Today’s the day, everyone: The Gossip Girl series finale airs tonight (8pm on The CW)!

Maybe I’m just being dramatic, but this feels like the end of an era. I remember constantly running up my parents’ cell phone bill in high school because I could not stop texting my friends during every episode. And even though GG has run its course, I’ll never forget the amazing characters or fabulous fashion that helped shape my high school years.

On that nostalgic note, we’re finishing our Gossip Girl fashion retrospective series with our beloved queen bee – the stunning Blair Waldorf. As a devoted fan of the book series, I was terrified that the TV Blair wouldn’t live up to her fierce reputation. I was so wrong! Leighton Meester brought the lovably-neurotic Blair to life, becoming a fashion icon in the process.

From the manipulative, insecure teen queen of the earlier seasons to the passionate, dedicated fashion mogul we know and love today, Blair inspired both our lives and our closets. It’s SO hard to say goodbye, but below, we’ll give her a sendoff with 5 outfits inspired by our favorite Blair looks.

When we first met Blair in the pilot episode, she was desperate to win the devotion of her long-term boyfriend, Nate Archibald. And with an outfit like this, how could she not prevail? I think at this point, the show wanted Blair to play villain against Serena’s heroine, so it’s no surprise she’s vamping it up with lots of rough textures and black lace. She may look nice, but this B is definitely naughty.

Snag Blair’s bad girl look in a black lace dress with sheer lace sleeves. Textured floral tights and black court shoes add to this look’s vintage feel. Get some much needed Upper East Side sparkle with a sequined clutch and diamond studs (real or fake – we won’t tell!). Complete the look by paying homage to Blair’s signature accessory – a black hair wrap tied into a girlish bow. Feel like a queen yet?
