‘Lovestruck’ Leighton Meester Does Vera Wang Proud
Leighton Meester for Vera Wang's 'Lovestruck'
Leighton Meester is the new face of Vera Wang’s fragrance, Lovestruck. It was standing room only at Vera Wang’s Park Avenue apartment as the designer and Leighton presented the fragrance.

Meester looked stunning in a Vera Wang gown,
“Everyone else was in three parkas and Leighton is standing there in a strapless evening dress with a very thin fabric,” said Wang, noting that the ad was shot on a particularly frigid winter day on Mercer Street in SoHo. Naturally, this caught the attention of every tourist with an iPhone — but while Wang wasn’t wild about unauthorized visuals floating about, she did appreciate the spontaneous market research. “When I heard tourists saying, ‘ I want to look like her,’ I knew we were right on the money,” said Wang. “There’s nothing like the real client in the street, and I mean the street literally — and in windows literally.”
Meester says of the shoot,
“I was above it all, literally,” she said with a laugh of her fourth-floor perch on the fire escape where the ad was shot. “So I was just kind of entertaining myself — I did a little singing, did a little dance.”
Um, yeah. I want to look like that too. Vera certainly knew what she was doing when she picked Leighton. Amazing. Truly a beautiful ad.
