The 'Gossip Girl' star lights up the July cover of the mag and spills on her style evolution — it's all thanks to Blair Waldorf!
Leighton Meester looks absolutely gorgeous as the new face on this month's Lucky, but the star unveils that she didn't always live so glamorously pre-Gossip Girl. In fact, she loved hitting garage sales! Take a look at her fun shoot before it hits newsstands on Jun. 5. "My friend says that before the show I dressed like a homeless person," says Leighton. "I used to buy everything at garage sales. It was hard to give up! I'd be like, 'But this crazy sweater is amazing, and it only cost 25 cents!'" "I've learned from Blair, though. Now I like to pepper in something designer"--she tugs at her Isabel Marant sweatshirt--"with my usual stuff."

When asked if she/d be successful, she pauses for a minute, "I don't know. Yes?" she finally ventures. "But you can't count on success in this business. And anyway, being famous or rich or making a certain kind of movie--none of that means 'success' to me. Success to me is being happy and fulfilled, truly fulfilled, and being proud of myself and doing different things all the time. So thus far, yes, I've been successful."Courtesy Ben Watts/Lucky
"I've stopped wearing makeup when I'm not working," she continues, kindly ignoring my poor cruise-director-ing. "For a while I thought I had dark circles and bad skin, and then I realized I was seeing myself that way because I didn't recognize myself anymore without makeup. Now when I wear it, I think I look really weird!" Courtesy Ben Watts/Lucky
"It's different than anything I've ever done before," she says, "100 percent comedy, very funny, super-raunchy" in regards to her latest film 'That's My Boy'. Courtesy Ben Watts/Lucky
