Leighton Meester – Our No. 1 Celebrity Ambassador for Crossbody Bags

Unlike her alter ego, Blair Waldorf (who prefers handbags), Leighton Meester goes for crossbody bags that are easy to carry and never in the way, allowing both her hands free to do other things. Crossbody bags may not be as feminine as handbags, but they sure are practical. And for a busy multi-tasking actress like Leighton, a crossbody bag is a better companion as it acts as a support rather than a hassle.

You can easily tell that she’s crazy about this kind of bag because she has it in different styles and sizes, from the mini to the large. And she wears it wherever she goes! In fact, I have rarely seen her NOT wearing one. Her trips to red carpet events may have required her to don the clutch, but outside, it’s crossbody all the way. She obviously has a thing for crossbody bags, it’s more like a love affair rather than a passing admiration. And for this, I’d like to name her as our #1 Celebrity Ambassador for crossbody purses.
