At the American Eagle Outfitters Times Square Flagship Store Grand Opening
We all love Leighton Meester. But what the hell happened to her!? Blair Waldrof is the epitome of classiness. Leighton, at one point of time, was too. Not, however, anymore.
Her dress is undeniably bad-ass – I love the leather mini with a slight peek-a-boo thing going on. And she couldn’t have chosen better shoes than a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood. But her face! It seems to me that she was going for a crying-all-night-covered-up-by-a-bad-vampire-esque-eyes look. It looks just awful. The hints of purple and gold – not helping. And the red lips do nothing to help this already horrendous look either – if anything, it makes it look worse. (Is it just me, or does she really look like a female version of the Joker from Batman? *shudder*) Her hair looks limp and unkept, and not in a sexy way.
This, lovelies, is what people in the fashion industry call an attempt at goth-chic that fell flat on it’s face. Look closely because it is a rare phenomenon and you may (hopefully) not see another one like this for the next 473290147023 years.
I’m pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that I hope that this is the last we see of this look from Leighton, yes?
Leave a comment and tell me what your take on this look is.

i think that he clothes are good but the make up is horrible. it’s like someone punched her in the eyes before she took thes picture. i think lose the black eye look and just rock her nice red lips both is just to much to handle. the only one who could rock this look is th e joker and look where that got him
TAYLOR ATTACK! The make-up: EW. Skanky.
The dress is the bomb. I quite like the shoes as well. Why would she do that to her beautiful face? And her hair I’ve given up on.

OMG,
I was really shock when I saw this picture, and I had to look twice. Well I can’t belive it! It looks very horrible…
Where is her nice red dress??
Well lets hope, that it is only a phase and that it will end soon.
her makeup and hair look like she didn’t have a stylist/makeup artist booked for the event and just gave herself the makeover.
my god, she is Blair not a twilight character. dress, eyes. horrid. only handbag and heels are acceptable.
I’m sure it won’t last long, maybe she just wanted a brake from her cute, Blair image?
Just because she is portraying a character on screen does not mean she is obligated to dress like them. Leighton is probably sick of being called “Blair,” but I don’t think that is why she chose this look, regardless.
I think it looks very very good. I just love all the clothes she wear…
I disagree. I think the smoky eyes and the red lips are very now. It gave her a vamp look with the leather mini dress. This a/w is all about leather and studs.
I think its great that Leighton broke out of her character as Blair. Just because u play a certain character doesn’t mean u have to adopt it to ur day to day basis as well. At the end of the day her real name is Leighton Meester not Blair Waldorf, and i’m sure she attended that event representing herself not Blair Waldorf.
First of all Blair and Leighton is two different persons and Leighton ddoes not need
to copy Blair since she is her own person. And second I never thougth i a million years that Leighton
would look this horrible. I like the outfit and dig the shoes, but girl what’s up with the creepy vampire make-up??
Leighton should be able to dress anyway she wants. Just because her makeup isn’t great
doesn’tgive you the right to talk badly about her. Evryone has the choice to dress how they
want, and not how their character dresses
i think, that there’s no point to whine about her make-up or clothes. it’s her style and she likes to experiment. i love people who experiment with their clothes(until they don’t wear running boots). and i think that style shouldn’t be criticized, only maybe by some huge, totally perfect fashionistas.
i think that leigthon can wear whatever she wants, and we shouldn’t criticize her make-up or clothes like this. i’m not sure that you dress perfectly. it’s awesome, when people experiment with their style. and i think that only people who are allowed to criticize sb’s style are some huge, totally perfect fashionistas. e.g. Wintour. so people, don’t whine so much. be bold and enjoy boldness.
I, for one, think she looks totally gorgeous. What’s so wrong with a little experimentation?
whats the deal with everyone saying she looks awful? shes fun and experimental with fashion and makeup i agree with all the people who said she looks ace
personally, i think she looks awful.
this is not because i cannot tell the difference between meester and blair, nor because i am a fashion clone who hates any form of creative experimentation. i just dont think she looks that good here; the pale foundation makes her look palid and the grey eye shadow ages her – the red lipstick just makes her look seem all the more bizarre.
this is my opinion, and i am entitled to it just as much as meester is allowed to dress whatever the hell way she wants. criticize the reasons for my opinion, but dont say that no one has the right to say she looks awful. freedom of expression goes with freedom of speech.
Amen.
Love the shoes, not so much the eye makeup.
holy crap she looks like she just got beaten up
stop trying to be little j B..doens’t work for u.
I agree, she really does look like a blood sucker. I love the “Blair” side of her better!
Smokey eyes and red lips are extremely in this year but that doesn’t mean smokey eyes and red lips suit everyone. If you can’t pull of a trend, then don’t.
And of course there is more to Leighton than Blair which is why I not once said “Blair has let us down” or “Blair would never dress like that”. But representing yourself doesn’t mean you have to go all out horrendous and in a direction completely opposite to that of your character on a show. Blake Lively isn’t just Serena is she? She dresses impeccably even out side the show. Does that mean she isn’t Blake?
I firmly believe that people should be able to dress the way they want as it reflects on your personality but wearing what you want doesn’t mean you can’t dress well too.
So you might want to think about that.
That was @ Ellie
at first, who are you to tell, she cant pull of a trend? i’m sure you can be very stylish and some fashionqueen,
but still you can’t judge her style. and what are you talking about that she has to be like blair. are you nuts?
it’s like when i played a tree in a show i have to be like tree in real life? maybe she’s just doing it for living?? haven’t you thought about that? uh, you’re so judgemental.

Now read what I wrote again, okay?
“And of course there is more to Leighton than Blair which is why I not once said “Blair has let us down” or “Blair would never dress like that”. But representing yourself doesn’t mean you have to go all out horrendous and in a direction completely opposite to that of your character on a show.”
What part of this sounds to you like “She has to be like Blair”?
And who am I to tell she can’t pull off a trend? I, honey, am a person with eyes. Who can see what a walking monstrosity she looks like.
And pray tell, if it were not meant to be judged, why would celebrities put in so much money, time and effort into their outfits for every red carpet event they attend? To show to their mommy how well they dressed up?
I think not.
i see that you think that all the clothes celebrities wear are meant to be talked about.
haven’t you thought that maybe they just want to look good for theirselves?
i personally wear beautiful clothes for me not for some wannabe fashion fixer.
ofcourse we live on a free land and everybody can say their opinion, but i think that
fashion is sth you don’t criticize so publicly and it’s sth you can express yourself by.
no offense ofcourse and i’m quite calm, so that you know

eughh look at her eyyess:///.
I love the dress, but the goth look is too Kristen Stewart, you know? oh well, the outfit is absolutely fine, but the make up needs work!!
Love the dress, shoes and accessories, but the eye make up is a little off. Bit too heavy.
Fair skinned girls can rarely pull off grey/black/silver smokey eye looks … it just doesn’t work for her.
The dress is hot! I love how she actually wore a tube top underneath; most celebrities wouldn’t, thinking they should show as much skin as possible! Great decision!…Her hair looks good, it suits the dress, it has a kinda messy but sexy look!…I think the red lipstick would have been fine if it was a shade darker! But I must agree that the eye make-up is terrible! Don’t know what she was thinking!…Her shoes are gorgeous! I so want them! Clutch is cute!…I think you’re a bit harsh on this though, it’s not as bad as you make it sound! I think the worst is really the eye make-up, the rest is not that bad! xoxo
I pretty much agree with Alexis but everyone has a little pinch of Blair in them.
im in love with those shoes!
I actually kind of like it- it’s just a shocker to see so much make-up on her, as she usually keeps it quite casual. The eyes are a tad bit too heavy, when paired with a red lip. I am not one for rules of make-up, but here’s one to stick to ; either the eyes or the lips ( unless you can pull it off) and what Leighton is wearing is nice attempt, but not very succesful. That dress on the other hand. I WANT IT SO BADLY. It looks really good on her! And those shoes *wishes she could walk in heels like that*
I for one, think she looks awful. Maybe if she styled her hair and toned down with the eye makeup, it would look right. She could use a lighter lipstick instead of bright red – it doesn’t go with her skin. But her dress and shoes are amazing. This is just my opinion. I also think she’s awesome for trying out a new look.
<<3 Leighton
hate the makeup. dress is alright. maybe the makeup is obscuring the whole feel of the dress.
whatever, sill love ‘er
Euw. Oh my god that’s just. eeev!
It looks like her 6-year old niece experimented with make-up on her. Not a fan of the dress, but pretty shoes.
Haha. I does look like that, doesn’t it?
gahhhhhhh!
LEIGHTON, jesus woman. that was a bit scary.
but she im sure she sees what she did wrong, hopefully.
or pray to god she sees this blog and gets the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.
we love you leighton, you’re a great actress & we all loved ‘good girls go bad’-
we still support you, hope you don’t go back to this dark time
