Popsugar Beauty Brown Hair Leighton Meester's Brown Hair on Gossip Girl A Look Back at Newly Blonde Leighton Meester's Blair Waldorf Hair (and Headbands) 4 April 2018 by Alaina Demopoulos Image Source: Everett Collection Spotted at Tribeca's Nexxus Salon, hair in foils: Leighton Meester. Yup, ICYMI, one of the most iconic millennial brunettes, Blair Waldorf — er, Leighton — just went platinum blonde. As the "Heartstrings" singer told POPSUGAR, she chose to switch things up because she wants, "to try something completely drastic and different, and I thought this is the right moment to do it. You know when you just get it in your mind and you have to do it?" Girlfriend looks fabulous, but we couldn't help but get a little nostalgic for her OG colour. That's why we took the time to make this very important ode to Blair's hair. Ahead, find the moments the Queen Bee of the Upper East Side gave us major hair (and headband) envy.

While the back of my ears ache from the thought of wearing one of these skinny things, it's OK because Blair rocks the look, which enhances the drama of her deep side part and long waves. 4 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection Spotted: Blair looking fierce in a rhinestone headband that's not as dated as Serena's old Blackberry phone. 5 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection Wet hair, we really care! Blair sported the now-trendy style way before it was popular. 6 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection While some might pair a daring bandage dress with a more demure hairstyle, Blair said "f*ck it" with a curly half-up that's pure bedroom hair goals. 7 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection Catfights aren't the most feminist-friendly cinematic trope, but dang if this one doesn't give us a killer view of Blair's brown strands. 8 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection We'll always have pompoms: Leighton's bone-straight hair perfectly compliments her voluminous cap. 9 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection She opted to pair her blue beret with red-tinted hair and we give this French-girl style a big "oui oui." 10 / 11 Image Source: Everett Collection We'll leave you with this: classic Blair, classic hair. 11 / 11 Brown HairBeauty TrendsBeauty NewsBrunette HairCelebrity HairGossip GirlLeighton MeesterP!nk
