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. We are entering fall, after all. You might not have to wear a uniform, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking Waldorf’s prep school look as fashion inspo. 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. If you want to be your own Blair Waldorf, then you need to master the art of the front-tie blouse. New York City winters are brutal, but B’s always prepared with a class trench or peacoat. Despite the fact she was literally still just a high school student, Waldorf was no stranger to the world of risqué intimates. Stay cool poolside with a one-piece worthy of a pin-up. Waldorf’s worn a couple just like it. Because even Sunday afternoon brunch is an opportunity for fashion. An Upper East Side princess needs a bad big enough to hide all her secrets yet light enough to dangle from her arm. You can’t channel Waldorf without her signature headband. 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? Summertime in Paris, anyone? Tight like these were one of B’s favorite ways to stay warm and add a dash of color to NYC’s gray backdrop. In Waldorf’s opinion, the girlier the shoe, the better. Because even at someone else’s wedding, Waldorf was always the center of attention.
