1. Go Retro You can’t just wear anything when planning the next scheme on that Georgina! Especially when Chuck brings his bowtie. In Season 1, Blair went old school with a Foley & Corinna dress.

2. Shift it a Little Shifts are simple and yet add an elegant touch. Blair went with a soft gold, just perfect for that Thanksgiving feast. If only her Daddy could have made it with the pie.

3. Fake Transparency Adding dimensions and layers is key to creating some movement. Blair did just that when celebrating the end of her reign as Queen B in this Alberta Ferretti and signature Jennifer Behr headband at Nate Archibald’s grad party.

4. Just Add A Little Lace Lace has been back for a while and nothing is more feminine and sexy! Try a soft v-neck like Blair’s season 4 Christian Dior piece that she wore to yet another of Chuck’s soirees. Add a finishing touch with a statement necklace.

5. Go Bold with Metallics Blair proves that metallic has been in for quite some time in this dress by Oscar de la Renta. There is never a better time for bright and sparkly than the holidays…or when plotting revenge against your BFF in the NYU dorms.

6. Holidays Scream Sparkles Earlier this season, Blair rocked this Peter Som dress that just screams New Years – sparkly and champagne colored. Perfect for a book launching? Then perfect for a holiday extravaganza.
