OlderLeighton Meester is Blonde
Leighton Meester was a blonde during her pre-Gossip Girl days. And you can now check out her acting chops while sporting blonde hair in her new movie, Remember the Daze, which is in limited release now.
Jess Manafort, the writer/director/co-producer of Remember the Daze, has said, “We cast Leighton before Gossip Girl. She came in on the first day of casting, as one of eight girls, and when she walked in I was like ‘this girl’s going to be huge, I want this girl, I love this girl!’ I told everyone I found a movie star.”
Ms. Meester tells Elle Girl she loved experimenting with her hair color back in the day: “I dyed it every color. I dyed it fire engine red and that didn’t work out. It also had it black and red streaks.”
Also pictured here is Leighton’s costar Shahine Ezell, who’s also producing her new debut album.
FYI: To help clarify some rumors that broke earlier this week, costar Nan Zhang never left Gossip Girl because of Leighton. Nan exclusively told JustJared.com herself!
She said, “First, Leighton had absolutely nothing to do with my leave. Leighton, along with everybody else on the cast and set, have been nothing but wonderful to me throughout my involvement with the show. The writer’s strike left me no choice but to return to [school]. It was truly a difficult decision that I had no choice but to make in leaving the show. I am grateful for my opportunity, and I loved every second of participating in such a great experience. The entire cast and everyone tied to the show are simply incredible, amazing people who I am thankful to have worked with. I couldn’t have asked to work with a better or nicer or more fun group of people.”
And Nan isn’t even enrolled at Brown University. Creator Josh Schwartz didn’t even have his story straight when he spoke on the Gossip Girl panel at Paley Fest ‘08! Whoops!

she ‘ so cute. i think the brown suites her more though.
overrated ugly *****
Yecch! I can’t decide who is uglier: her or that schmuck on the right. Whazzzupppppp
OMG!!she’s way better as a brunette
She looks really different as a blonde. I like her better as a brunette. This blonde washes her out.
Her porcelain skin compliments her brown hair. She looks hot as a brunette. She looks trashy as a yellow blonde. If it was platinum, then that’d be a different story. Shed look hot as well.
either way she looks awesome. i just love her for her.
She’s hotter in blonde. In gossip girl she looks like a vampire, it’s horrible. I want a Leighton more blond !
SO much better as a brunette.
She was on the short lived Tarzan too, i think theblond hair makes her look plan and ugly,,,, keep the dye lie the Ryder for life.
Anywho i heard she’s a ***** so blonde or brown it’s said when a litle fan goes to someones head…….
she looks a bit like reese witherspoon with the blonde hair.
i like her better as a brunette (:
blech! not pretty as a blonde. not talented with any hair color!

LOVE HER!
I hate when people do their lips that way. Not cool.
I know she was blond!
She did an 2 episodes on House, for the third season.
Plays a teenager that feels attractive to House.
It’s hilarious hauahua
But she look WAY BETTER with the dark hair… it’s more glamorous to her character and for her to!
Blond girls need to be fierce and cause an impact I think… u have to know how to handle the blond hair like Blake Lively does.
In the case of Leighton… she looks a little vulgar (dunno if is the correct word) to me…
She looks a bit like Kate Winslet in that pic above, don’t you think so?
Anyway, I think the brunette hair looks so good on her. Or maybe we just got used to seeing her brunette all this time that’s why we prefer it? Whatever, she’s pretty both ways :)
anyone knows which school nanzhang goes to now?
Shahine is so cute! I’d love to see more of him on the big screen.
but why is her eyebrow brown? :l
but why is her eyebrows brown?
I honestly think she looks better as a brunnette, her hair is naturally bonde though. but i don’t think this picture is a good example of her being blonde..it’s not very pretty. look at her pictures when her blonde hair is down and fixed..it’s prettier that way!
i still can’t believe she’s naturally blonde though! lol
i disagree….my cousin has naturally light blonde hair with brown eyes and black eyebrows!
