Leighton Meester was photographed on the steps of the Met in a shiny croc Nancy Gonzalez bag very similar to the Nancy Gonzalez Shiny Croc Tote ($4.400) pictured above. I was on my way to one of the Philharmonic in the park performances
when this took place actually, so I saw her…and her eye catching bag! The bag fits perfectly with her character, though I’m not sure that I would be so fond of an 18 year old in “real life” toting around a croc bag with such a classic shape, structure, and size. I’m also doing my best to ignore that hideous outfit because in the end, despite the age of who is wearing it, it’s truly exquisite (plus Leighton only plays an 18 year old. She’s actually 23). I would love to see this bag paired with some simple trousers and a blouse or for someone in an older demo, how great would it look with a light-colored skirt suit (a la the yellow Michael Kors one Michelle Obama just wore)!? What do you think about Leighton’s Nancy Gonzalez?
The bag has a very classic look. Therefore I like it. I agree with everything you wrote about the outfit and age of the actress. What on earth was going on her mind ? Obviously nothing. Although I like the bag, which is reasonably priced, I do have my doubts about NC quality.
it’s her character’s costume what she’s wearing and the bag is all Blair. Leighton’s style is much more ‘rocker’ and laid back so this is neither a bag nor a dress she would wear off set. That aside I love and adore the bag.
