Leighton Meester Turns Heads with Sultry Red Locks at SAG Awards, Prepping for New Role with Adam Brody
Leighton Meester has officially dipped her toes into the vibrant world of auburn hair—specifically, a fiery red! The former ‘Gossip Girl’ star flaunted her new mermaid waves at the 2025 SAG Awards, and let me tell you, those curls were the talk of the night! Sporting a breathtaking strapless cut-out gown from Elie Saab, paired with a cute necktie and elegant pearl earrings, Meester looked absolutely exquisite. Meanwhile, her husband, Adam Brody, kept it classy in a brown Prada suit that all but screamed “relationship goals.” The couple, who have been married for a decade and parents to two adorable kids, also made the most out of their rare date night, showing off their playful chemistry on the red carpet.
The excitement didn’t stop there; it was just announced that Meester will be joining Brody in Netflix’s hit show, “Nobody Wants This.” According to Variety, she’ll step into the shoes of Abby, the middle school nemesis of Kristen Bell’s character, Joanne—a now-famous “Instagram mommy influencer.” This casting feels like a full-circle moment, as the two have shared the screen multiple times before, including the 2023 film “River Wild” and Brody’s appearance in Meester’s ABC sitcom, “Single Parents.”
Now, let’s talk about that kiss between Brody and Bell—good luck with the jealousy card, because it sounds like Meester is on board. She described their on-screen moment as “great,” hinting that she’s all about supporting her husband’s career. “She gets the good stuff,” Brody joked, letting us in on their adorable rapport. Neither Bell nor Brody took home awards at the ceremony, with Brody losing out to Martin Short and Bell being edged out by Jean Smart, but it’s clear that their off-screen camaraderie is a win in itself.
In the world of Hollywood, where power couples often reign supreme, Meester and Brody’s blend of professional and personal lives is genuinely refreshing. Their continued collaboration is definitely one we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for—because seriously, can they get any cuter?
