Blast From the Past! Blair Waldorf’s Best ‘Gossip Girl’ Quotes in Honor of Leighton Meester’s 33rd Birthday

Bow Down to the Queen

The brunette beauty played Blair Waldorf — the Queen B of her high school in New York City. The narrator described her as “the bitchiest, vainest girl in the entire senior class, or maybe the entire world.” Sounds about right.

All By Myself

At one point in the show, Blair proclaimed that she didn’t need a man to be happy. That quickly changed when she fell for Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). Later in the series, the duo ended up getting married.

Words of Wisdom

She continued, “You can’t make people love you, but you can make them fear you. For what it’s worth, you’re my Queen. I choose you.”

Don’t Mess With Blair Waldorf

Blair always concocted schemes to bring people down and get her revenge — she fired her teacher, she teamed up against Chuck’s dad, Bart Bass, among many other crazy ideas.

She Never Held Back

The high schooler was always blunt with her friends and family. Sometimes, she just needed to give her honest opinion!

Kiss and Make Up

It wasn’t the easiest thing for Blair to be nice to well, anyone, really. She was known to get into fights with her bestie Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively) but luckily, they always ended up putting their issues behind them.

Her Way or the Highway

Preach, girl! Even though Blair could be a little too blunt, she always made sure that she got what she wanted, no matter how ridiculous it might have been.

Get It, Girl!

Blair is the definition of a go-getter — she forged her own path instead of waiting around for fate to step in.

Revenge for Days

No one puts Blair in the corner! Would Leighton ever return to the role in the future? Uhh … probably not. “It was a very special time … that was filled with challenges that have nothing to do with [Gossip Girl] and also sometimes things that did have something to do with it,” she told PorterEdit in September 2018. “But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s sort of a time capsule.”

Tell Me You Love Me

The girl just wants to know she’s special, OK?! Pretty profound words, don’t you think?

See Ya!

Ouch. Blair wasn’t afraid to tell people when they weren’t invited to her fabulous parties — sometimes you just have to cut the guest list.

She Runs This Town

At least she lives up to her name! If anyone new came to town, Blair knew exactly how to put them in their place.

You Got Served

Blair always knew how to reference a good pop culture moment. In one episode, she told someone at a party to “pull it together” otherwise she would go “Naomi Campbell” on them.

Glow Up

During a conversation with Serena, Blair points out that her BFF’s face is glowing after she hung out with a professor. “There was no sex. Just coffee,” Serena said. Blair replied, “Coffee is the thing you have before you pay the check to go have sex.” She got you there, S.

Good Times

It’s rare to see B actually happy, but we loved when it actually happened! And so did her friends and family, probably.

Gotta Go

When Serena tried to tell Blair that she was dating Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), she wasn’t in the mood to hear the good news.

Great Advice

Yas, queen! Blair revealed that everyone person deserves “someone who would move mountains for you.”

Step Aside

Moral of the story: don’t mess with Blair. She told someone from school not to undermine her — welp.

Clapback Champ

Blair was pissed at Chuck, as per usual, and called him a “Mother Chucker.” Two words: epic clapback.

We hope you enjoy your big day, Leighton! Now, be right back going to go watch Gossip Girl for hours.
