Every true Gossip Girl fan has wanted to raid the closets of the Upper East Side’s elite at one point or another. From Serena’s casual take on her private school uniform to Jenny’s homemade designs, GG‘s style game is definitely up there with the likes of Sex & The City and The Nanny (Fran Fine always killed it, okay?).
Unfortunately, just like in real life, our characters would sometimes take a fashion risk so big that it just didn’t pay off. And while we of course forgive them for their crimes against fashion, that doesn’t mean we won’t go back and relive all of those moments… sorry, B!
Take a look at some of Queen B’s most disastrous looks from the show:
1. Teal Tragedy
The patterns… the colors… the hat… *clutches pearls*
2. Green & Yellow
Would it be too harsh to say that these colors look like different types of mold?
3. Tweed Shorts
The tights and pattern-mixing just make this ensemble look really sloppy.
4. Blair as a… Butler?
I don’t really know what’s going on with this vest (or the rest of this outfit) but B needs to change ASAP.
5. Polka Dot PJs
I know these are technically just Blair’s sleeping attire, but I gotta say, I expected a lot more from the Gossip Girl stylists.
6. All-Beige Everything
Blair is not an 85-year-old, so why is she dressing like one?
7. This Blue & Yellow Blunder
Should I start with the yellow checkered coat or the pink feather on her hat?
8. Too Much Plaid
Not only is B wearing both a plaid coat and scarf, but her oversized green bag just looks clunky and out of place.
9. Pattern Clashing
How do I unsee this?
10. Lemons & Pearls
If Blair just swapped this skirt for something simpler and in the same color palette as the rest of her outfit, this look probably wouldn’t have made our list.
11. Are Those… Orange Leggings???
The thick neon belt and leggings just look cheap—especially standing next to Chuck in his bright orange coat.
12. Green, Yellow & Polka Dots
Not only is that shade of yellow way too similar to phlegm, this oversized green coat just makes her look more boxy than chic.
13. Preppy in Red
Blair should’ve asked Dorota to burn this purse for her.
14. Put Down the Purse, B.
This outfit might have been tolerable if it wasn’t for B’s scene-stealing purse that clashes with just about everything she’s wearing.
We still love you, B!
