Leighton Meester's Hair
From glamorous red carpet up-dos to cute braids and ponytails on Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester works a million hairstyles as her character as Blair Waldorf - and in real life too! Here are our favourite Leighton Meester hairstyles.
PA PhotosWow! Leighton Meester looks stunning with her new super-chic blunt-cut bob swept straight back with volume at the roots. That glossy red lip is picture-perfect, too.
Rex FeaturesOn the set of Gossip Girl, Leighton looks princess perfect with a voluminous up-do, accessorised with a sparkling headband. We love her rosy cheek colour and peony lips.
Rex FeaturesLeighton scores yet another hair hit in 2012 with long flowing brunette waves. Keeping her make-up minimal, she defines her eyes with liner and adds a slick of nude gloss to her lips.
Rex FeaturesProving why she's our beauty icon, Leighton looks picture perfect with her hair swept back and a few strands loose, with a glossy pink pout and subtle smoky eye make-up.
Rex FeaturesLeighton looks glossy and glam with a peek-a-boo fringe and mid-length curls.

PA PhotosLeighton shows us just why the dip-dye trend is so popular with her stunning long glossy locks.
PA PhotosThe soft fashionista. Working a leather, embellished Chanel dress at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, but softening the look with sweet and innocent hair. We love Leigh in this wavy, half up-do.
Rex FeaturesOne of the hottest trends in celebsville right now, two-tone hair has been seen on Drew Barrymore and Jessica Alba and now Leighton Meester – we love it!
Rex FeaturesA lovely half-up hairstyle with a little 70s edge thanks to the big curls and the end and the huge sunnies.
PA PhotosRich, chestnut brown can be a tricky hue to do because it can add years, but Leighton’s locks look radiant and the colour totally brings out her dark brown eyes. No wonder Herbal Essences snapped her up as their Ambassador.
PA PhotosIs this Leighton’s hair homage to Princess Leia and other sci-fi female characters? In 2209 at the premier of Star Trek Leighton wore her hair in a tousled plaited up-do and gorgeous natural make-up.
PA PhotosOn the set of Gossip Girl Leighton works a beautiful groomed side plait. The secret to her sleek plait is straighteners then lots of serum.
PA PhotosOoh la la! This is one ‘do that must have taken ages to do but so worth the effort because it is gorgeous! We’ve never seen Leighton do such a retro hairstyle and we love it!
PA PhotosThe rough, scrapped up up-do shouldn’t look this good, but on Leighton it so does! Her secret is down to the make-up, which is dewy, flawless and fresh.
PA PhotosThe red carpet is calling! Leighton shows she can work an A-list up-do like a pro at the Primetime Emmy Awards in LA, with a very of-the-moment plaited up-do.
PA PhotosDon’t mess with Leighton! The soft waves, glossed-up with a shine-enhancing wax (we reckon), distract from the hard stare at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.
PA PhotosHair envy alert! Or rather, hair accessory envy alert! We are totally in love with this beautifully ornate gold and jewelled tiara that Leighton wore in the 'Valley Girls' episode of Gossip Girl.
PA PhotosHow cute! In Gossip Girl mode Leighton wears a green mac and gold blouse – what would you do with your hair in that outfit? Why, a gold, braided hairband, of course – perfect!
PA PhotosSuper-cute and fresh-faced. Leighton avoids a bad hair day with twisted braids on either side and the ends pinned up at the back.
PA PhotosOoh, super-sexy! This is how you do a dishevelled up-do: lots of teased texture, a little volume around the crown and a few face-framing tendrils. Plus, we love the smoky eye make-up and nude lips – perfect! .
PA PhotosHow come we can never grow our locks to this Rapunzel length? Leighton is clearly showing off here, and we’re jealous!
Rex FeaturesWorking an ultra-dark, rich chocolate hue, Leighton goes for an almost glam-goth look with A-list gloss – we love.
Rex FeaturesOMG! Where’s Leighton? Oh, that IS Leighton. In separate components the hair is great: lovely fringe, amazing bun, gorgeous colour, but all together...hmm, we’re not so sure.
PA PhotosAt the Teen Choice Awards in California, Leighton shows us that she’s not a teenager anymore with this very grown-up up-do. Her hair has been sectioned and curled and then pinned up for a hint of retro glamour.
PA PhotosYou know, Leighton has gorgeous hair but it’s not uber-thick. However, a volumised centre parting and tonged waves from the mid-lengths down et voilà, a thick, glossy mane is hers!
PA PhotosWhoa! Leighton Meester the vixen! We love Leighton’s messy up-do but what really maxes-up the sex appeal is the fabulous smudged, winged eye shadow, rosy cheeks and rosebud lips. .
PA PhotosColour clash a-go-go! This is how you turn boho waves into a party hairstyle – go crazy with the make-up. We love the contrasting purple eye shadow with the gold liner but we’re not so sure about teaming the eye make-up with matte red lips... .
PA PhotosLeighton Meester is clearly the queen of being able to get away with tricky hairstyles. Shoulder length hair often looks so-so but with shine, condition and light waves at the ends, Leighton makes this odd length super-chic.
PA PhotosNo, it’s not an up-do, but a high ponytail with the length straightened and the rest of the hair lightly teased to offer a little street contrast. Very cool, Leighton, very cool. And check out the pink eye shadow, such a great shade to bring out brown eyes.
PA PhotosAw, cheer up Leigh! Looking a little sad at the Costume Institute Gala 2009 in New York, we hope she’s not unhappy about her hair because we love the bubble curls and glossy golden brown hue.
PA PhotosWhen Leighton first burst onto our screens as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl she was blonde and always wore her hair straightened. Oh, how things changed...
