Get The Look: Blair Waldorf

Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl is everyone's favorite mean girl. She's a girl of extremes, Serena Van Der Woodsen's frienemy, Manhattan fashionista and socialite idolized by millions of girls despite her bad attitude. No matter how she behaves, we still love her perfect sense of fashion. Queen Bee's style is sophisticated, ladylike, preppy and elegant. Fashion Is My Drug has some tips and tricks for getting her looks.


Blair's style icon: As you probably know, Blair's role model when it comes to fashion is Audrey Hepburn and she often channels Audrey in her outfits. Blair wears tiaras, hats and pearls when she wants to glam up her combinations and look classic and feminine.






Blair's wardrobe essentials: Popular Upper East Sider absolutely loves feminine dresses and skirts, she always tries to look as girly as possible. She mixes different prints, colors and shapes but she would never wear something casual or boho.

- Ruffles & puff sleeves are her favorite details, regardless of the season. If you want to add ruffles to your outfit, we suggest you to wear just one ruffled item while the rest should be plain. Of course, you're allowed to play with different styles of accessories. You can, for example, wear your ruffle outfit with oversized sunglasses and a silk scarf. Number of possibilities is unlimited!



- Lace in every form and color is one of her trademarks. It never goes out of fashion and looks great with almost everything! Queen B likes showing her perfect shaped legs in lace stockings and baby doll dresses, sometimes she even bravely wears 2 different lace prints and pulls it off like no one before.
Baby doll dresses are a must-have this season, so if you have one, wear it with pumps for a sexy but feminine look.


- Prints are a must in Blair Waldorf's wardrobe. We've noticed that B. likes floral and fruit prints on her skirts and dresses more than any other pattern, which adds a romantic touch to her everyday looks.




-Silk and chiffon blouses more than anything else in her wardrobe tell on that Blair's style is polished and preppy. They're always full of details: prints, bows, lace, ruffles, puff sleeves, buttons, collars and different kinds of belts make her blouses interesting and unusual. She always wears a blouse with shorts or skirts, and lace stockings in cold days, but you can also wear it with skinny trousers to add a personal touch.




-Vibrant colors: Don't be afraid to mix different colors in one outfit. Blair shows us that vibrant colors, such as green, orange and yellow, complement each other, so the final effect is a fresh, cheerful look.
If you're wearing a little black dress, match it with green coat and yellow tights. You can also match simple white blouse with orange skirt and yellow bag.





 -Cardigans are always a good choice. She wears whole variety of colors and designs so be brave when selecting cardigan that will make a statement. Don't be afraid of unusual ones as that's who B. is.





- Dresses: Have you ever seen Blair wearing denim? NO ! There are only few scenes when she's wearing trousers so you can forget those if you want to be like B. Have a dress for every occasion and even when you are wearing sexy one, never reveal too much as B. always remains classy.









- Tights: Wearing dresses and skirts only means you must be creative with your tights during autumn/winter time. Blair wears them in many colors and prints






- Hairstyle: The final touch to get Blair's look is to wear headbands. They are her signature look and they come in all colors and materials from romantic bows & lace to chic colors and designs.



- Trousers:And if you really cannot be without trousers & pants in your wardrobe, here are some ideas how to wear them and remain ladylike. Don't forget that denim is not an option for B.



Get The Look: Serena Van Der Woodsen

Serena Van Der Woodsen, played by Blake Lively, is one of the main characters on CW's show Gossip Girl. She's extremely popular, an IT-girl adored by guys and envied by girls. Serena's style can be described as boho chic with a rocker vibe. She mixes textures, accessories and colors and always looks perfect on the show . Serena is not afraid to play with different trends and styles, she likes vintage designer clothes, which makes her outfits look effortlessly stunning. Here are some advice how to get her look.


Hairstyle: Serena has beautiful long, wavy blonde hair. To get those imperfect waves, apply a small amount of mousse on wet hair and blow dry it. Curl your hair in sections, starting with bottom layers. Don't worry about making it perfect, because beauty of her hairstyles is in their imperfection. She also likes different kinds of braided ponytails and buns for glam occasions.


Sexy dresses: Serena likes to show off her amazing figure, that's why she often picks short & sexy dresses. Try to find simple dresses and complete the look with high heels and vintage jewelry. 
Don't show too much cleavage in order to keep it classy.






Glamorous gowns: The most popular Upper East Sider adores glamorous evening gowns. The textures are  silky and soft, which makes her look delicate and feminine. If you want her glam style, wear sequined or silk gowns with neutral make-up, and also tone down your hairstyle to avoid looking overdressed.







Sequins: Serena Van Der Woodsen is crazy about sequins! To sparkle like this IT girl, have at least one  sequined item. She adores shiny blazers, so you can match it with plain white shirt, designer handbag and badass shorts.




Shorts & skirts: Serena is proud of her toned, moisturized legs and she loves showing them. If you have legs like hers, feel free to wear miniature shorts, but always remember to keep the rest covered. She often combines sexy shorts/skirts with heels, boho accessories and high end bags such as Chanel, Valentino, Mulberry... The key is in simplicity!







Hats: When S.has a "bad hair day", she hides her messy hair under the hat and the problem is solved! If classic fedora hats are not your style, you can pick a simple winter cap as a fabulous accessory.





Scarves: In winter, Serena likes to keep it warm and cozy, that's why she chooses a cashmere scarf as an ultimate accessory for cold days in New York.



Blazers: Epaulette and boyfriend blazers are a must-have when it comes to Serena's style. A quality blazer can turn any outfit into the most stylish look. Serena matches them with both casual and dressy combinations.



Colorful handbags: With a designer bag to die for, her outfits are complete. Serena likes bright colors for handbags and she can pull them off with almost anything. She's a huge color-block fan, so if you're, like her, brave enough to mix different colors in one outfit, we suggest you lime green or royal blue leather bag.





Jewelry: Huge, bold pieces of jewelry make Serena's everyday outfits look fresh and always interesting. Make sure that you don't over-do it, so don't mix 2 or more items, just one big piece is enough to spice up your look!
