If there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s been living in Gossip Girl<\/em> fans\u2019 minds rent-free this year, it\u2019s the upcoming Blair<\/em> (book) sequel<\/a>. In the weeks since it was announced, TikTokers have been posting their fan theories about a TV or movie comeback<\/a>, especially after Leighton Meester recently said she\u2019s read some of the new installment<\/a>. Since the novel is currently slated for a summer 2027 release, that gives everyone plenty of time to prep-ify their wardrobes like their fave Upper East Siders \u2014 and the Bustle editors are here to help.<\/p>\n The consensus among the team: Blair Waldorf still reigns supreme. Queen B had academia chic nailed down, owned an enviable curation of outfits and statement coats, and shaped future It girls\u2019 accessory collections with her affinity for headbands<\/a> and colored tights<\/a>. Even her lingerie game<\/a> was unmatched.<\/p>\n Other characters were also fashion forces in their own right. Jenny Humphrey\u2019s goth grunge era is still a reference point for many (heavy eyeliner optional). Then there was resident baddie Georgina Sparks, whose free-spirited accessorizing arguably deserved its own Emmy.<\/p>\n To prove the theory that Gossip Girl<\/em> is more than just a nostalgia-inducing series, it\u2019s a guiding light for style, here are some of the posh items Bustle editors are shopping and coveting this season. <\/p>\n \u201cThis top is so Blair Waldorf-coded. Between the slinky satin material, puff sleeves, and oversized buttons, it’s the perfect simple-yet-sophisticated statement piece. I love that it can be dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a matching miniskirt (the latter would definitely be a Blair move).\u201d \u2014 Rachel Lapidos, deputy editor of beauty<\/em> <\/p>\n \u201cTweed is the cool-girl staple of the moment, with Kendall Jenner<\/a>, Margot Robbie<\/a>, and Zendaya<\/a> all wearing the woven material in recent months. But Blair Waldorf walked so they could all run, wearing tweed coats and full skirt sets time and time again on Gossip Girl<\/em><\/i>. A jacket is not just a want for my spring wardrobe, it’s a need. Catch me wearing it like Robbie, with a pair of oversized denim this season.\u201d \u2014 Kaitlin Cubria, deputy editor of experiences and style<\/em> <\/p>\n \u201cHerv\u00e9 L\u00e9ger was a Gossip Girl<\/em> staple, worn by everyone from main characters like Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, to guest stars like Diana Payne and Olivia Burke. And in 2026, the bandage dress is making a comeback<\/a>. This one feels like a modern take with its square neckline and is one of my top Herv\u00e9 picks (I have a ton).\u201d \u2014 Alyssa Lapid, style writer <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI’ve been eyeing these perfect moto boots. The stud details and square toe make them ideal for adding edge, whether you wear them with a dress or jeans. I can see Jenny Humphrey rocking these with a plaid skirt.\u201d \u2014 R.L.<\/em> <\/p>\n
