Kristen Bell & Leighton Meester Bring Gossip Girl Vibes to SAG Awards 2025!
Grab your popcorn, Gossip Girl fans! Kristen Bell and Leighton Meester, the queens of Upper East Side drama, took a delightful stroll down memory lane at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 23. While the SAG Awards are typically a night for honoring outstanding performances in film and television, this year, they turned into a nostalgic sitcom reunion that left fans reeling.
The duo stepped back into their best-known personas — Bell as the incognito narrator “Gossip Girl” and Meester as the iconic Blair Waldorf — during a charming skit that brought plenty of laughs and good-natured ribbing. Hosted by Bell herself at Los Angeles’ Shrine Arena, the two traded cheeky banter while introducing the nominees for the outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture category, which saw the film “Conclave” claim the coveted award. Bell kicked things off by whispering fake celebrity gossip, hilariously pointing out Jeff Goldblum’s “wicked appetite.” Because what’s more scandalous than Goldblum’s dinner choices?
As they melted nostalgia into comedy, Bell chided Meester about their gossip being more about food than drama: “Wait, Leighton, none of this is gossip. It’s all food.” Meester’s playful reply, complete with a mouthful of dinner roll, added to the fun. Clearly, the former co-stars still have that chemistry.
And guess what? This isn’t just a one-off reunion. Meester is set to join the second season of Netflix’s hit comedy “Nobody Wants This,” which stars her real-life husband Adam Brody. Talk about keeping it all in the family! Recently, Meester couldn’t help but dish out compliments about Brody’s role as the “hot rabbi,” proving that their love isn’t just a screen affair.
The SAG Awards weren’t just about laughs, though; the night also celebrated stellar performances. With winners like Timothée Chalamet and Zoe Saldaña lighting up the stage, it was a night of glamour, drama, and the occasional throwback to the golden days of teen drama.
Now, if only Gossip Girl were around to spill some real tea about the awards season’s hottest moments!
