A handful of female stars at the glamorous red carpet event decided to make a bold, dramatic statement by opting to wear vampy dark lipstick.

Leading the flock were actresses Camilla Belle, who paired her sexy, cleavage-baring gown with a glossy chocolate brown lipstick, and Kate Bosworth, who matched her ombre Prada mini dress with a dark plum shade.

Are LEIGHTON MEESTER and “Austin Powers in Goldmember” star AARON HIMELSTEIN dating?

Leighton Meester was just spotted with a new cutie, Aaron Himelstein, at the romantic lands of Rio de Janerio in Brazil on Friday. Star news reports that the brunette “Gossip Girl” star, who just turned 26 just last Thursday, had visited the famous Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio with Himelstein‘s hand locked into hers.

LEIGHTON MEESTER, Marie Claire’s April 2012 cover girl, has a confession to make:

“I’m not sure I ever want to get married.”

Meester’s ”Gossip Girl” alter ego, Blair Waldorf, has always wanted to marry a prince, and now she has. But the actress herself has no plans to get married—prince or no prince.

The brunette beauty tells Marie Claire:

LEIGHTON MEESTER was forced to become a brunette for “Gossip Girl,” according to the latest entertainment news. Because Leighton was actually a blonde (a natural blonde, mind you)… before she became Blair Waldorf, the sassy Queen Bee of the Upper East Side (who is now the Princess of Monaco, BTW).

Before “Gossip Girl,” Leighton was relatively unknown, appearing in B-movies or guest starring on various TV shows. But when she ditched her blonde hair and landed the role of Blair Waldorf, she became one of the hottest television stars in Hollywood.

LEIGHTON MEESTER‘s mom has dropped the lawsuit she filed for parental support against her daughter five months ago, Hollywood news has learned.

The “Gossip Girl” star’s mother, Constance, earlier filed a counter-suit in July after Leighton sued her for using all the money she sent for her sick brother’s medical bills towards plastic surgery, Botox treatments, and hair extensions. Constance, who gave birth to Leighton while in federal prison serving time for drug smuggling, contended that her daughter owed her for years of acting lessons and countless sacrifices to further her Hollywood career. And now she’s dropped her suit…

LEIGHTON MEESTER looked absolutely adorable in the ruffled white dress she wore to the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show on Friday.

Doesn’t she look cute?

Leighton was totally rocking the cutesy, girlish look at Paris Fashion Week. She donned a white, off-shoulder Christian Dior dress with ruffles and a fluffy tiered skirt, which she paired with black patent Louis Vuitton pumps. The “Gossip Girl” star accessorized the outfit with a black Christian Dior shoulder bag and a few pieces of simple jewelry (also by Dior).
