“The Queen Bee”
There is certainly something very special about Blair Waldorf. Ever since Carrie Bradshaw walked off our TV sets with her Manolos clicking, there has been a big TV fashion icon gap. Blake Lively’s Serena may be the commercial success of the show, with all the teen magazine covers and hair envy, but Leighton Meester has really brought Blair to life. Don’t get me wrong, I love Serena’s style too-in fact, her style is probably more like my own, but Blair packs a little something more in the wardrobe department- she really is the “Queen Bee” of the Upper East Side fashion scene.
With a designer mother, and more money than anyone needs at her finger tips, Blair has as many options as an girl could dream of. Her style is very classic, polished and preppy. She’s sophisticated, but also able to keep her look fun and young. She always looks as if she stepped out of a department store window; her outfit is flawless, and she never has a hair out of place. Blair’s fashion sense is definitely the quintessential upper-east-side stereotype, and she’s not ashamed of it!
No matter how subdued Blair’s outfit may be, she always incorporates a pop of colour in some way. Whether it’s a bright trench coat over a simple dress, a technicolor bag, or orange leggings under her school uniform, Blair gives her look punch with brights. Her favourite colours are red (her signature), orange, and yellow.
Blair is a total girly-girl at heart, and because of this, she loves to incorporate feminine touches like lace, bows, and ruffles, into her outfits. This is also her go-to look for formal events and parties.
Even when Blair is sleeping, she still looks completely chic! A Waldorf doesn’t wear regular flannel pajamas to bed - she sleeps in a designer negligee. And hanging around the house doesn’t mean wearing sweats! Blair has been known to wear a satin dressing gown instead.
What do you think? Do you love Blair’s style, or are you more of a Serena, Vanessa or Little J? Leave a comment and discuss.
