Leighton Meester and the little black dress go way back. As Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl, she first styled a bell-sleeve mini from Anna Sui. Throughout the next six seasons, various versions from Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Marc Jacobs solidified the style as a Blair staple.
Her former character's loyalty to LBDs stuck with Meester long after the series wrapped in 2012. Most recently, she channeled her inner Blair at an Urban Jürgensen soirée in Santa Monica, California. To celebrate the Danish watchmaker's historic relaunch, Meester wore her black-tie best to meet up with Rashida Jones, Ego Nwodim, and more stars. With help from her stylist, Ilaria Urbinati, the Gossip Girl alum embodied timeless elegance in an off-the-shoulder black gown by Carolina Herrera, complete with a plunging neckline and a floor-length skirt. The subtle gathering on the bodice added some variation to the otherwise sleek, column silhouette.
