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

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 31, 2011

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 the high forehead thing that you mentioned (an "eight-head" actually!) and it does help to balance the face. I think the bangs look very cute on her. I'm going to say Nay, however, on the eyebrows and outfit. The brows are looking messy and you're right, she does look exhausted. The outfit isn't helping matters either. Much too loud!

However, I'm not really keen on this look. Perhaps it's that her face looks a little too pale or that her hairstyle is too casual - I can't put a finger on it. I find the dress pattern really busy but I do like it.
