Leighton Meester’s Bottega Veneta Emmy Gown

Leighton Meester wore the most gorgeous grecian Bottega Veneta gown to the Emmy’s last night, and I happen to think that it would be the perfect wedding dress. I saw her earlier on someone’s worst-dressed list, but that someone shall remain nameless, because a)I’m against the whole idea of worst-dressed lists, it’s just not nice, and 2)you can’t hate her because she’s the queen B! Check out her gorgeous gown:

I am completely mad for the puffy, drapey shoulders, the soft edges, and the detail around the waist. She looks so drop dead sexy and elegant at the same time that it’s hard to believe that this is Blair Waldorf! Not that Blair isn’t hot, she’s just a little preppy, and I imagine she would find this gown terribly, terribly gauche. But that’s Blair, and this is Leighton, and I think she looks fab, and that any bride would die to walk down the aisle in a timeless number like this one.

Jennifer Behr Black Stone Headband

Jennifer Behr is one of the genius hair accessories designers who is responsible for the gorgeous pieces that Blair Waldorf wears on Gossip Girl. She has really re-invented the headband by creating unique pieces that look sophisticated and stylish.

I would love to post about Jennifer Behr’s absolutely beautiful handmade headbands everyday, but at around $200 per piece I realize that unless you have the wealth of a character on Gossip Girl, you probably won’t be stocking up on these. These hair accessories are definitely designed to be paired with elegant outfits for special occasions.

Solid Jet Black Padded Headband $220

My favorite Jennifer Behr piece right now is her jet black padded headband. This puffy headband has a semi-circular cross-section that reminds me of a queen’s headdress. It has large vintage faceted glossy black stones in a geometric pattern. This looks absolutely gorgeous with a sleek updo and a soft dark dress. I would love to wear this to a special event! Next time I have to dress for a special occasion I will start with a Jennifer Behr accessory and work out to the clothes and shoes.
