Leighton Meester believes ‘versatility’ is her best beauty asset.
The ‘Gossip Girl‘ actress – who recently became the global ambassador for Herbal Essences haircare range – likes to experiment with a variety of looks and thinks she can pull them all off.
When asked what her biggest beauty asset was, Leighton replied: ‘Versatility. I try different looks and I’m happy that I can achieve them and not look like a clown. I like to have fun with hair and make-up.’
While Leighton enjoys experimenting with her hair and make-up, she has also learnt to embrace her natural beauty – something she found hard to do at first.
She told WWD: ‘You can get used to getting your make-up and hair done all the time and then you don’t love what you look like naturally. So I try to embrace that. I learned to love the way I look without make-up and how my hair dries naturally. It took me a long time.’
While Leighton‘s style is emulated around the world, she urges people to create a look which is unique to them.
She said: ‘I’m lucky because expressing my personal style is fun and I have fun with it. Everyone should love their own look. Don’t copy; do your own thing.’

Cheryl Cole has retained her crown as the world’s best dressed woman.
The ‘Fight for This Love‘ singer beat off competition from models and actresses to claim the title in the UK edition of Glamour magazine for a second year – while list staples such as Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham slipped down to seventh and eighth places respectively.
Kate previously topped the poll in 2008, while Victoria couldn’t retain last year’s third place.
Cheryl has recently sported a series of figure hugging outfits, typically smart with short, neat skirts, or cut away harem pants, accessorised with hats, as she promoted her new solo material.
Second place went to singer Rihanna while ‘Gossip Girl‘ actress Blake Lively came third.
Rihanna donned a series of tight cutaway outfits and a strong urban, heavy metal and military influence during the latter half of 2009, promoting her latest album ‘Rated R‘.
Blake is a key figure in US fashion and has been praised for her abilities to carry off both casual bohemian style and catwalk dresses, and she has been tipped to replace actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the fashion stakes.
Newcomers to the list include Lady Gaga, Florence Welch, Pixie Lott, Leona Lewis and Kristen Stewart.
Robert Pattinson was named the best dressed man by the magazine while Katie Price was named worst dressed woman, and, alongside with her husband Alex Reid, worst dressed couple.
