Everyone has that one celebrity/character they cannot help but obsess over. Their style captures your attention and you wish you could swap wardrobes with them. Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester), Mary-Kate Olsen and Taylor Swift are my style heroines. Quite a varied bunch I agree, I tend to adapt my style depending on my mood and the occasion, yet I love all 3 as inspiration. Below I have summarised each of their styles and matched them to high-street garments so that you too can recreate their looks! (Links are listed at the end of the post)
Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.
Style: Preppy, classic, feminine.
Trademark garment: Hairband
Blair Waldorf epitomises the quintessential upper-east-sider. Her whole style is so polished it is clear she has had a large number of professional stylists getting her ready every day. Perfect hair styles, freshly pressed elbow pads and neat pleated skirts embody her sophisticated grace.
Blair on a budget:
Pearl Hairband- £12.99 from Zara
Embellished Jacquard Skater Dress- £75 from Oasis
Patterned Black Clutch- £12 from ASOS
Mary-Kate Olsen
Style: Bohemian, simple, vintage.
Trademark garment: Designer Sunglasses
Co-owner of ‘The Row’ label, Mary-Kate’s grunge chic is rather revolutionary. She is the prime example that less is more and simplicity is cool. She wears very little colour and her style seems effortless, yet it always works. Her signature day-look is slouchy tees and oversized jumpers with ripped vintage denim shorts/jeans paired with grunge Chelsea boots/brogues. She opts for a bohemian style evening look which is embodied with long wavy hair, glittery smokey-eye and long (occasionally Grecian) gowns.
Mary-Kate on a budget:
Sunglasses- £13 River Island
Oversized Jumper- £15 from Boohoo
Ripped Denim Shorts- £28 River Island
Taylor Swift
Style: Cute, feminine, sweet
Trademark garment: Skater dress
Taylor’s style is typically girly, she tends to dress innocently and reserved, she wears clothes which flatter her long legs and tiny waist. She is prone to styling sweet dresses with skater skirts, peter pan collars and pastel shades which creates a princess-like reputation. Her style is classic and exemplifies being young, fun and care-free.
Taylor on a budget:
Skater Dress- £21 Forever 21
White Watch- £75 by Olivia Burton
Nude Heels- £39 by Miss KG (Kurt Geiger) from House of Fraser
