Leighton Meester’s red-carpet and out-and-about looks get me almost every time.

So I wasn’t surprised to learn that Herbal Essences has named the “Gossip Girl” star their new global hair ambassador because of her “talent and enjoyment in exploring her signature style.”

In her new role with Herbal Essences, Leighton will be featured in print advertorials in national magazines starting this summer and on HerbalEssences.com and Facebook.
