Am I alone in thinking that those orange shorts are horrendous-looking and do nothing for her legs?

    She looks a little bloated here, especially in her face.

    :0)

  2. Jess | 8/07/08

    pretty girl. Horrible pictures. bdjkbdjfjefjhffdv

    what am I doing with my life dude…

  3. elizabeth | 8/07/08

    maybe cankles are contagious and she caught them from michelle trachtenberg

  4. Em | 8/07/08

    I think it’s also the ugly shoes.

  5. caroline | 8/07/08

    Yikes! and those shoes with her cankles! her face does look bloated too, so maybe she has just gained some overall weight. Stop yourself, Leighton, before it gets worse!

  6. vkat | 8/07/08

    That purse is adorable. Her legs are boring-looking.

  7. leanna | 8/07/08

    Oh god the whole outfit is a nightmare.
    the girl is far too beatiful to be wearing something that fearsomely unattractive.
    Seriously… put her back in some decent clothing and she’ll got back from a 5 to a 9. (not size-wise, scaleheads, I’m talking 1-10)

  8. Bee | 8/07/08

    I like the shoes. Probably because they remind me of deck shoes (I’m a sailor).

  9. secrethoughts | 8/07/08

    Whoever dressed her in that ensemble played a nasty trick on her because it’s hideous! Any one of these clothing elements might be fine in a different, seperate outfit, but together, they are a disaster.

  10. jenni | 8/07/08

    i like her a lot, but her outfit is pretty horrendous…too clown-like.

  11. Aly | 8/07/08

    Everyone has cankles in flats except those who have the smallest, finest bones in the world.

  12. simplydebi | 8/07/08

    Maybe she’s going through PMS bloat…didn’t we just see pictures of her looking great? Just a week ago maybe? I don’t think weight shifts that fast.

  13. Ash | 8/07/08

    She doesn’t have cankles. She just has large ankles. If you notice, they aren’t the same size all the way up. Anyway, if she could fix the ankles, she’d be perfectly fine.

  14. StarSpy | 8/07/08

    Her legs do look a little cankle-y

    Rian u have 2 do a Jessica Simpson post..she went out with Tony Romo for her birthday in a super tight purple embrodied dress and cowboy boots…she looks like she has put on some lbs

  15. Mel | 8/07/08

    Ewww cankles much?? She is a very cute girl, but she needs to work out her legs or cover them up with pants.

  16. Steff | 8/07/08

    You should see the back of those shorts…

  17. Mel | 8/07/08

    I also forgot to mention that outfit looks like something my grandma would wear. WTF was wardrobe thinking!? I don’t care how much it was, or what label it is, it looks ridiculous!

  18. Jess M. | 8/07/08

    I think she’s REALLY pretty despite the ‘bloated’ look in the first two pics. ANd those outfits weren’t her choice anyway. Blame the producer.

  19. emily | 8/07/08

    they make her look bow legged and like she has cankles.

    pretty face though.

  20. Jess | 8/07/08

    Hey Jess M., I’m actually a Jess M. as well! Glad I didn’t pick that as my name haha

  21. alexis | 8/07/08

    I have the same problem. I go to the gym daily for cardio and weight-lift every other and yet you can’t deny the cankle. I, too, have midge feet which further makes the cankle a monstrosity. Those itty bitty flats aren’t helping at all.

  22. Lis | 8/07/08

    Yeah, she seems to suffer from the “straight leg”, which means no curves at the knee or ankles. If she wore a higher heel it would pop her calf muscles and give her a little more definition.

  23. katya | 8/07/08

    her legs look a little chub

  24. LC | 8/07/08

    High waisted shorts with flat shoes can make anyone look squatty.

  25. Jodi | 8/07/08

    Her legs look no better than Jennifer Love Hewitt’s. So, why is no one vomiting in comments? (I mean, usually people are quick to say “mean” things about JLH. Just not in the last post, where so many jumped to her defense in response to a nebulous “Oh dear” remark posted by our hostess.)

  26. Jodi | 8/07/08

    P.S. Why are those kinds of shoes even *made*?

  27. b.SL | 8/07/08

    Heehee Elizabeth.
    I think the shoes are probably the most offensive to her legs, but the shorts are bad, too. Actually, since we JUST saw her a few days ago & she looked really hot in the shorts and tank, I’d say the whole outfit’s bad for her entire body. It added 10 phantom lbs!
    However- the purse is really cute.

  28. Teed | 8/07/08

    Ick those shorts are HORRIBLE! and yeah, they do nothing for her legs. And those shoes!!!! Don’t people think before they dress? I get the feeling sometimes that celebrities are so full of themselves that they think they can wear anything and look hot.

  29. forblueskies89 | 8/07/08

    This girl is gorgeous, and her figure is to die for. But yeah this outfit is making her look like she’s got sausage legs, which she doesn’t.

    I think it’s the shoes more than the shorts…

  30. prue | 8/07/08

    Her legs are awful!She need to get toned that area

  31. breads | 8/07/08

    if skinny leighton can be described as having cankles, i hope you guys realise the effect of camera’s and the wrong angles

  32. Lindah | 8/07/08

    I WANT THAT BAG!

  33. Jodi | 8/07/08

    Is no one seeing the enormous chin, washed-out face, and all-around not-pretty-at-all-ness here? WTF?

  34. AnnieJ | 8/07/08

    Unfortunate legs and the rest doesn’t impress me.

  35. zoey | 8/07/08

    It’s the shoes; I think my grandmother had a pair of them.

  36. thalia | 8/07/08

    I made shorts like that for myself in grade 7, which was a loooooooong time ago. They were ugly back then, too.
    Change the shoes, and she looks ready to tap dance in some 50’s movie.

  37. pooky | 8/07/08

    i think she looks good. it’s an ok outfit (very blair) and her legs look good except for the ankles. i dunno……..maybe she should wear heels

  38. Nani | 8/07/08

    we just saw pictures of her looking teeny! my what a bad outfit can do…

  39. ERica | 8/07/08

    horrible outfit

  40. elyse | 8/07/08

    cankles! she looks pretty good otherwise and i was sort of shocked by how bad they are. jeez.

  41. Duvessa | 8/07/08

    This person is not big because she is young & probably doesn’t eat a whole lot. She is totally lacking in fitness & time will not be kind if she doesn’t change that.

  42. elle | 8/07/08

    cute shorts.
    BAD SHOES
    pretty face
    Yucky highlights
    CANKLESSS!

  43. Spectra | 8/07/08

    Not a fan of the shoes with her legs…I’m guessing those shoes are made by the same types of people who make Crocs: people who have no regard for making shoes that look decent. I’m sure they’re in cahoots with the people who make high waisted elastic waist jeans and holiday sweaters as well.

    Incidentally, those skorts are horrific. Like something she grabbed out of the $1/lb bin at St. Vincent’s.

  44. converse | 8/07/08

    Man, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I think this girl looks at least 85% better than Jennifer Love Hewitt in that last post, and yet everyone seems critical of this girl and defensive of JLH. I really don’t get it. Yes, this isn’t the best outfit ever, but she looks far better in it than JLH did in hers, in my opinion. I’m seriously baffled.

    She definitely isn’t heavy, and looks healthy and fit. Her legs are obviously long and slim, even in these unflattering shorts/shoes. Cute flip-flops or sandals would have looked a lot better. I definitely don’t get the black loafers with that bright summery outfit.

  45. 2Di4 | 8/07/08

    good lawd! is the stylist on that show trying to punish her? she looks like a ritz cracker box.
    makes me think of sjp on ’sex & the city’ — so ridiculous that women actually took it seriously and start emulating it. (giant ugly flowers, anyone??) patricia fields laughed all the way to the bank thanks to that long-running prank!

  46. jenn | 8/07/08

    I’m convinced she is either bulimic or just ate something with a lot of salt…she looks really bloated. Pretty girl, bad photos.

  47. Hillary | 8/07/08

    i lie her outfit but i dont lke those shorts. she looks like a grumpy person, but she has a cute body, cankles or not

  48. Frankie | 8/07/08

    jodi, ‘vommiting’ in comments!! LMAOOOO
    her legs are good and slim and the cankles thing are not considered (chubbiness) it’s just the way she’s built..

  49. Ashly | 8/07/08

    I think she is very pretty. Yeah her ankles aren’t prefect but it doesn’t change how pretty she is. Her outfit sucks though.

  50. Hmmm | 8/07/08

    Gorgeous girl, but the outfit is atrocious. It looks like something a clown would wear.

  51. Jodi | 8/07/08

    Man oh man oh man, do I miss poops. I’m sure he/she/it would have something wickedly delicious to say about this one.

  52. NIP TUCK | 8/07/08

    I think that if she does not hit he gym soon, we will have another Mischa Barton on our hands….

  53. Mrs. Doubtfire | 8/07/08

    Elizabeth your killen me contageous cankles. .. too funny. And I heartily agree. . . what in the world happened to this girl. . .her legs look like they belong to a 50 year old women with lymphedema. . . shapeless horrid. .. and i am a fan of hers.

  54. Mrs. Doubtfire | 8/07/08

    Elizabeth your killen me contageous cankles. .. too funny. And I heartily agree. . . what in the world happened to this girl. . .her legs look like they belong to a 50 year old women with lymphedema. . . shapeless horrid. .. and i am a fan of hers.

  55. mazarella | 8/07/08

    duude, she has the same, body as jennifer love-hewit in her last post, where’s the “oh god”????

    don’t get this girl’s hype. jlh has a 1000x prettier face aswell.

  56. kkk | 8/07/08

    all the spring clothing for gossip girl looks UGLY compared to the winter stuff they had in the beginning of the series

  57. kate | 8/07/08

    yikes, those are some bad shorts.

  58. Jodi | 8/07/08

    Seriously. Someone please explain to me why this girl is considered even remotely attractive.

  59. Alabe | 8/07/08

    CANKLES!

  60. Elaine | 8/07/08

    ten years she will be fat and frumpy, you can tell by looking at her now.

  61. Elaine | 8/07/08

    I don’t think she’s attractive at all. She’s leading towards chubby going on fat. Her face is too round for her to stay thin for long.

  62. coke zero | 8/07/08

    i agree with the bloated comments 1st thing i thought. also with the mischa barton comment.
    poor thing
    awful legs CANKLES again with a cankle you need to lose weight and certainly wear a shoe with some lift!!
    really they need to make a plastic surgery for this dreadful condition of ugly legs (cankles)

    Sorry i’m just all worked up after seeing old prom pics of myself and my own cankles quite upsetting for me 5′8 being 135 EWW a reduction of at least 20 pounds helped out the look
    i look best around 100 pounds for my legs
    unfortanately thats quite hard for me to keep at so im 107ish which still is quite hard for me :(
    Cankles suck big time!!! They are aweful and force people to eat minimally
    and run many miles weekly which im still undetermined on if that makes the situaion worse bulking the calf
    and still with all the work they will never look ‘good’ only tolerable
    people whp dont have cankles consider yourself blessed
    they are an awful curse UGGGGGGGGGGG

  63. lauren s | 8/07/08

    are u kidding me? she has an amazing body and even though the outfits not cute, she pulls it off.

  64. Zuwee | 8/07/08

    Ew! Pretty girl ugly clothes and legs…

  65. Maxx05 | 8/07/08

    Hate to admit this since you all seem to hate them, but I’m loving those shoes, they look like a Sperry top sider style. The rest of the outfit should be put into a trash can and burned. Poor Leighton must have done something serious to have pi$$ed off the wardrobe dept. so badly. She does look strangely bloated, but maybe she had a reaction to something and it’s “that time” of the month for her, who knows. I don’t think people can just gain and lose weight that quickly. She is a pretty girl, and she’s very fun to watch on the show. I can hardly wait untill it comes back in the fall!

  66. BabyDoll | 8/07/08

    the whole outfit is WTF, but she is so gorgeous she can get away with it

  67. stephanie | 8/07/08

    shes gorgeous, but really not looking the usual glamorous blair, the outfit is a disaster even ehr hair looks terrible
    fire the stylist

  68. lambman | 8/07/08

    these are the worst pics I’ve ever seen of her. maybe she’s gained, maybe its her time of the month and definetly the horrible outfit and shoes come in to play but she normally looks so much cuter

  69. size--0 | 9/07/08

    they look like tod’s i love it!

  70. saintdevil | 9/07/08

    If she didn’t hold her head up she’d have two chins.

    And I don’t care if the shoes are Tods or Prada or Manolo Blanik: They just emphasize her shapeless legs.

  71. D | 9/07/08

    She is so gorgeous and tiny, but these pictures and the outfit do her no justice.

  72. Raven | 9/07/08

    Seriously, I don’t think flats should ever be worn unless you have PERFECT bone structure, ie. not bow-legged, have slim ankles, and long, toned legs. This kind of perfection is only boasted by Gisele, my dears.

    Anw, I think Leighton didn’t apply enough makeup, which is why she looks so washed out and PLAIN. That grumpy look doesn’t fight for her case either.

  73. Coco | 9/07/08

    Not the greatest look. The length of her skirt and flats are not flattering to her legs and thighs. In the first picture, she seems to have gained a tiny bit in her face.
    Still like her though - great clear, glowing skin

  74. skinnymimi | 9/07/08

    That outfit is WRONG

  75. blabla | 9/07/08

    she looks bigger than usual, but i’ll blame it on the pants.

  76. nhana | 9/07/08

    Could somebody tell me what cankles is??

  77. RONI | 9/07/08

    u stupid if u think that her legs ugly!!

    she just a normel…

  78. Lazara | 9/07/08

    She looks good here in the last pic, not in the others.

  79. Alicia | 9/07/08

    She looks fine weight wise but style wise OH MY GOD!

  80. Jean Genie | 9/07/08

    This weak chinned assault on the eyes looks like she has given up on life, at last.

  81. Jean Genie | 9/07/08

    Those fucking shoes, it is bad enough someone ‘designed’ them, worst still that someone wore them.

  82. Persephone | 9/07/08

    she stole those shoes from my mom. she wants them back, her feet hurt and her other ones are making her bunion act up.

  83. RONI | 9/07/08

    cankles is = thick ankle that looks like it is a continuation of the calf, chubby ankle

  84. Jodi | 9/07/08

    Jean Genie, I was pondering her chin for a moment earlier and was astounded as its weakness. She has that unfortunate sort of chin/neck combination where it looks like the chin is melting directly into the neck without stopping to curve enough to discern between the two.

    If she needs makeup to make her look attractive, she’s not all that pretty. I do not see the appeal of this one at all. I see regular girls on the street every day whose looks and figures far surpass hers.

  85. Jodi | 9/07/08

    Gah! I mean “at its weakness”, not “as”. :-S

  86. rika | 9/07/08

    i am so confused right now. last week her body looked seriously perfect, it looks like shes gained a good 10 lbs since then. not fat but she was so thin in those pics…….maybe its just the outfit. but i do love her!

  87. candy | 9/07/08

    no its the shoes. hideous lofers

  88. JOY | 9/07/08

    i dislike her clothes very unflattering, i m surprised at the view of her legs. !!!

  89. Angel | 9/07/08

    Oh my ! Geez that out fit and shoes are really gruesome.

  90. h_valentine | 9/07/08

    Compared to that last post (where she was hiding her face with a bag on set) her legs look sooo much worse. Must be the outfit and shoes though, like everyone says. Poor girl.

  91. pris72 | 9/07/08

    wow, a slim girl with cankles…yay!

  92. coppergirl | 9/07/08

    This obsession with cankles is cracking me up. A couple of years ago, everyone was yammering on about abs this, abs that, now cankles are in the spotlight.

  93. K | 9/07/08

    the outfit is hideous and belongs back in the 50’s or whichever decade it came from. she has cankles and the shoes certainly don’t help, but she has good thighs. it’s weird, sometimes i think she’s really pretty and other times, i wonder how on earth she even got a job on television.

  94. bountyhunter | 9/07/08

    Spectra,….. oh yeah, every word:)

  95. Sophie | 10/07/08

    There is something a little off about her legs (they still look good tho) but apart from that her figure is perfect.

  96. ella | 10/07/08

    Ohh that outfit is SO unflattering. Such a pretty girl, although I’m disappointed she/they have lightened her hair! I prefer it darker (although I know she’s naturally light).

  97. montse | 10/07/08

    horrible shorts… she has big ankles ….

  98. Critico | 10/07/08

    Okie body.
    Ugly oufit.

  99. chloe | 10/07/08

    was the last post of her really her? seriously i love her, but i don’t think that she is as thin as we thought. she looks good to me, but since we didn’t see her face last time and the fact that she looks so much bigger im wondering if maybe that wasnt her….

  100. Betti | 11/07/08

    she looks disgusting

  101. Fashionista | 11/07/08

    It’s so depressing to admit that such a beautiful, flawless face can share a body with such hideous cankles… she’s got really good thighs! What’s up with the cankles?!

    And yuck, what is she WEARING?

  102. pak31 | 11/07/08

    From the waist down it looks like Misha Barton!!!! How incredibly sad.

  103. Nina | 11/07/08

    I love how this outfit is so obviously grandma style, but made cute instantly because of the person who’s wearing it. Freakin’ great.

  104. betz | 11/07/08

    The shorts are fine. It’s the shoes that emphasize her cankles!

  105. ThatsWhatISaidCarrots | 11/07/08

    Please don’t blame the shorts.
    This girl appears to be suffering from an extreme case of CANKLES.

  106. princesspeach | 12/07/08

    “Am I alone in thinking that those orange shorts are horrendous-looking and do nothing for her legs?”

    NO YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AHHHHHH!
    pak31 you are right, omg!

  107. jaxx | 13/07/08

    she looks about 5 years old

  108. Anonymous | 13/07/08

    I think I just vomited a little in my mouth.

  109. miss ghesquiere | 19/07/08

    these pics are distorted, ive seen the original ones and her legs do not looks nearly as huge. She has an amazing body and is extraordinarily beautiful!
