It’s Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester… from waaay back in the day.
This is a studio (NBC) photo from 2005. Unlike some of her costars on the show, Leighton has been working in film and television for a number of years. By 2005, she had made guest appearances on Veronica Mars (where she likely met Gossip Girl cast mate Kristen Bell), 8 Simple Rules and 24.
An interesting tidbit worth noting is that Leighton’s hair is brown in this photo. There have been rumors circulating on the internet that Leighton is a natural blonde but dyed her hair brunette solely to audition for the role of Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. Natural blonde or not, she clearly wasn’t blonde a few years before the audition!

I prefer her as a brunette, definitely.

[...] 3, Lindsay Lohan was originally slated to star as Blair Waldorf in a Gossip Girl movie before the project was shelved in favor of a Gossip Girl television series on the CW. Like Lindsay, the actress who ended up playing Blair (Leighton Meester) was not a natural brunette. [...]
