Leighton Meester Talks Fashion and Life After Gossip Girl (She Wants to Garden) at Roger Vivier’s Cocktail Party

Last night storied French footwear label Roger Vivier threw a cocktail party at their Upper East side store to celebrate their fall winter “Uptown-Downtown” collection as well as limited edition collection “Rendez-Vous.” Creative director Bruno Frisoni’s creations for the brand–particularly the “Rendez-Vous” collection which he described as “Rock! Think Keith Richards”–nearly outshone all the fashion starlets who turned out to sip champagne and shoe-drool. Leighton Meester was there, and so were industry darlings Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Marie Amelie Sauve, Hamish Bowles, Hanne Gabe Odiele, Emily Weiss and Leandra Medine. Plus Alexandra Richards was DJing. Needless to say, it was a very chic event.

We caught Meester, who looked lovely in sequined J.Mendel, Vivier accessories and Bulgari jewels, staring distractedly at some studded Vivier boots so we seized the moment to check in with the Gossip Girl star.

Best Dressed: Victoria Beckham in Her Own Line, Hailee Steinfeld in Carven, Kate Moss and More

By Alaina Hernandez Friday, Sep 23, 2011 / 5:33 PM

It’s a super-sized best dressed list this week, and the glam quotient was high. Zoe Saldana was pretty in hot pink and floral Giambattista Valli, Victoria Beckham was the perfect walking advertisement for her own line, and Hailee Steinfeld is absolutely charming in Carven. Michelle Monaghan, Leighton Meester, and Kate Bosworth all radiated ladylike perfection in Valentino, Marios Schwab, and Peter Pilotto, respectively. Read more »

Fashionista’s FNO Guide #1: Where to Find the Celebrities

We can’t believe Fashion’s Night Out (and, thus, fashion week) is only a week away. As anyone who has ever been to a Fashion’s Night Out is probably aware, they pack enough events to fill an entire week into just a few hours, so pre-FNO planning is key. While Vogue‘s interactive map is quite handy, that is still a lot of stores to go through. So, we’re preparing a few of our own Fashion’s Night Out guides.

This one is for those of you who just want to see some famous people. We don’t blame you! Fashion’s Night Out offers rare opportunities to get up close and personal with real Hollywood stars. Maybe Tilda Swinton and Ne-Yo will become friends or Daniel Radcliffe will get wasted or Alexa Chung will debut a new haircut or Seth Meyers will screw up your drink or the Real Housewives of New York will be insane (that last one is the most likely)! Here’s our guide to where all your favorite celebs will be.

Check Out Leighton Meester Channeling Pretty Woman For Vera Wang’s New Fragrance

Leighton Meester looks great in print ads. She surprised everyone with her playful Missoni ads, and she’s now the face of Vera Wang‘s new fragrance, Lovestruck.

Shot by Carter Smith on a fire escape and wearing a maroon Vera Wang gown with loose hair, Leighton looks fresh and gorgeous. She’s also channeling some Pretty Woman, though her prince is a bit rougher around the edges than Richard Gere.

Golden Globes 2011: We Actually Liked a Lot of the Dresses

Carey Mulligan has changed red carpet fashion.

I say this on the day after the Golden Globes not because she wowed me last night–she wasn’t even there. It’s because ever since Mulligan wore that Prada dress to last year’s Oscars, the red carpet has gotten a bit more interesting.

Of course there were risk takers before she the pulled it off: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, and Sofia Coppola have looked pulled together and cool over the past decade. But here’s why Carey’s different: She’s not cool. She’s pretty and smart and admirable, but she’s not particularly slick or hip. She’s made not wearing a nude, sparkly dress okay for non-hipsters. She’s even made it necessary.

Last night, there were more than ten dresses which I thought, even if they weren’t perfect, were good. And interesting. Usually, I’d say the number is more like three.

Best Dressed: Golden Globes Edition!

By Elizabeth Jaime Monday, Jan 17, 2011 / 9:59 AM


Pastels and nudes seem to have been the palette of choice at this years’ Golden Globe Awards. Emma Stone looked perfect in her peach-colored Calvin Klein dress and Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, while Helena Bonham Carter looked crazy-good in Vivienne Westwood and different colored heels. A very pregnant Natalie Portman looked very stunning in a pink Victor & Rolf strapless gown and Leighton Meester, like always, looked amazing in a long-sleeve Burberry dress. Claire Danes also chose to wear Calvin Klein and Anne Hathaway looked beautiful in an Armani Prive gown.

Behold: Leighton Meester for Missoni

Missoni has released their spring campaign on Vogue Italia‘s website, including the all important image of Leighton Meester. Meester’s not the solo star of the campaign, which features a large group of creative types and acquaintances of the Missoni family. Socialites, artists, and royalty, including Eugenie Niarchos, Lissy von Thurn und Taxis, Tatiana Santo Domingo and Jaquetta Wheeler all make cameos in Missoni’s spring campaign, which Angela Missoni said was inspired by the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

While Meester‘s Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel campaign is likely to make more of a splash, Meester looks perfectly adorable in Missoni.

Click through to check out the rest of Missoni’s charmingly busy, quirky and cluttered spring campaign. How refreshing to see a campaign where everyone looks like they’re having a blast. All images by Juergen Teller.

It’s been a very fashionable 2010, so to celebrate, we’ve decided to compile our first-ever list of the year’s best dressed. Professionally styled or not (most are not), these men and women have consistently gotten it right this year, or at the very least, impressed us with their individuality.

For each actor, musician, model or industry person on our list, we’ve selected five of his or her best looks from the past 12 months, so hopefully this list is also full of inspiration. In alphabetical order, we present to you our top 30 best dressed of the year.
