Rag Report: Always the sophisticated, Waldorf


Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness.


Blair Waldorf, ahem, Leighton Meester takes to the pages of Lithuania magazine L’Officel in the March issue. Donning the latest trends of bold, bright colors, Meester looks nothing less than regal in this editorial.

Meester takes our breath away in this photo. We love how simple the photo is because it exemplifies her stunning beauty as well as the Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit. The bright orange color compliments her skin tone, perfectly. Even though Meester’s eyes aren’t directed toward the camera, we still are engaged with the image.


Hair slicked back in a chignon, coral lipstick and neutral eye shadow, Meester looks perfectly content in the photo. The glimmer in her eye and subtle tilt of the lips transforms this image into something magical. Meester wears the Max Mara outfit with a grace and confidence that speaks volumes.


The editorial spread isn’t the only images with a gray backdrop. L’Officiel uses the same background on its cover and, we absolutely love it! Meester’s posture is slouched yet her facial expression is poised. The Lanvin top and Jil Sander skirt works in this cover as orange type is around her. I guess we know what colors are going to be a hit for spring!

Overall, the editorial is clean and simple. The photographer manages to capture Meester’s true beauty without the addition of over exaggerated makeup or hair. The background complimented the simplicity the photographer conveyed in the images.
