Some fictional characters truly have wardrobes so iconic that they continue to inspire our style even years later. You may wish to command attention in every room like Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. Or maybe you're more of an Emily Cooper (Emily in Paris), juggling work and after-hours plans. Perhaps, Belly's (The Summer I Turned Pretty) effortless summer wardrobe is more in your lane. Whoever your main character energy is, here's how to channel their signature aesthetic—with a little help from Longchamp.

Blair Waldorf
If there’s one leading lady who deserves the title of fashion icon, it’s Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf. She was, after all, labeled an “evil dictator of taste” on the show. Whether she’s heading to brunch on the Upper East Side or attending an elegant soirée, every outfit is polished with statement proportions and elevated details—and of course, finished with a refined handbag. Longchamp’s Le Roseau captures that same Queen B energy. Compact yet sophisticated, it comes with adjustable and removable straps for versatility, along with three inner pockets and two credit card slots for convenience. Pair it with an elegant dress and sophisticated accessories to complete a look Blair herself would approve of.

Emily Cooper
No one embraces power dressing quite like Emily Cooper from Emily in Paris. Between client meetings, impromptu lunches and after-office events, her outfits always strike the perfect balance between polished and playful. For a modern career woman like her, it's important to look professional without ever feeling predictable. Stylish co-ords or button downs with simple jewellery, paired together with a roomy tote like the Le Smart will do just the trick. Spacious enough to carry a 13-inch laptop while maintaining versatility in a brown calfskin leather, it's a bag designed for the busy days.

Belly
If your wardrobe is more relaxed like The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Isabel Conklin, it’s fair to contemplate whether a luxury bag might be worth investing a hefty sum of money on. Rest assured, the Le Pliage Xtra—especially in a cheerful Lime shade—makes a convincing case. Smaller than the classic Le Pliage bag, it comes in a trendy east-west silhouette. Not to mention, it’s easy to style with just about anything from a summery dress for the beach to casual denim jeans and a comfy tank top for the mall.
