"   Look at our new cover star - isn&amp;#039;t she gorgeous? Ever since Leighton Meester stormed in to our lives as spoilt little rich girl, Blair Waldorf on the hit show Gossip Girl, we&amp;#039;ve had a complete utter girl crush. So you can imagine our excitement to have her as our October cover star - cue huge shrieks at Cosmo HQ. In the issue, Leighton shares her secrets on fashion, men and, sob, the end of Gossip Girl. GET A SNEAK PEEK OF THE OCTOBER ISSUE OF COSMO! Talking of fashion, speaking exclusively to Cosmo, our gorge October cover girl reveals: &amp;quot;I love British fashion. In New York, everyone wears black but they&amp;#039;re more dressed down. In London, people wear spiked heels or leather jackets or denim in a cool way. It&amp;#039;s different. There&amp;#039;s an edgy, sexy vibe going on.&amp;quot; Leighton also talks about the differences between herself and Blair in the wardrobe department::  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never seen Blair with the same bag, coat or shoes twice. I don&amp;#039;t know anyone who had that. I had two pairs of jeans [when I was a teenager] that I rotated. I wouldn&amp;#039;t trust myself with a Prada bag! I didn&amp;#039;t even want to change for the gym so I&amp;#039;d wear sweatpants over my jeans, then sweat around the track for an hour.&amp;quot; WATCH LEIGHTON ON HER COSMO COVER SHOOT And for you hardcore Gossip Girl fans, Leighton also talks the end of Gossip Girl too (sob, pass us the tissues!): &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s good that we&amp;#039;re going out on a high note, but I&amp;#039;m ready to move on. It&amp;#039;ll probably be a challenge, for a time, to fight against that character \u2013 I won&amp;#039;t play an overprivileged girl any time soon! But I&amp;#039;ll never forget Gossip Girl.&amp;quot;  CHECK OUT LEIGHTON&amp;#039;S STYLE CV *Sigh* Could we heart Leighton any more? We think not.
