Given her passion for fashion, Leighton Meester chose the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day—front row at Vera Wang’s Fall 2012 show.
Leighton Meester embodied Vera Wang’s philosophy: ‘A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.’ She confidently paired a printed green chiffon dress with bold mustard-yellow Giuseppe Zanotti heels, which Leighton said in a tweet she capped off with a spritz of Vera Wang’s Lovestruck perfume. She also accessorized with David Yurman jewelry.

You might recognize Leighton Meester’s Giuseppe Zanotti suede t-strap sandals because we spotted the black version on LeAnn Rimes in December at the first-ever American Giving Awards.

Leighton Meester’s love for Vera Wang doesn’t stop at fashion week. Just a year earlier, she showcased another stunning look by the designer while lighting up the Empire State Building for the 5th DKMS Annual Gala.

In April 2011, Leighton was spotted lighting the Empire State Building with Vera Wang in honor of the 5th DKMS Annual Gala.
For the event, Leighton wore a Japanese printed tea-length draped silk skirt and sleeveless top from… you guessed it, Vera Wang.

She completed her outfit with Brian Atwood’s Debra slingback pumps. At the Teen Choice Awards 2009, the actress wore red pumps from the same designer with a black and white striped Louis Vuitton mini dress.
What do you think of Leighton’s skirt style? It’s a midi (tea length) with a side drape. Do you like it? Here’s a closer look at the print:

It’s such a beautiful print. Unfortunately, it is no longer available online.
Vera Wang once said, ‘Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one’s head as a designer.’ It’s no surprise that stars like Leighton Meester, Ariana Grande, and Selena Gomez gravitate toward her elegant yet modern creations.
