Yay or Nay?: Leighton Meester's Bangs and Brows

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 31, 201128 comments

I love me some Leighton Meester but I'm having trouble loving this ensemble she's got going on over here. She recently attended a charity event at a boutique and tried a daring pattern on pattern outfit by J. Mendel with shoes by Bulgari. 


This fabric isn't my favourite and I'm not head over heels with these chunky platforms but all that could be forgiven if she didn't appear so plain jane to me!

Leighton is far too pretty to be looking so drained and tired! While bangs are usually suggested for those with a high forehead, I don't think she needs them; they just make her look unkempt. While I usually I love a full, thick brow, hers make seem very young- but not in a good way. Her eyeshadow in a shade of yellow-gold matches her dress but not her eyes or skin tone.  

Leighton's face is better suited for a glamorous but natural look. Bring back the preppy Blair we all love! 

What do you think- is this look a yay or nay?

I have to agree with Kiki - if these bangs were longer, almost like Sandra Bullock on the red carpet last year, it'd look edgier. This looks... off. I am a fan of her luscious brows though. That would be jealousy talking right there.

This is a no-go for Meester. Bold brows are a necessity for big eyes like Leighton has. However, bold brows can be tricky with bangs and fringe. Bangs above the brow bone just make the brows look bushier. However, Leighton also has a longer forehead, which generally makes bangs a necessity, too. Super tricky! Longer bangs- just below the brows would be a winner for Meester. Bangs that kiss her lashes a la Rachel Bilson (http://www.bellasugar.com/Rachel-Bilson-gets-bangs-new-haircut-1074416) would be perfect! Leighton's current look of too short bangs and thick brows makes her look too much like a little girl! (You know- back in the days before you plucked your eyebrows and your mother would just slice your bangs to keep your hair out of your face and eyes? Yikes!)

If her bangs were more sweeping and closer to the eye like this - http://www.haircaregrowthaids.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bang-fringe.jpg i think it would be more flattering. I've had that awkward bang cut before though where the fringe just hits too high :(

I also prefer leighton with shorter hair and curled.

Nay!
I think they look very 'awkward pre-teen'

Nay, I don't like this dress on her at all. She looks so drained.

I usually find Leighton stunning, fresh faced, and trendy. I find this look very bland. Although I appreciate that she is going the "au-naturel" route.. its just plain boring. Sorry Leighton, I say NAY.

yay - i like the bangs

Yay. Yes Leightons bangs look awesome on her. Both her brows and bangs look natural and instead of having straggly pieces the bamgs allow for a more polished look

IT helps shes adorable too

The brows are okay...bushy brows can work...the fringe, however, is slightly awkward.
