How to be like Blair Waldorf

Blair Waldorf is the main character from the Gossip Girls series. She’s rich, fabulous, social, looks amazing and can be a total bitch! She always gets what she wants…who wouldn’t want to be like her?

  • Try getting blue contacts and dyeing your hair very dark brown. You can blow dry or straighten it, as long as it’s healthy and shiny. Blair is 5″4, with brown eyes and straight brown hair or sometimes might do loose waves depending on the occasion. At the start of the series, her hair is long, but then she gets it cut in a short style.
  • Dress preppy, but also a little bit sexy. If you can, get designer brands – some of Blair’s favourites are Chloe, Marni, C&C California, Calvin Klein, True Religion, Seven, Dior, Habitual, and Missoni. Also, remember her favourite colour is shell pink, but she isn’t obsessed with it – try to get a pink polo. Blair also loves cashmere, designer bags, and shoes. She has expressed her dislike for Target, so stay away from their clothes. Shop outlets, clearance sales and TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Loehmanns for the shoes and bags. Whatever you wear, make sure its hot and looks like what a Manhattan socialite would wear.
  • Be very smart and a perfectionist. Blair is at the top of her class, speaks French fluently, and excels at all of her subjects. Try not to ever fail anything. If you do, lock yourself in your room and feel sorry for yourself while watching “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
  • Don’t be afraid to be mean, but do it discreetly. this means freezing out other people and spreading nasty rumors. Don’t ever confront someone , or say some cheesy comeback, that’s just desperate.
  • Do whatever you want to do, but don’t mess up or embarrass yourself or your family! Drink, have sex, swear. Do whatever you want, but just don’t be seen passing out or puking out of a taxi.
  • Play tennis, but don’t get REALLY into it, remember it’s just a fun hobby for Blair.
  • Go tanning with your friends, don’t be afraid to sunbathe topless if you are on a private beach.
  • Be popular, or at least be the head of your group.
  • Go to/throw a lot of parties and functions.
  • Have a gorgeous preppy boyfriend. He doesn’t have to be smart, but he has to be VERY sexy and desired, as well as verry preppy. Bonus points if he’s rich and loves sailing.
  • Make a big deal out of everything other people do that annoys you, but rarely whine about yourself.
  • Try to stretch out fights for as long as they can last. Make sure they are the one apologize.
  • Be a drama queen, but still remain cool. Don’t cause a scene in public, but if your pissed off, make sure everyone else knows it!
  • Be confident. Know that you are always right.
  • You should ever feel bored or deprived of attention. If it feels like your (LONG TERM) boyfriend is ignoring you, call them exessively, buy them presents and leave them notes until they pay you attention again. If you feel bored, either watch an Audrey Hepburn movie, go shopping/into the city, go get coffee with friends, read a magazine such as Vogue or Elle, take a bath with luxury products, go see a movie, or if you are DESPERATE watch TV.
  • Go on lots of really nice vacations! Don’t camp or stay in a trailer, always insist on a great hotel, and don’t go anywhere boring. Somewhere on the coast, or somewhere overseas/exotic is good.
  • ALWAYS get what you want, no matter what you have to do to get it.
  • Blair isn’t a slut, she doesn’t sleep around or dress like a desperate ho. But she does dress sexy, for example leather pants, singlets, sexy dresses and tasteful miniskirts.
  • Her icons are Audrey Hepburn, Marylin Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
  • Get off the computer! She really only uses the computer for homework, and for checking her email/IMing.
  • Wear cute underwear.
  • Be on the A-List for parties, get-togethers..whatever else
  • Wear a ruby ring on middle finger, left hand.
  • Use Fredric Fekkai shampoo & conditioner. Or whatever makes your hair look delicious and glossy.
  • Boyfriend is on speed dial #3.
  • It will be difficult for you to live like her if you don’t have a lot of money.
  • It will be difficult for you to be like her if you are stupid or if you are uncomfortable with being mean.
  • People may hate you if you get this wrong and turn into a bitchy, desperate attention-seeker, instead of being a confident, in-control attention-lover!
  • Just because Blair occasionally makes herself throw up doesn’t mean you should too! This could lead to a serious eating disorder.
  • Blair, as others in the Gossip Girl series, smokes. But Blair is a fictional character, and this is not something you should follow.
