Leighton Meester: From Blair to Brilliant

Blair Waldorf is the classical beauty looking stunning in Jennifer Behr headbands, making girls across the world pine for headwear.  In reality the Gossip Girl actress, Leighton Meester can pull off any look.  From casual chic to stunning fashionista Leighton is so often over looked in comparison to her counterpart Blake Lively.  She may have jumped up Glamour's best dresed list, moving up 32 places to the number 4 spot...beaten to number 3 by Blake herself.

It has to be said the Gossip Girl cast know fashion but they can't all pull it off this well.  Not only does Leighton dock the works of emerging designers, such as London's Emilio de la Morena, with the same bravado as if she was in Louis Vuitton (which some days she is) but she so easily pulls off Blair's upper class style one moment before chucking the headband, mussing the hair and emerging as a beautiful rock chic.  That's what's so refreshing about Leighton...her own style is not that of her character.

Glamour mag even compiled a list of  '15 Reasons To Love Leighton Meester' and they are all correct, I think you'll agree...
