5 Pieces Blair Waldorf Would Wear in 2019
When Gossip Girl first landed on my TV in the 2000s, I watched the show as much for the permanent drama and twists in the storyline among the Upper East Siders as I did for the fashion moments. If you were a fan of the show like I was, you will be quick to recall the iconic looks of the inimitable Blair Waldorf.
Right now, it seems like just the right moment for many of Blair Waldorf’s closet staples to start bubbling back up—but with tweaks that all feel very of the moment. Yes, all of Queen B’s super-preppy wardrobe essentials are back, but now fashion girls are wearing them in completely new ways that make them worthy of the 2019 fashion scene.
Ahead, shop the five pieces you’d be sure to see her wearing on the steps of the Met—and see how the fashion set is inspiring us to style them for ourselves.
BUSTIER SILHOUETTES
Bustier and corset shapes made a grand entrance seasons ago but continue to prove they're here to stay. Blair Waldorf was a fan of the silhouette on Gossip Girl and would no doubt have her closet stocked with 2019 versions.
LOGO TIGHTS
Tights were a Blair Waldorf staple—regularly worn with her school uniform. Today though, she would be swapping out ribbed tights for designer logo styles.
CARDIGANS
Cardigans are a mainstay in Waldorf's wardrobe, and in 2019 she would so be bringing them back into rotation.
HEADBANDS
Blair Waldorf never met a headband she didn't love, and I hope she held onto them because they're definitely back in style.
LACE-UP BOOTS
Lace-up boots lined Waldorf's closet, but in 2019 she would be swapping out low-rise versions for sleek leather styles like the coveted Kate boots from By Far.
