Gossip Girl Fashion New Year’s Special part 2: Leighton Meester’s worst looks of 2009

Hey people!

I hope y’all loved criticizing Blake’s looks! That sounds like a mean thing to say but whatevs. It’s Leighton’s turn. Let’s take a look at her biggest faux pas of the year.

1. Sneakers? Who are you, Kristin Stewart?

I hate equating you with a girl who wears Converse on the red carpet but I’m sorry L, you proved my “Leighton does no wrong style wise” statement wrong. Reeboks with Ungaro? And that weirdass jacket looks like it’s made of bad quality paper.

This was the first look of yours I seriously did a double take of. And I’m sorry about that.

AHHH it's the sneaker monster!

2. Lous Vuitton does not always equal to fail safe. Exhibit A.

JESUS CHRIST, it looks like some weird amalgamation of Joker meets Barbie. With a bit of sofa cushion tapestry thrown in. Like, hello? The shoes are gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, but the dress and the tights? Horror. Freak show. This looks like it was painted by a bunch of kids and their oil pants. With the lights out.

Heath Ledger called. He wants his Joker make up back.

3. Can we say transparent? This puts Audrina Patridge to shame. And that’s something.

You’re beautiful, L but this is just not right. You look like you’re a stripper from Scores with an unusually gorgeous face.

The shoes are super cute but looks ridiculous with this uber trampy dress. It kind of looks like bits of a profession swimmer’s bathing suit torn off and stitched with gross, sheery pieces of cloth.

But that’s not it. Wait for it…

Well, well, well. Would you look at that. Look who’s joined the pantless bandwagon.

Honey, Paris Hilton called, she wants her dress back.

4. Mumsy is not the way to make them boys swoon

We know you’re the kind of girl who could wear a sack and stop traffic but that’s just it. Even a sack whoops this “suburban mommy meets bag lady meets Nike saleswoman” dress’ ass squarely. It looks like someone ripped the top half of her ill fitted dress, added a sports bra, painted it to look like the dress and made her parade around in it devant the paparazzi.

So THAT'S why Nike hired her!

5. Ouch.

The header says it all. G.I. Joe much?

Ah. Ski pants with a silk top. That's how they dress for success, eh L?

6. Bathings suits in the day are gay

What what?

We understand that you're tired but I bet you could do more than pull on your bathing suit?

7. It’s Courtney Love! Oh shit, no, it’s Leighton the Popstar.

This is where her real downfall started style-wise.

What is WITH the hair and make-up? Shoes are fab but the dress redefines tacky.

8. White dress run over by the subway?

This one is definitely not puke inducing but not her best either. It looks like a $5879876896 stark white dress that was caught under the NY subway system. Several times. But plus points for keeping the make up straight.

But nothing is as bad as what she wore while performing:

9. Refrain from pairing lederhosen with velcro boob patches.

The heading says it all.

10. And lastly, black duct tape across your body is icky.

I don’t even know where to start.

I guess she just taped on some black duct tape over her shiny sweatshirt. Um. Ick.

——————-

So this was my Leighton version.

Which is your worst favorite? Do you have an outfit to nominate that I didn’t add?

Like I said for Blake, next year: out with the trashy, in with the classy!

I agree with all except 3 and 8.
In fact I thought they were some of her best fashion choices.
Especially 8.

I would have to say the worst is 4. What on earth was she thinking?!?!?!

OMG

I think os too ..

also number 7 is not that bad, if she just have had little less make up on it would have been great.

number 4 and 10 i have no words, i just want to die when i look at it..

noname

She was at a reebok/lady foot locker premiere thing so you can’t really say anything about the sneakers for picture number 1….

http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=1234 OliviaSzpirt

So right!
F

Agree!And I think it looks pretty cool.
Plus if you’ve seen Kristen Stewart (or whatever her name is) in twilight you understand why she wore converse at the premiere.

kathy

8 is really pretty. the first one is okay as well.

2,4,7,10…. no words for it. just…. no words.:)

(this and the blake article were really funny XD)
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=634 Pristine

You can say that Leighton dresses in a way that says “not in this generation” but i got to say i like the way she isn’t afraid to wear what she thinks best expresses herself.

She might not be fashionable, but i got to say, she’s got style – one i very much love by the way.

She experiments and lets herself have fun and that’s what i like best.
elise

I think in 8 she looks GORGEOUS but the rest are so disappointing. I used to love her fashion. she was daring, but always looked great. and now she is so trashy and her hair, makeup, etc are awful. its not the most important thing ever of course, but i still wish she’d dress better and stop being so trashy. (like those nasty photoshoots! eww L you are so much better than that!)

http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=50 Sharon Tang

Well… since this seems like an experiment of hers, let’s hope she reverts back soon.

elise

and I don’t think outfit 1 is that bad (she looks amazing makeup wise and like i said, the outfit isn’t that bad) especially considering she is at a reebok event, so duh she is wearing sneakers. she pulled it off very well and she is way too gorgeous to wear some of the stuff she does. i don’t have as much problems with the ugly stuff, but what really bothers me is when she dresses trashy. shes such a great person (it seems like) though!
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@Ruby- aahah yeah 4 was like, woah! And yes, 8 is definitely one of the better ones.
@noname- The clothes aren’t Reebok. There are plenty of ways of making sneakers look cute. Like with a fun tank and hot pants or something.
@Kathy- Thanks!
@Pristine- Um yeah, no. She went from classy to average to fluctuating to icky.
@Elise- She’s a celebrity. She’s paid to look good so yeah, it’s important. But I agree with you. It’s always sad when a well dressed person crosses over to the dark side. Total waste.
@Sharon Tang- Yep!
@Elise- Yeah! And about the Reebok thing, see my answer to noname.

XXX

I think that 1 and 8 are good
XXX

and 5 and 6 isnt that bad either
XXX

and the worst is 2 but if she had not wore that tights it would have been nice, the dress is not that bad
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=321 Sophia

I actually loved her at the Mtv movie awards & the KIIs awards(3 &8). She looked amazing at those events!

ruby

exactly what I thought.

Olivia

me too!

Kelly

1,2 and 8 werent that bad.
she had to wear the sneakers at1 because she was promoting them.
and if she had lost the pants/legging thing at1 she would look great.
and 8 wasnt that bad.
Jessica

i likes 1, 6 and 8, but that might just be me
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=1234 OliviaSzpirt

Oh. Jesus. Christ. What the heck.

Lets start with number one. Okay, the Reeboks pairing thing, not a good idea. But the rest is absolutely gorgeous! The jacket is modern, it’s leather. Everyone wears leather jackets. The dress is soooo pretty!

2nd. I can’t describe this dress. It’s too amazing.

Third. This is probably some of my favorite looks on Leighton, okay the ass is a miss. But the makeup matched the dress so well. She looks stunning.

Fourth. Ugly.

Fifth. Okay.

Sixth is cool! Really cool! Chanel meets Topshop. Simply amazing.

Seventh. Ugly.

Eight. Pretty and plane! I love this look! Her face frames the beautiful, and then she went for a nice nude dress. I can’t see how this is ugly in any way.

Ninth. Shoes: go to hell. But the rest is awesome and different. I LOVE it! And I want the shorts.

Last. Dress is poo, but her face is gorgeous as allways. Which is the best part.

If this is what you call awful, take a look at the ‘fake-mol-leopard-shoes-look’ – That’s freaking gross!

Most part of this clothes is absolutely gorgeous.

http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=321 Sophia

totally agree!

http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=1234 OliviaSzpirt

thank you

sprite

Once again, I really don’t see how half of these are as bad as you’re making them out to be.
1. She’s at a reebok premiere, so of course she’s gonna wear sneakers…
2. The makeup really isn’t that bad besides overusing the blush and the tights were the only problem.
8. How is 8 bad…?
D

1) I LOVE THIS LOOK!
the jacket takes the dreamy/girly side away from that dress with that shoes. looks amazing! make-up is nice, hair very chic, it fits.

3) that dress is pretty acept the ass part. i like it, especially with these shoes. her hair is kinda boring and BLONDE! :/ but okay. make-up is alright.

LOVE THIS LOOK TOO! that dress is amazing, its simple and plain but that “dust” on that dress makes it apear mysterious. her hair is very beautiful, somehow undone but very simple and cute. that makeup is stunning!!
Morgane

So, there, I disagree !
I think that the first outfit is okay, it’s cool sometimes to wear simple things, sneakers are nice, I would rather say that i don’t really like the idea that she put them on just because she was invited and it was a sneakers party…
2, i love all these things, but seperately. At least with different shoes, they look too “normal” for this outfit. Maybe she also should have had a lighter make up.
I also like number 8 even if i liked her better in her white Calvin Klein dress.
Otherwise I agree, too much make up, too much transparency, too much… Too much.
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=401 Widiia Anindyta

i think 3 and 5 is good for her
Ally

I think you are just on a trashing rant. I love your site but attacking their style is just a little crazy.

Bathing suits in the day are gay? Is being gay bad?
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@XXX- You think 6 is okay? Um, sorry, what? A bathing suit under a jacket for a fashion show? And yes, two wouldn’t have been as hideous if she would’ve taken off the gallon of make-up, fixed the hair and not worn the tights. But she didn’t do that, did she?
@Sophia- 8 isn’t that terrible. I said it there. But it’s not her best. It’s just a random plain white shift.
@Kelly- IF she did. But she didn’t. Geez.
@Jessica- How can you like 6? *confused* :S
@Olivia Szpirit- YES but the jacket is WRONG with that dress! I’m not saying it’s individually a bad piece! And yes, O, everyone does wear leather jackets. But not over a cocktail dress with sneakers.
2nd…are.you.kidding.me? With those insane leggings and makeup?
3rd…I never said she doesn’t look stunning. Her face is naturally gorgeous so thats not even an issue. And the makeup is done by the makeup person. The dress is just the pits.
6th…where, exactly is the Chanel? The blazer and shoes are the only redeeming qualities of this outfit. The shorts and bodycon velour thing she’s wearing underneath looks like she’s going to the Hamptons beach.
9th…LEDERHOSEN?
10th…WHOS TALKING ABOUT HER FACE? We all agree she’s stunning. This is about her CLOTHES. And apart from the 8th one, they’re all pretty messed up.

@sprite-
I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN FOR EVERYBODY: REEBOKS WITH A COCKTAIL DRESS DO NOT GO. YA HEAR? SHE COULD’VE WORN IT WITH HOT PANTS AND A SILK TANK OR ANYTHING MORE APPROPRIATE. THE STYLING IS WRONG. WE KNOW SHE HAD TO WEAR SNEAKERS BUT SHE DIDNT PAIR IT WELL.

Okay, now has everybody understood what I’m trying to say?!

@Morgane- your arguments were the most logical and rational. Thank you.

@Widiia Anindyta- Are you shitting me?

@Ally- Honey, they’re celebs. They’re f**king paid to look good. They have stylists, incredible access to all sorts of designer clothes, make up people, hair people so yes, they had better dress well. They signed up for this criticism.
And I did one on Blake as well. So yeah.
And HELLO GAY AS IN THE ADJECTIVE NOT THE NOUN! One of my best friends is gay. Are you being serious with me? Are you telling me it’s acceptable to wear a bathing suit under a blazer and go to NY fashion week?

N

First of all, gay isn’t an adjective. It’s the word for someone who is homosexual, not to describe an outfit you don’t like. I respect that you have your own opinions and I agree with mostly everything you say but you need to respect other people’s opinions as well. You cannot attack people for voicing their opinions. You gave your opinion, were giving ours. Please don’t act as if your opinion is the smartest out of all of ours and that anyone must be wrong if they disagree with you. And this isn’t the first time I have seen you act so arrogant on this website. I see it all the time, I don’t like it and I am sure there are others who agree with me. Thank you for posting interesting articles, I enjoy them a lot but stop making people feel as if they can’t express their own thoughts without feeling stupid.

N
A

i completely agree with N, stop being so aggressive and arrogant !!!

Kathrin

I think you’re pretty funny and I liked reading these fashion recaps.:)

As for Leighton:
1) Okay, I guess but yeah, it looks like she didn’t think this through.

2) HORRIBLE. She looks like a clown. What the hell, Leighton?

3) Not THAT bad, but not that good either.

4) That’s a really weird dress. That wouldn’t look good on anyone. So why did she pick it??

5) I…really don’t know about this one. I keep thinking the outfit looks nice…but it just doesn’t fit her AT ALL. Is it too big for her? Something’s wrong with it, but I don’t know what it is.

6) Er…no. Noone would look good in that. Maybe at the beach, but even there: lose the make-up.

7) I guess the dress is okay albeit a bit tacky…but WHAT’S with the MAKE-UP? She looks like a vampire. And not one of the pretty Twilight Vapires, one of the really ugly I am Legend Vampires.

Boring but nice.

9) EEEEEEEEW. That bra-over-shirt look always looks horrible.

10) Very tacky. And also, kind of conceals her great body. Make-Up is okay, thank God.

just one thing, i loved 7th one

@AlaraE- SAY WHAT?

Saraa

I think that number 1 looked really good, her make-up suited her and she had to wear th trainers because it was the Reebok premiere. Yes, she could have worn a tank top and hot pants but thats really not the kind of thing you should wear to a premiere. I think everything went together really well with number 1.
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@Saraa it’s a premiere for SNEAKERS! You’re not expected to wear couture! You’re expected to dress for the occasion and make use of your expensiveass stylist and just wear like, jeans or something.

Take a cue from Rachel Bilson.

I have to say, the dress with sneakers thing does not work in Leighton’s favor. Maybe Kristen Stewart is able to pull if off, but it’s not her. 2,3, and 4 are definitely bad. For 5, if she would’ve just worn something not so bulky like a tank over, and got rid of that big belt, then it might have looked a bit more okay.
Rachelle

number 6, “bathing suits in the day are gay”
i dont understand your choice of words, you are stating bathing suits in the day are cheerfull and happy? but then you go on to criticize it so im wondering about your choice of words, and possibly if you choose the word “gay” knowingly and used it as an offensive remark about homosexual people. this seems so, now im wondering what kind of sad fashion reporter/blogger you are, and that you are so small minded and uncultured that you must use offensive vocabulary to describe a rather unattractive, unappealing, distastfull, unsighlty, displeasent, outfit. those are just a few examples of other words you could have used. to further you career in fashion critque, maybe you should invest in a dictionary.
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@BlairChuck4ever
@Rachelle- I’m thinking you’re at least 50 years old because when I say “that’s gay”, I do not mean homosexual. I mean “lame”. Get with the program.
I am a gay rights activist in Delhi and was in all the gay pride parades and one of my best friends, as I stated above to another brainless person like you is gay. I am heavily involved with various facets of the fashion industry which has people of all sexual preferences. Before you attack me on my prejudices, get a life.
I don’t need to further my critique. I write for Vogue, Grazia, Elle, Haute Mimi, Ponytail, Glossy, Digital Temple, Liberating Style and the names of more publications than you’ve ever heard of . And I’m 15.

So before you piss me off and don’t blatantly ignore the aforementioned comments, go take a hike.

I don’t want to get mad and lash out, but gay rights are something very close to me and to see you criticizing me because of that is more than I can take.
nikki drew

i guess it’s just a little kinda pressured L, events everywhere, paparazzi everywhere, people over there and there, fans expecting a lot from her knowing shes the queen B, on her mind i guess, she has to look really classy but at the same time she must stand — out??? ITS JUST A RAMBLED FASHION she had dared to experiment. somehow it shows that having privilege, full dazzling wardrobes, sponsors,etc. having too owned such things made things over…………??for her in time she’ll learn,. like us, haha

……………..
Xo naomi oX

i actually liked 1 except the sneakers
3 except the ass part
and is 8 bad?!
and OMG what was she thinking in 2, 4, 5 and 9??
loved the hair in 3, 8 and 10
Abc

@Arushi

You’re 15?? And you already write for Vogue etc? Wow that’s impressive. But then shouldn’t you be at school instead of spending time writing for the media and calling people “brainless”?

Personally, I think you are lying when you said gay rights are something very close to you and to see Rachelle criticizing you because of that is more than you can take. Because if ‘gay’ is a topic in which you are sensitive, seeing as you are a ‘gay right activist’ and that one of your best friends is gay, you would not be using the word as a derogatory adjective and would think to use other words to describe whatever it was that you were describing, as suggested by Rachelle.
Abc

Oh and you would not be telling people to ‘get with the program’. So what if gay is now being used in modern times to describe something lame. If gay really is something close to you, you would be more prudent in your choosing of words.
Abc

Oh and

Abc again

whoops

Abc again

Oh and I don’t think you should be telling people to ‘get with the program’. So what if gay is now used in modern times to describe something lame. If gay is something close to you then next time you should be more prudent in your choosing of words as not to confuse other people (like, say, Rachelle).
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@Abc- I can link you to the Vogue blogs page: http://vogue.in/blog_detail.aspx?p_id=476&u_id=233
I am at school. And I get B’s or whatever. Instead of watching TRL with the rest of the kids, I write and interview and attend events.
And please, don’t give me that load of horse shit.
And I’m sorry but if I was putting my opinion out there and really did think that there was something wrong with homosexuals, why the heck would I trackback? I edit and proofread my work. I wouldn’t have put it up there if I didn’t have the substance to defend it.

Gay=homosexual. Gay=happy/overzealous
Seriously, man. Buy a dictionary and then try to put someone down.
BLAIR

not all of them are bad ! i love dress 8
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@BLAIR- 8 is decent
Laulitta

Please…

The only one really bad here is the 4th one…but is not her fault that the dress is bad(actually if the designer had thought it through he would have figured out that the part that looks like a sports bra should be in black and should look kind of sexy…not look like “mommy made it for me”!

Okay. the last is kinda weird but well again is a designer mistake… and the shoes…WOOW those shoes are U-G-L-Y…

Oh!
And I love the One that is kinda transparent… I actually have one similar but the ass part is more covered… (my ass is bigger then her’s(that’s why) x) )

The rest of it…
Well, she look good on most of them… and we think they’re ugly because we would never wear it but, lets face it…
That is what fashion is all about… You will never have the courage of wear the bikinis made by Fátima Lopes( A famous Portuguese designer, just check out her designs, mostly the bikinis, They are WOOOW!! But anyway they are pretty good. )

Well, talking about L again… the only things that are not right with some of the clothes are the shoes, and you have to really know what shoes you have to wear with what…

And that is my opinion.. =)

xoxo

L.
http://www.gossip-girl-episodes.com/?fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=7 Arushi

@Laulitta – First of all, thanks for the amicable reply. Secondly, come on she chose the dress didn’t she? Lots of designers make lots of crap stuff, so people should have their own taste, don’t you think?
And the ass part covered would make it perfect. It’s not about how small your ass is, it’s about elegance. This looks Paris Hilton-esque.
I don’t agree. I think a lot of us could wear most of this stuff (even if our faces aren’t perfection like hers), and we’d look just as silly as her.
BTW, my cousin has a bikini and a sombrero by Fatima Lopes So trust me, it’s not all celebrity culture.
And you’re right, accessorizing makes a big difference but some ensembles here, like 4,5,6,7,9,10 are icky enough even without the shoes.

Thanks for the comment!
