The latest issue of **[NYLON magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nylon-membership)** was printed with [alternate covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-wallpaper), one featuring Blake Lively and the other Leighton Meester, both of whom stars of the hit TV series *Gossip Girl*.

It's a great marketing approach for the magazine, as fans of the show (or the celebs) will instantly be attracted to both covers. A true collector would probably go so far as to purchase both, despite the inner content being the same.

The [issue](http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=1309) features a beautiful editorial spread of Blake, who plays Serena Van Der Woodsen on the show, and Leighton who plays Blair Waldorf.
