When we think of celebrity fashion, we not only think of actors and actresses, but the roles they portray on TV or film as well – especially if the character has made a significant impact in the fashion industry. Who doesn’t love Manhattan’s prettiest mean girl, the Queen “B” – Blair Waldorf?! Blair is a well-loved fictional character from the hit TV series, Gossip Girl; and just like a true modern fashion icon, actress Leighton Meester’s character in the show gives us some serious fashion inspiration. We all look forward to her sophisticated, preppy, tailored and polished style in every episode of the show.
Her sense of style reminds us of the 1950s and 1960s-era mod glam movement and she exudes the feminine, sophisticated and classy elegance of Audrey Hepburn. We rarely see her wearing pants, especially jeans – that’s a huge no-no for the Queen “B”! The only problem is that following her sense of fashion may be too expensive for most people.
The beneficial aspect about Lily Boutique is you can obtain Blair Waldorf’s style for so much less! Here are some of the Blair Waldorf-inspired dresses that you will absolutely fall in love with! Grab the Queen B’s fashion style with these lovely dresses inspired by Gossip Girl’s Miss Blair Waldorf:
Lacy dresses and hosieries are some of the staples in Blair Waldorf’s outfits. With that, we bring you our Delightful Days Lace Dress, a very flattering lace dress that exudes femininity and charm. This simple yet gorgeous purple dress is designed to flatter most body types. Why do we love this dress? It has a versatile look that you can dress up with stilettos, or dress down with more casual sandals.
We’ve seen Blair Waldorf wearing lovely chiffon blouses and dresses and who wouldn’t love our Garden Fairy Beaded Lilac Chiffon Designer Dress by Minuet? The dress is made with a luxurious-looking chiffon fabric that flows beautifully as you move. The details of the dress include subtle ruffles and chiffon petals that add to the whimsical, dreamy look of this fabulous dress!
First impressions will definitely last with the Raindrops on Roses Chiffon Designer Dress by Minuet. Lily Boutique features dresses that are similar to Blair’s dresses that flutter perfectly with her every movement, in colours like peach, champagne and beige that all compliment a variety of skin tones and colours.
Another dress that screams “Manhattan’s elite” is this sweet Honeycomb Lace Overlay Strapless Designer Dress by Minuet. It’s one of those perfectly polished dresses that you will see Blair wearing at a cocktail party, and now anybody can look just as divine as she is in this dress!
Some other tips to achieve that celebrity style, Blair Waldorf look:
1) Dresses, skirts, tights, tailored jackets, designer trench coats and stockings are some of Blair’s must-haves. She will never get caught dead in denim pants!
2) Headbands. You’ll want to try different types of each and every kind of headbands if you’re determined to achieve Blair Waldorf’s style!
3) Matching purses, shoes and accessories. Blair loves cute, designer purses that blend well to her outfits and accessories, so you might want to experiment with those.
4) Natural and neutral, with pretty pink or rocking red lips. Blair never goes wild with makeup. Neat, natural, and sophisticated is always the theme of her makeup.
So check out our collections here at Lily Boutique for more celebrity style, worthy of gossip!

Lily Boutique’s Picks of the Week
Lazy summer nights offer the perfect excuse to curl up with a good book or a beautiful movie. Here’s what we’re loving this week. We’re reading … Set against the back drop of smoky New York jazz clubs of the 1930s, this debut novel by Amor Towles features a fun-loving trio trying to find their way in The Big Apple. In the dog days of the Depression, some girls knew how to have fun. Kate Kontent and Eve Ross, roommates in a New York boardinghouse, have mastered the knack of going out on virtually no money. Our kind of duo. Although they don’t rely on male generosity, when they meet an apparent swell on New Year’s Eve in 1937, they’re happy to take him around to their favorite jazz dives – and to let him buy rounds – and an odd threesome is formed. As they sneak into Marx Brothers movies and nurse their cheap gin, the world is gearing up for both renewed prosperity and, ultimately, war. Towel has captured the ambiance of 1938 New York in such a way, it was all we could do not to don the Pink Shells Twisted Maxi Dress – with all of its jazz club glamour – and hot foot to New York. After all, if the main characters can do High Society on a budget, we’re pretty sure we can too! We’re watching … Who loves Audrey Tautou? We do! We do! Her latest flick is called Beautiful Lies and we’ve already pre-popped the popcorn so that we can race right into the theatre to watch it. An anonymous love letter leads to a slew of misunderstandings in this lighthearted comedy starring Audrey Tautou (who we’re still in love with after Amelie). When Emilie opens a heartfelt love letter from a secret admirer, her first instinct is to throw it in the trash. The skeptical salon owner has a change of heart, however, when she realizes what such a sentiment would mean to her lonely, despondent mother Maddie (Nathalie Baye). On a whim, Emilie forwards the letter, and goes on with her day. But later, when Maddie happens across Jean (Sami Bouajila) – a smitten Arab handyman and the original author of the amorous note – the mother and daughter find themselves in a heated competition for the same man. Audrey’s darling little outfits are distinctly Parisian in this visual feast. You can get the look with our Birds of a Feather dress. We’re listening to … British singer/songwriter Eliza Doolittle — who took the name from Audrey Hepburn’s My Fair Lady character — has finally released her gorgeous, gorgeous eponymous debut album. Not only does she sound amazing, her fashion sense makes us drool. For something distinctly Doolittle, try our Think Pink Pencil Dress on for size. What are you reading, watching and listening to this week? We’re always on the look our for recommendations! x
