OK, Gossip Girl fans . . . here it is! Since announcing on Twitter the other day that I was meeting the Queen B herself, Miss Leighton Meester, I've been bombarded with questions about her clothes, demeanor, and hair. Well, I'm here to report that Leighton is every bit as down-to-earth as her character is snooty! I had an absolute blast chatting with her as well as Herbal Essences' celebrity stylist (and Leighton's good buddy) Charles Baker Strahan. When I pulled out my iPhone to activate the voice memo setting, Leighton squealed, "Oh! I have, like, 6,000 of those little voice memos on my phone I use it constantly!" before curling up under a blanket on the couch like a regular girl chilling at home. Ladies, trust me, she's supercool and super-nice.

With a nude-and-white dress fresh off the spring/summer 2011 runway, Leighton Meester kept it simple and chic while walking the red carpet this past week.

While most people start covering up for the chilly days ahead, Leighton Meester and Kelly Osbourne are taking this last chance at summer weather to bare some skin! Leighton kept it strictly rock n' roll at the Proenza Schouler fashion show by pairing a sexy mid-drift knit top with a boldly tiered mini-skirt. Her red lipstick and bag add the perfect vin feel to this super fresh ensemble. On the other side of town, Kelly unleashed her inner-princess in a frilly lace ensemble straight off the Betsey Johnson runway. The surprise band of skin in the middle adds some edge to this super-girly frock, while Kelly's signature swept-back hair, clear shoes and visible tattoos keep the look distinctly hers. But now it's up to you to decide! Which one of these alluring ladies wore the mid-drift look better? Let us know in the comments below!
