The Gossip Girl characters may have their share of problems—countless love triangles, endless blackmail and epic family feuds—but through everything, they manage to weather the storms in style.
The women of Gossip Girl embody New York Style, and with the following tips, you can, too. Below we’ve broken down each of the leading ladies’ personal styles and provided an essential piece that we think symbolizes their looks.

Blair Waldorf is the quintessential queen of the Upper East Side, and it’s obvious in the way she presents herself. She never leaves the house in anything less than perfection. Her go-to items are tailored blazers and structured bags. But remember, if you want to emulate the Blair Waldorf look, you’re going to need the attitude to match.

Jenny Humphrey has gone from a timid wannabe to a punk rock Manhattan princess. Her wardrobe reflects her rebellious disposition. She can usually be found wearing oversized sweaters and over-the-knee boots.
Vanessa Abrams is the show’s artistic hipster. She doesn’t conform to the traditional Manhattan stereotypes. Still, she always looks cool and casual in bold prints and chunky jewelry.
