When Kate Middleton paired a black headpiece with a turquoise Catherine Walker coat at the recent World War I armistice service in London, she brought back memories of another queen - albeit in a sitcom and a smaller region, namely the Upper East Side - Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. But Waldorf isn't the only one. Stylist Mausam Gandhi shares how you can pull off looks set by these TV trendsetters.

The crown of Queen B
WHAT: Headbands
INSPIRED BY: Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester)
SPOTTED: Kate Middleton
* A simple hair band won't do justice. Go for something extravagant like a studded or pearl hair band or a thick striped one. You can even choose a bulky one with flowers or feathers.
* Pair it up with feminine formals like Waldorf - bandage dresses, suits, formal dresses, etc - and wear heels with it to complete the formal look.
* Hairbands look the best with hair down. Make sure to remove a couple of strands to fall over your face. Waldorf also styles it into a sleek bun or a ponytail.
DON'T: Waldorf removes a few strands when opting for an open hair look. It could look shabby if not done the right way, so throw in some loose waves or curls before wearing the hair band.
