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.
