Hey Upper East Siders, looks like those rumors are true: Gossip Girl is officially coming back.
While it s been almost 10 years since the show was on the air, we ve never forgotten the transformative power of a statement headband, as exemplified by the one and only Blair Cornelia Waldorf. And before a new teen steps in to rule the youngest of Manhattan s elite on HBO Max, proper attribution must be paid to the original queen, who made the standout hair accessory practically a high school rite of passage. (Yes, I’ll admit to owning more than a few crowning pieces—one to match every permutation of my prep school uniform.)
Fortunately, for those of us who still crave the varsity styles of yesteryear, a new crop of outfit-making headbands have arrived to bring the headband into adulthood. There s Lele Sadoughi s cream colored topper printed with dainty flowers, courtesy of a Loveshackfancy collaboration, and Simone Rocha s red crystal option that will pair just as seamlessly with cozy fall knits as it does with this season s one piece suits. And as for a piece that a now 28-year-old Waldorf would surely be seen in, perhaps pushing a baby carriage alongside Chuck Bass on Madison Ave? Look to Jennifer Behr s pearl embellished velvet option—it s fit for New York royalty. Xoxo!
