Blair Waldorf, played by actress Leighton Meester, put headbands on the map when "Gossip Girl" premiered in 2007. Costume designer Eric Daman said he has steered clear of the hair accessory of late, but it'll be back for season 6. "I feel like the headband was such a thing for (Blair) when she was in high school," he said. "We wanted to segue out of it for a little bit. ... It was really kind of an evolution of who she was as a woman. There's a moment when she went to NYU and she took her headband off, and she's like, 'I can't wear these anymore. They're really keeping me down.' "
