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?

wtf???
first??
iuuuvvv..the dress :S
pretty girl, ugly outfit
what in the world?… and she normally wears really cute clothes…
WHO? Why?
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…)
*Put Ziggy Stardust to SHAME lol. Not blame *stupid* *
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.
hahahahaahahahaha. wow. I don’t know what to say. This post just put me in better mood for the day.
That is outfit is just, um, unique.
I love this girl! She is so healthy and gorgeous. If she’s 5′4 (what I’ve read) than I would guess she is a healthy 115 pounds. She looks awesome!
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.
Well, the outfit is horrible, but she’s obviously having fun with it. I think her weight is great. I think she is slender but realistic. Bravo to her!
I have NO idea what she is wearing but she has always been slim and trim. Sometimes she goes up in weight a tiny bit, but I think she is gorgeous no matter what.
Lovely Louis Vuitton dress, but she shouldn’t have worn the leggings and also her hair style is wrong.
I don’t think she gained any. If you imagine that hunk of fabric around her waist to be gone, she looks the same.
OH DEAR is all I’m going to say. (rihanna’s outfit at the same event was about as dreadful as that one)
Oh dear. It’s a miss.
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.
I actually like all of the pieces of the outfit individually. Together, they make me cry, but I guess they were appropriate for the event.
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.
is her dad called Mr. Messter? cause that’s just awesome.
…oooook???
i used to have a teacher mr meesters
but anyways…i was definately not expecting those leggings!! i thought “what a pretty dress”, until i continued to scroll
oh and i don’t think she’s gained, au contraire, she looks slim now, where as in the past few months, weeks, idk, she, to me, has looke a bit round/soft in the show..
the dress is pretty minus the ‘leggings’.
OMG that dress!! being blonde does NOT suit her at all! Her body always looks great to me though, but in these pictures she doesn’t look all that great…ack.
vicky beckham madonna and leighotn wore same brand shoes . taste less? YES!
OMG! I think that outfit is totally appalling!!
WOW! That is the ugliest thing I have EVER seen!!! What is it with this costume gala that is EVERYONE is dressing like a clown!! Seriously, everyone got dressed in the dark!
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.
It’s really hard to concentrate on her body, that outfit is more than distracting. From what I can tell, she looks good though. I’m a fan of her body – toned and curvy.
I actually think she was looking so much more better as brunette. Hard to say anything about the body, I mean, the dress just takes all attension..
RIAN, is there any changes to see pictures of her in something more ordinary clothes? I’d like to see more of her (=
now THAT’S an attention wh***. but i’m sure she was just trying to be original & avant-garde… aha for sure. needs a new make-up artist or face for that matter.
i love it, except for the shoes. someone actually goes kinda costumed!
i believe that the dress is by talbot & runhof, i dont know why.. the style of it looks like some dresses from a collection from 2 years ago or so. but i dont think she would be wearing it then. whatever, it doesnt look good at all, i wonder why people who got the money to employ a stylist dress so awful
ok that dress would be cute if it didn’t have those big huge puffy sleeves, and those horrid leggings…and different shoes obviously.
Oh, I absolutely love her but this is quite awful. She looks a lot better with brown hair (and Blair can’t have blond hair!), and those leggings make her legs appear a lot bigger than they are.
WTF????????????
What the @*#^$#@(%$ is this?
I don’t think she’s gained weight, it’s just the horrible outfit, imo.
That outfit is sickkkkk!!! She needs to die her hair brown though. Immediately
And keep in mind guys, this is the met gala so you kind of have to wear a crazy couture outfit
@Izzy, the dress is from LOUIS VUITTON FALL 2009
Gah! overkill. Tone it down a tad.
I think she is so beautiful but this outfit is hideous! And Im not sure of the new lighter hair…
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!
OH no. The hideous outfit makes it too hard for me to consider her weight.
Her collar bones are fairly prominent considering she does not look skinny over all
I agree londoncalling, I love the LV dress as well but the leggings are too much. I love her shoes though.
And it is, in fact, Louis Vuitton 2009 collection.
oh. my. god.
and what’s with her hair???
usually she looks so gorgeous…
when bad clothes happen to good people
Ha, her and VB are wearing slightly similar shoes, except Leightons do have small white balls than VB’s. Nah, she’s always looked like this, however I do not like her with blond hair! She reminds me of Shirley Temple!
I hate the dress .. she looks like a clown!
And it seems like everybody wore the same shoes?! and didn’t i see heidi klum with the same shoes some weeks before?
I wonder what Gaga would have wore to this event haha. Probably a grey tee, navy baggy joggers and trainers.
Ok I love de whole look, except for the shoes and the orage tights… I would definitly wear it! She looks really good as always and I don’t think she gained.
*orange
Outfits like this prove to me that “fashion” is a trick played on women. Cute girl, though.
So cute, obviusly not for everyday wear but shes rocking a very gutsy look I wish i could got to one of those things it would fun to dress up like that.
Do Victoria Beckham and she have the same shoe supporter? ^^
I think everyone else has said it all–what the heck? ew.
I think it’s just the outfit, she seems to be the same weight-wise
i looove her outfit!! it’s really fashionable and fits to the event! <3
but i prefer her with a darker haircolour, blonde makes her face look a bit more chubby… but she’s still pretty.
that outfit is absolutely terrible .not fashionable at all . oh well probably, but not the kinda fashion i like. but she IS indeed a pretty girl . she looks so healthy . i like her tan alot. overall she looks alright. would say 5,5 & 120 pounds . def not less, not more either – what do u guys think ?
It seems like she’s in a very good shape. Looks like the shoes that she is wearing are the same shoes as Vicky Beckham is wearing in the previous post.
I cannot make a comment b/c I feel like I just dropped acid!
Words escape me….
I actually like the dress. Wasn’t this a costume party? She looks really good, and I think less that 120, more 115, I’m 5′5 120 and I looked like that at 115.
who ever got her to wear this hates her
Love her, usually she is so pretty and cute.
Here….Hate the whole outfit, shoes, makeup. She needs to go back to darker hair also.
This outfit reminds me of David Bowie. It’s great to see stuff like this, once in a while.
SHE HASNT gained … its dat out outfit , sweet jesus , lord have nercy on the designer
WHAT ON HEARTH IS SHE WEARING???? is that a joke?? besides the worst outfit i’ve seen lately, i don’t believe most of the actresses/singers who say that they don’t diet, they may not “diet” but they exercise and watch what they eat on normal basis, i’m sure!!
What the…??? She looks like a cracked-out clown!!! Um, Leighton, honey, if you have a stylist, fire her! This is a butt-heinous look.
She’s beautiful, but the outfit is horrible. I don’t know what she was thinking, maybe someone dared her to wear it!
<<<<<< oh gosh, not sure why but that comment made me laugh sooo hard, that was amazing, so thanks for that luce!
hate the outfit, hate the hair, but I don’t think she has gained, guess it’s just the outfit. which was probably appropiate for the Gala, just hella weird for the rest of the world.
Munchkin escaped from the Wizard of Oz.
The outfit is a disaster but her hair color looks fab.
Pretty girl, Pretty ugly clothes
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.
seriously people. the event is called “Costume Insititute Gala”. Its full of models and the elite fashion pack. its a chance to be fun and fashion forward. man, some of you have no idea do you? Fashion is art.
Someone who doesn’t take herself too seriously– yay! I love her outfit; it’s fun, and appropriate for the occasion.
i like her outfit, at least she’s interesting to look at. she looks bizarre in the best possible way. go leighton!
it would have being nice if it wear just the dress and not plus the leggings but its a costume gala so i think its allowed.
I just lover her! She has a gorgeous face and body..btw she is wearing the same shoes as Victoria Beckham in the previous post
Oh dear. Ugly outfit. Leighton, what did you do to yourself?
I know it was the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “The Model as Muse” ball but come on, did they all read Amuse instead of Muse?
Cute body, cute shoes but awful outfit overall…and an unflattering lip shade.
BARF
Hideous outfit definitely but I doubt if she gained. It’s that bold color and unflattering thing.
come onnnnnnnn
yeah i don’t what the f345764@ happenned to her cheekbones so i guess she’s gained a little although may i say the last episodes from season 2 she looked thinner…
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!
Blair would be horrified!
OMG NOOOOOOOOO
what makes you think she doesnt take herself seriously? maybe she thinks shes super cool, making a fashion statement
