The Best Of Her headband collection

by Shorey Andrews

She's the sassy overachiever with a handful of puns ready to aim at any enemy that dares to cross her path. I am talking of course about the unforgettable force to reckon with, Blair Waldorf. This feisty Upper East Sider dreaded playing runner-up to her best friend Serena van der Woodsen, so she made it a constant challenge to try to beat her at everything.

The main thing these two Gossip Girl characters consistently had in common was their incredible ability to always look fabulous. Sure, their over-the-top lavish lifestyles had a heavy hand in their attire, but you can't deny it takes talent to put together even the most luxe closet of designer pieces into such flawless ensembles 24/7. Whether accessorizing for a day at Constance, or finding the perfect gown for a ball, Serena and Blair were a duo that dazzled.

Queen B stuck to her own personal tastes, but for many seasons her main fashion staple was a wide range of adorably perfect headbands. The complexities of this most critically acclaimed character of the Gossip Girl series are too detailed to draw out, but what we can do is have some fun taking a trip down memory lane and see once again, all of Blair's best hair pieces.

1. THE PERFECT MATCH FOR HER SCHOOL UNIFORM

This wasn't the only headband she wore to school, but the big red bow certainly became one of her most memorable looks.
