Meester may have swanned into our consciousness as the breakout star of Gossip Girl, but as the show stares down what may be its final season, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the 26-year-old actress is both of the Gossip Girl brand—really, its irreplaceable center—and also something beyond it. Her movie roles don’t look anything like Blair Waldorf, whom The New Yorker’s ever-astute Janet Malcolm called “an anti-heroine of the first rank: bad-tempered, mean-spirited, bulimic, acquisitive, endlessly scheming, and, of course, dark-haired.” It’s a testament to Meester’s range that she’s already played a Southern beauty queen-turned-country singer alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in Country Strong and costars as a beleaguered bride-to-be who bellows things like “Throw it, you big vagina!” in this summer’s That’s My Boy alongside Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. Seriously: a Sandler movie. How does that work exactly? Meester’s preternatural poise doesn’t seem a natural match for gross-out comedies targeting adolescent boys of all ages.

“I have been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph,” Kristen Stewart tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Ingrid Sischy in July’s cover story. “I get some serious shit about it. I’m not embarrassed about it. I’m proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think, What an actress! What a faker! That thought embarrasses me so much that I look like shit in half my photos, and I don’t give a fuck. What matters to me is that the people in the room leave and say, ‘She was cool. She had a good time. She was honest.’ I don’t care about the voracious, starving shit eaters who want to turn truth into shit. Not that you can say that in Vanity Fair!”
