Leighton Meester

Another celebrity fashion face-off featuring one of your favorite TV stars (and another who's past her prime and in the process of whoring out her little kids on a reality show to stay in the spotlight).

Your job to is to tell us who looks better in the same dress!

Denise Richards picked up an Armani Exchange dress at the line's L.A. store, while Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester snagged her wave-print dress at the New York boutique. Easy call? Toss-up? You be the judge ...

Who wins this fashion clash: Leighton Meester or Denise Richards?

The CW series Gossip Girl is renowned for its scandalous New York teenagers - and their chic, trend-setting fashion choices! These gossip girls (and their guy counterparts) are able to pull off looks most of us couldn't dream of.

Of course, it helps if you look like Blake Lively or Leighton Meester.

These two ladies are pretty attractive in anything they wear. Here's a look at some of the bright, spring outfits worn by the actresses in recent episodes.

Would you wear these super-sunny yellow and orange jackets, or is your fashion sense more understated than these New York prepsters?

Gossip Girl fashion: Bold and beautiful? Over the top?

Leighton Meester (an adorable Minka Kelly look-alike) plays the queen of mean, Blair Waldorf, on the CW shot Gossip Girl. Blair is known for her status as the ruler of her school's social elite - and for her discerning fashion tastes.

This one, though? What is Blair going for? Is this a sailor-inspired dress? A safari hat? Is she sailing to Africa and then embarking on a wildlife excursion? And what's with the gloves? There's a fine line between trendy and silly on Gossip Girl.

Which side does this fall under?

What do you think of this Gossip Girl fashion attempt? Can Leighton pull off the nautical dress - or are the producers trying way too hard?

Yeah, we know. We already profiled these look-alikes.

But when they're spotted at the same place at the same time - the Diamond Information Center and InStyle lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif. - how can we resist an encore presentation?

Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights and Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl are talented, cute actresses who star on two of our favorite shows. So maybe we lump them together for that reason. But there's a resemblance for sure...

Minka Kelly (left) and Leighton Meester both shined Thursday.

The best news of all? We believe both ladies are single! Rumors that Leighton and co-star Chace Crawford were dating have fizzled (as he romances Carrie Underwood), while Minka Kelly just broke up with John Mayer! Nice!

Yes, he's dreamy, she admits. But Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester is deflecting talk of a real-life romance with her co-star, Chace Crawford.

"For the record, it's not true!" Meester told People at The Help Group's Annual Teddy Bear Ball, where CW chief Dawn Ostroff was being honored.

This admission by Leighton Meester follows a story in yesterday's New York Post suggesting that Crawford and Carrie Underwood had broken up and that Leighton Meester had been seen kissing her Gossip Girl co-star off-set.

Leighton Meester does call Chace Crawford one of her favorite co-stars.

"I'm really close to Chace," Leighton said. "We're really good friends."

The two attended the Teddy Bear gala, though there were no palpable signs of them dating, such as Chace and Leighton sucking face or anything. It didn't happen.

Crawford, who has been spotted Carrie Underwood many times this fall, sat next to another Gossip Girl co-star, Blake Lively, while Meester sat across the table.

Lively, for one, says she's sick of all this celebrity gossip.

"One thing I've noticed is that fans kind of want everybody to be their character," she said. "Like Leighton [dating] Chace, and me and Leighton hating each other. Those are our characters on the show. That's not us in real life."

The always cute cast of Gossip Girl made the trip out to Long Island City, Queens, on Friday to shoot a series of holiday ads for the Gap. Check 'em out ...

Above: Chace Crawford (Nate) and Blake Lively (Serena) looking as terrific as ever. We can certainly see what Carrie Underwood sees in Chace Crawford!

Below: The lovely Leighton Meester (Blair), who may be the cutest girl on Earth. Or at least tied with Friday Night Lights look-alike Minka Kelly for that honor. What we would've give to receive that under the tree this year.

Blake, Chace, Leighton and the rest of their Gossip Girl cohorts return for an all-new episode this Wednesday on The CW. We're counting down the days.

Another day, another set of Gossip Girl photos from the set of the hit CW series. The well-dressed stars were spotted filming in Manhattan as usual this week. Here's a couple of Leighton Meester (Blair) and Chace Crawford (Nate) ...

Chace Crawford and Leighton Meester: Young, talented, well-dressed.

While their characters appear to be broken up as of the most recent episode of Gossip Girl, these two sure would make a cute couple, don't you think?

Too bad Chace is already taken - by Carrie Underwood! As for Leighton, we aren't sure if she's single... but she sure does look like Minka Kelly.

Hot, young actress alert - times two!

In the photos below, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were spotted in New York filming scenes for a Christmas episode of the new CW hit, Gossip Girl...

The lovely and stylish Blake Lively, 20, was seen wearing a red suede coat, a gray sweater, metallic gloves and a plaid tie as she enjoyed a candy cane (left).

Meanwhile, Minka Kelly look-alike Leighton Meester, 21, wore a navy school girl uniform with matching red accessories â€" patent leather tote, bow belt and ribbon hair band. Those prep school uniforms are ... something else.

These two young beauties together - along with an entertaining, funny show that doesn't take itself too seriously - make Gossip Girl a weekly must-see!

Young. Cute. On the brink of stardom.

These descriptions fit Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly like a cheerleading skirt. She portrays Lyla Garrity on the incredible NBC show.

But there's another actress making a name for herself, one who can also be described in the same way as Minka. Maybe because she looks exactly like her.

We're talking about Leighton Meester, star of the new primetime soap opera, Gossip Girl.

Each celebrity has wavy brown hair, an adorable half smile, arms and serious issues when it comes to boyfriends and best friends. On their shows, that is.

So if you're sick of celebrity gossip sources covering Britney Spears and other played out stars - or if you're scared of an attack by Chris Crocker if you continue to pay attention to that train wreck - this is your chance to familiarize yourself with the next generation of cuteness. Enjoy:
