Leighton Meester's Eye Popping, Patterned Louis Vuitton Gown

Expressing her admiration once more for modern fashion, Leighton Meester’s Louis Vuitton ensemble shows what creativity is all about. Of course, for most of the gossipers, the intricately patterned gown is too much, because it doesn’t fit the mold of shiny, long and pretty, yet predictable, gowns. It was a costume gala!

If you follow the latest fashions, you’ll notice many designers like Ungaro and Betsey Johnson are setting new colorful trends for young woman. And in Leighton’s case, it’s an eye-popping, full of life outfit that confidently represents a young generation of starlets taking one step forward into the next century design. Fashion is supposed to be over the top! Plus, you wouldn’t be a real Gossip Girl if your entrance didn’t stir up some discussion.
