Leighton Meester thinks her best beauty asset is her “versatility”.

The 24-year-old brunette actress/singer, best known for her role of Blair Waldorf in ‘Gossip Girl’, was just named as the latest face of Herbal Essences.

During an interview with WWD, Leighton was quizzed as to what her best asset was, to which she replied: “Versatility. I try different looks and I’m happy that I can achieve them and not look like a clown. I like to have fun with hair and make-up.”

Meester also revealed that sometimes she embraces a more natural look. “You can get used to getting your make-up and hair done all the time and then you don’t love what you look like naturally,” she added.

“So I try to embrace that. I learned to love the way I look without make-up and how my hair dries naturally. It took me a long time.”

Leighton – who recently split from Sebastian Stan – concluded: “I’m lucky because expressing my personal style is fun and I have fun with it. Everyone should love their own look. Don’t copy; do your own thing.”
