I wanted to point out that the link for the grey coat doesnt work, it takes me to the link for the green coat.
I really loved the grey one, from what store did you find it?
Thanks

Carla September 5, 2012 at 8:15 pm

Really really nice review. You really came up with pieces that define Blair’s style! I love her so much, her style is genius!

Anna October 30, 2012 at 3:44 am

Can someone please tell me where to buy the green coat in the middle of “coats” and and the red one. And also the navy top. Thanks!
