Yes, there's a PS1 involved:
There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In 'Leighton Meester
looks from the "Gossip Girl" era are ones that are a far cry from the Blair Waldorf aesthetic. And, to be fair, that describes a lot of them: If you go through pictures from when the show was on air — especially from after it became a massive hit — it does seem like the actor made a considered effort to wear things that were more aligned with, say, the downtown fashion scene than with the Upper East Side: edgier, shorter, with more cut-outs.
Much like Blair, though, Meester became a New York Fashion Week fixture, sitting front row at some of the most talked-about shows on the lineup, from 3.1 Phillip Lim to Altuzarra to, yes, Proenza Schouler. Her look to the latter's Spring 2011 debut, especially, epitomizes The Outfit at that moment: a super-cropped, long-sleeved fine knit top styled with a flannel-look wrap-front mini skirt, high heeled platform boots and a riff on the brand's hit PS1 bag.
