Leighton, Leighton, Leighton...how I covet your wardrobe! You look adorable in nearly everything! You know how to rock bright colors and soft hues...you choose killer accessories and show-stopping designer frocks. Your impeccable taste and risk-taking style have landed you as our most recent lady-love to watch for...and, most importantly, as today's Muse of the Moment! Now, let us take some time to dissect exactly WHY Miss Leighton Meester has been continually a-buzz on our stellar fashionista radar.
Looking at the above collage and moving clockwise; GILDED gorgeous accessories added the perfect touch to her Missoni ONE-ARMED frock of choice; perfect length...perfect fit...perfectly glam! Next up, we see she chose another amazing Missoni frock that plays nicely off her golden goddess tan!
Leighton makes a RAINBOW dress and studded flats look glam while also laid-back and casual chic. Ahhhh, next we see Miss Leighton is up-to-date on one of Spring/Summer's fave new trends: STARS!
Lastly, on the top row, she sparkled in a Yves Saint Laurent MUSTARD and FRINGED lady-like frock. Her under-stated accessories (small clutch, copper T-straps and delicate earrings) truly pull the look together, with impeccable elegance!
Right underneath that, we see Leighton has chosen a classic PENCIL SKIRT (one of R.D.'s Top TEN TIMELESS Wardrobe Essentials) with a RUFFLE-FRONT blouse and a BOLD COLORED PATENT LEATHER eye-catching red belt. Love...this...look! Next up, a precious black and white Jay Godfrey dress does then trick followed by a more casual ensemble by pairing a pastel Chloé blouse with 7 for All Mankind flared jeans. Pairing high and low...that's what we're all about here at R.D. too!
Yum, yum, yum...the next look is one of my faves! This MIRRORED Missoni skirt (see it on the Runway, HERE) made my jaw drop and paired with a tank, a BOLD orange clutch and killer heels...Miss Leighton makes my eyes sparkle! Only two more to go, stay with me!
Leighton looks absolutely ravishing in the cobalt blue Versace dress paired with a Felix Ray white patent bag and matching WHITE KICKS (she was even featured in THIS previous post)! Once again, she knows a go-to color of hers is 100% yellow and her STATEMENT MAKING YELLOW DRESS does the trick, once again!
Even though Leighton's fellow Gossip Girl, BLAKE LIVELY, turned our heads first as a Muse of the Moment...Leighton's supremely lady-like style and covetable wardrobe is something that sets the standards high for smart pairing and trend-setting style! This lady-love is one we can all learn from and emulate to create some supremely winning combinations! Cheers to you, the impeccable Miss Leighton Meester!
