By Alexus Mosley

“I’m the best of the best. I’m Blair Waldorf!”

If you’ve ever watched Gossip Girl and thought, I want to move through life with Blair Waldorf energy, you’re not alone. Blair is the epitome of Upper East Side sophistication: impeccably dressed, fiercely ambitious, socially savvy, and unapologetically herself. Here’s how to channel your inner Queen B in every aspect of life.

1. Cultivate a Signature Aesthetic

Blair’s looks are curated. Think headbands, pearls, cashmere coats, and perfectly coordinated bags. Define your signature “it” pieces and never leave the house without them. Your look should speak before you even say a word.

2. Throw Soirées Worth Remembering

Whether it’s a small tea with friends or a full-blown Upper East Side gala, Blair’s gatherings are effortless, elegant, and impeccably planned. Etiquette, drama, and ambiance equals unforgettable.

3. Read and Study Relentlessly

Blair Waldorf is brainy and ambitious. Keep a chic reading list filled with classic literature, fashion history, and cultural touchstones, and stay informed. Knowledge is power, and she knows it.

4. Watch Old Hollywood Movies Religiously

Cinema is Blair’s ultimate inspiration: the drama, the romance, the glamour. From Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Rear Window, every film teaches her about style, etiquette, and storytelling. Make your movie nights both chic and educational.

5. Snag a Billionaire Boyfriend (or a Partner Who Elevates Your Lifestyle)

Blair’s romantic life is iconic, from Nate Archibald to Chuck Bass. She knows a partner should match her ambition, intellect, and taste for luxury. Love isn’t just love. It’s also aspirational, dramatic, and magnetic.

6. Keep Ladurée Macarons on Hand

Every Blair moment is sweeter with pastel-hued macarons. Perfect for late-night rendezvous, chic study sessions, or gifting yourself a luxurious treat at home. In Blair’s world, food is fashion-adjacent.

7. Find an Iconic Role Model

Blair doesn’t just admire style, she studies it. Think Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, or Jackie O. Observe their poise, mannerisms, and wardrobe, and sprinkle that classic elegance into your modern life.
