Redeem now - Leighton Meester has debuted platinum blonde hair on Instagram.
- The shade looks perfect on her, though she arguably looks more like Serena van der Woodsen than Blair Waldorf.
- Meester is actually a natural blonde, and dyed her hair brown to help get the part in "Gossip Girl."
Everyone's favorite Upper East Side queen bee Blair Waldorf may be known for her dark brown locks on "Gossip Girl," but the actress behind the role is going back to her roots.
Leighton Meester recently posted a photo of her newly platinum blonde hair, and she's now looking much more like Blake Lively's character Serena van der Woodsen than her own.
The actress went to the Nexxus New York Salon for the new dye job, and her talented colorist Aura also gave her followers a peek at the new look.
Meester shared some photos of the process on her Instagram story.
Her new color looks perfect on her, which is probably due to the fact that Meester's natural hair color is actually a lovely shade of dark blonde.
One of the co-creators of "Gossip Girl" previously told Vanity Fair that Meester almost lost the role due to her blonde locks, but Meester promptly dyed it to secure her spot.
It just goes to show that sometimes drastic hair transformations can majorly pay off.
