On the Red Carpet: Leighton Meester in Chicago Fashion

Leighton Meester, star of the hit CW show “Gossip Girl” and a now aspiring singer, kicked off 2010 at Chicago’s popular nightclub Underground. At about 1 A.M., Leighton took the stage to promote her new pop/R&B album, which has yet to announce a release date. Though we weren’t there for her performance, we did get wind of her Chicago-bought clothing and accessories. Leighton is known for her stand-out uptown-meets-downtown style, and this red carpet look perfectly nails such understated elegance.

Sofia Vintage (1165 N Clark Street) styled the starlet in a vintage long sleeve, backless Chantilly lace top ($75) and Armani high-waisted trousers from the early 90’s ($195). The look was accessorized with fine jewelry by Chicago-based Dana Rebecca Designs. Leighton donned the onyx and diamond “Julianne Himiko Hearts” earrings ($880) and the onyx and diamond “Lisa Michelle” ring ($1,540)—both of which were positively glamorous finishing touches.

Isn’t it wonderful seeing so much Chicago fashion on the red carpet?
