Leighton Meester matches her sunglasses to her Loewe bag

I love Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester for a lot of reasons, and one of the biggest ones is because she takes so many risks with her personal wardrobe. It has always seemed to me that part of her motivation for her aesthetic must be in an effort to distance herself from her on-screen persona, and I think she does a great job of reminding us that Blair is a character and she is the real girl.

I’m not a huge fan of the Loewe Amazona Bag in general, but this version has totally won me over with its neon orange handles. The color makes all the difference for a bag that usually has such a staid and neutral look, and her choice to match it to her bright orange Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses is absolutely perfect. Her blue-grey 3.1 Phillip Lim Fringe Shorts with grey Balenciaga heels and a loose tank create the perfect background for such an unexpected pop of color. What a totally modern street style look.

    I think that she is distancing herself from her character too far. She has more misses than hits on the red carpet and often comes off as trying too hard.
    A reputable stylist would help her find her style. To be honest “anti-Blair” is not a style.

    This is a good look for her! Unfortunately, these come rare for the reason mochababe73 stated above. I don’t think she needs to be anti-Blair, which is what it seems like she’s doing, she just needs to be herself (which hopefully isn’t anti-Blair because that is NOT a good look from what we’ve been seeing).
