Leighton revealed in the June 2009 issue of Cosmopolitan that she “doesn’t believe in dieting” and that she is very comfortable with her body.

OK is anyone else wondering what on earth she is wearing? I don’t know if it’s the outfit or not, but it almost looks like she has gained some weight recently… what do YOU all think?

    Wow, it must be so fun to go the Gala!

    Such a good excuse to dress up in crazy outfits and not be accused of being a Lady GaGa substitute :-)

    If I got to go I’d dress in such odd clothes as to put Ziggy Stardust to blame – I say go to this girl (not a clue who she is though..!? She’s cute looking but looks uncomfortabkle in the crazy outfit…)

    leighton needs to hire the costumer for gossip girl as her stylist. she looks so much better on the show then i’ve ever seen her look at any event. like the lighter hair, amazing body- this outfit does absolutely nothing for her.

    I actually kind of like the outfit. I’m sure partly because she looks so comfortable and happy in it. The pockets are good.
    Pretty girl, but it’s easy to look good in your 20’s.

    I kind of love this outfit for the event. I hate the silly shoes and not fond of the orange at the calf, but the rest is fun, quirky and interesting. I like when fashion isn’t so “safe”. She looks a bit Gwen Stefani in the face with her new blonde locks.

    Not edgy enough to pull this off. I agree the dress alone may have worked on her.

    She is cute in a girl next door kind of way and has provided much amusement with this one, which is always fun. Nice smile too.

    oh i love love love the outfit, i think it suits her skin tone, i’m a succer for colours, it’s the first thing i think when i’m putting together my tenue. i still have hard time believing she’s a natural blonde like many have said. Or, i don’t question what they’re saying but she just doesn’t look like it to me. With that hair and make up she actually reminds me a bit of Whitney Port from the Hills, or some photo i’ve seen from her.

    Well, her face, hair and makeup are lovely, as is her body shape/weight. The outfit is a mess. I think I could deal with it if it was just the top (as a dress) with nice black heels. It’s the pants that kill it.

    The dress could be pretty, minus the pompoms and leggings. As for Leighton, I’ve always thought she was at a lovely weight and that she looks fit and healthy! A true role model. But I just wish she hadn’t dyed her hair. It was nicest season 1 of Gossip Girl, dark. So much more classy on her!

    she looks ridiculous. the blonde hair is for the movie The Roommate (it’s like Single White Female set in college, she’ll dye it back to brown when her crazy character tries to become more like her brunette roommate) so that’s forgivable, but the OUTFIT wtf? the print would be interesting without the leggings or poof-martian sleeves, but as is it’s a big fat FAIL.

    her body on the other hand looks just fine IMO.

    Cute body, cute shoes but awful outfit overall…and an unflattering lip shade.

    Hideous outfit definitely but I doubt if she gained. It’s that bold color and unflattering thing.

    maybe it’s just the unflattering crazy prints that are making her look bigger than usual? i don’t know, i can’t remember what she looked like before!
