Leighton Meester: Glamour Magazine April 2010

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester covers the latest issue of Glamour, on stands March 9.

Leighton shares the cover with Avatar’s Zoe Saldana and Dear John’s Amanda Seyfried. In the magazine, Glamour features the 50 most glam women of 2010. Here’s what the ladies had to say:

Leighton (Most Stylish) on marriage:
“If [marriage] was important to somebody I loved, maybe I’d think about it, but I don’t think that I’m the type. It’s not for me. I wouldn’t mind living together. [But] eventually I’ll have to get a separate house for my shoes!”

Zoe (Most Elegent) on her life:
“I want to have more sex, travel more, drink more wine and love life… Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.”

Amanda (Most Down-to-Earth) on being a grounded person:
“There’s something empty about having your own VIP booth, and people staring at you, drinking and dancing—to get what?.. Maybe people [in Hollywood] wear really nice clothes, and they drive really nice cars—but that doesn’t make me comfortable. And if I’m not comfortable, it won’t be part of my life.”

On family life: “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.”

On life as a working mom on the Broadway set of All My Sons: “Suri would sit in my lap in the makeup chair. She’d hand the wig lady the bobby pins.“

On fashion: “I love Alaïa, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it’s very American, and I’m pretty all-American, from Ohio. Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron.

On adjusting to Hollywood life since moving from the UK: “I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn’t in England. It’s funny – I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you’re in Hollywood! It’s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That’s why I love playing character parts, because I’m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ingénue or romantic lead.”

On types of characters she is drawn to: “I think my connection to acting has been through reading. I’m interested in scripts. People ask me, “What role are you dying to play?” It’s really, What story do I want to be in?”

On actresses from earlier eras that have influenced her: “For Leatherheads, I was thinking of Katharine Hepburn, the way she leaned forward with her shoulders back, speaking in her lower register the whole time. I like her confidence, her intelligence, her sense of entitlement. When I was making Chicago, I couldn’t stop watching the Marilyn [Monroe] videos. Not so much because of the sex kitten thing; it was more her vulnerability. That was a huge part of the Roxie character. But it’s not about emulating; it’s about a feeling.”

On whether a successful movie career requires sacrificing your personal life:“A friend of mine couldn’t decide between moving to New York or staying in L.A., and another friend said, “Do Everything!” I thought, That’s it, do everything.”

On being known as a beautiful Hollywood actress: “I’m sorry, but it’s sexy to know that guys find you attractive. It’s empowering.”
