Recently, something brought Gossip Girl to my mind earlier today, and naturally, I thought of Blair. Because this is fresh in my mind, I thought that I'd feature Leighton Meester for this girl crush.
If I'm being honest, a big part of this girl crush comes from her portrayal of Blair Waldorf. If I'm being honest a lot of my opinions about actors are shaped by the characters they play... But I digress. In reality, Leighton Meester seems nothing like her fictional alter ego.
Unlike Blair, Leighton seems far more laidback. She seems to take herself far less seriously. Not too mention she seems really grounded, which I love about her. There are some celebrities that I don't like, just because it feels like that know how famous they are and they expect to be treated differently because of it. Even if that's not the case, I get that vibe from them, and while she may play a very high-maintenance character, Leighton herself doesn't have that vibe at all.
I also think that Leighton is absolutely gorgeous. I'm kind of convinced that she can kind of just do anything, style-wise, and look fantastic. I mean look at this picture. It is absolute perfection. It's probably my all-time favorite picture of her. She looks stunning.
Also, did you know that she sings? Aside from her role in Country Strong, that is. I know her from her song with Cobra Starship "Good Girls Go Bad," but she actually prefers music that's more folk. Apparently she started working with a band called Check in the Dark after Country Strong, and went on a five day tour with them.
