Leighton Meester Revives ‘Gossip Girl’ Nostalgia with Kendra Scott Campaign
Leighton Meester, best known for her iconic role as Blair Waldorf on the acclaimed series Gossip Girl, has once again captured the spotlight with a new jewelry campaign for Kendra Scott. Despite the show concluding in 2012, its legacy and fashion influence continue to resonate with fans and fashion enthusiasts.
In her recent Valentine’s Day edit, Meester unveiled a curated collection of jewelry, including a striking ruby red ring, reminiscent of the opulent accessories her character wore throughout the series. The ring, the Tatum July Band Ring, costs $65 and represents a stylish update to the designs associated with Waldorf.
“The wealthy character once wore a ruby ring on repeat, and the Tatum July Band Ring feels like a modern update,” Meester highlighted, referring to Blair’s signature style. The Tatum features two dark red crystals set on a 14k yellow gold over brass band, aligning with a popular trend known as ‘toi et moi,’ indicative of shared love and partnership.
Recent reviews have praised the ring as a perfect gift beyond the Valentine’s season, with one shopper stating, “My daughter was thrilled. Her coworkers loved it as well and wanted to know where it was purchased. It was a delightful gift!”
Meester’s look in the campaign combines the Tatum ring with other stylish pieces, including the Juliette Gold Band Ring in White CZ and the Davie Pearl 18k Gold Vermeil Band Ring in Freshwater Cultured Pearl, both of which are priced under $200. She also showcased romantic accessories like the Bold Heirloom Heart 18k Yellow Gold Vermeil Locket Pendant, which is available for $320.
With its affordable elegance and style versatility, the Tatum July Band Ring serves as a testament to Meester’s enduring influence in fashion, appealing both to long-time fans of Gossip Girl and those seeking to enhance their jewelry collection.
