The more I see of Leighton Meester on the red carpet, the more I like her. Sort of in the same way that I like Mariah Carey – I think she might be completely insane, and I respect that.
Leighton is younger, so her insanity is not as advanced or robust as MiMi’s, but give her some time, I don’t think she’ll disappoint us. She has already started to cultivate a bizarre little singing career/side project thingy, complete with a weird, kitschy video that didn’t appear to be kitschy in an ironic way.
She also wears many different, off-kilter things on the red carpet, which I absolutely love. She takes more chances than the average starlet on a teen drama would ever dream of, and it often pays off in spades.
I can’t say that I love this outfit or the Spring/Summer 2010Louis Vuitton Bags that she’s carrying with it, but I’d much rather look at her wearing something like this than at Reese Witherspoon wearing another safe, perfect cocktail dress.
