Would You Wear a Suit and Tie Like Leighton Meester?

Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester continues to don get-ups that would leave Blair Waldorf bristling in her Brian Atwoods. Two weeks after donning a plunging, sheer Marchesa jumpsuit, the fearless stylista takes a page out of AnnaLynne McCord’s book, sporting a charcoal Thom Browne suit complete with flood trousers, white oxford shirt and matching neck tie to the Gotham Independent Film Awards in N.Y.C. on Monday night. Eschewing feminine details, Meester opted for simple on-trend wine-hued pumps, smoky lids and mussed up tresses to complete her look. Though the androgynous look may be a bold introduction to Browne’s foray into women’s clothes, we’re not sure how we feel about Leighton’s literal take on menswear.

Leighton Meester’s Lace Marchesa Jumpsuit: Love It or Hate It?

She may portray the uber-conservative Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, but in real life, Leighton Meester is all about edgy style. Whether she’s rocking a crocheted Marc Jacobs gown, a midriff-baring Versus dress or bright blue Proenza Schouler for J Brand scribble jeans, the style star is never one to shy from taking fashion risks. And last night proved no exception when she arrived at the Harry Winston Court of Jewels event in N.Y.C. in a super-sheer Marchesa lace jumpsuit. Complete with see-through harem pant legs, a low-cut back and visible lace hot pants, Leighton’s look was anything but reserved. With her messy pin-tucked bun, dark ruby lips and bold brows, there was no mistaking Leighton for a stuffy Upper East Side lady. Tell us: What do you think of Leighton’s look? Do you love it or hate it? – Justine Harman

Jessica Szohr is Willing to Suffer for a ‘Good Shoe’

John Lindquist for ASOS

Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen might get the most attention for their over-the-top style on the hit show Gossip Girl, but resident hipster Vanessa Abrams is no shrinking violet either when it comes to fashion. It turns out, however, that Jessica Szohr doesn’t share her character’s eclectic taste. “At heart I’m just a simple jeans and T-shirt kind of girl,” Jessica tells ASOS. “I used to not wear heels at all, but the last four years have changed that. I’m big on comfort now but I will sacrifice it once in a while for a good shoe.” And although her own style is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Vanessa’s love of color, pattern and over-the-top accessories, “since I’ve been playing her I’ve taken more risk in what I wear.” Jessica is even putting her own unique spin on fragrance. “I spray perfume on the back of my neck. I don’t know if it’s when you go in to hug someone but everyone always comments on it no matter what perfume I have on –- whether it’s my favorite Stella McCartney or a $3 bottle from the drug store.” Now there’s a high-low style tip that everyone can use! To read more of Jessica’s cover interview, go to ASOS.com and check out the behind-the-scenes from her shoot below. – Hana Choi

Get ‘Gossip Girl’ Party-Perfect Dresses — Designed by the Show’s Stylist For Under $50!

Kyle Dean Reinford

When Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman was approached to create a line for budget-friendly chain Charlotte Russe, deciding what he would design was a no-brainer. ”It just seems so apropos to what I do on the show,” he told PEOPLE of his collection of party dresses. “It’s like a ball or a gala every episode. I didn’t want to do separates. Serena van der Woodsen T-shirts? You can buy that. I wanted to do something special.” Even the Blair Waldorfs of the world will be tempted by Daman’s dresses, with prices starting at only $34.50. Expect lots of full skirts made for twirling with glittering accents galore. And while he loves designing high-fashion at low prices, he has to admit, dressing on an unlimited budget is a treat. But when it comes to picking his favorite characters to clothe, like any proud parent, it’s tough to choose. “It’s like your children. You can’t pick your favorite child. I love them all,” he says, before revealing his weakness for the show’s most dapper gentleman. “Chuck Bass has a very special place in my heart. It’s that Saville Row thing.” So, is a men’s line up next for the Upper East Side’s resident wardrobe specialist? “Yes, but I’m not allowed to talk about that yet,” he hints.
