Leighton Meester Just Proved This Trend Will *Not* Be Expiring in 2024

This time of year, everyone is offering their predictions about 2024 fashion trends. My fellow Who What Wear colleagues, for instance, have weighed in with their own opinions on what will and won't make it to the New Year. Everything is certainly subjective, but I have a strong feeling that Leighton Meester's newest look just proved that one trend has major staying power: rosettes.
Photographed on the red carpet at a holiday party for Freevee and Amazon Prime, Meester wore Silvia Tcherassi's Daniela Gown ($1020), complete with a stunning 3D floral appliqué front and center. We've been talking about the rosette trend all year long—remember Zendaya's rose-festooned dress at the SAG Awards back in February? Meester's fantastic interpretation of the trend has proved that rosettes will not be expiring in 2024. Scroll down to see her new look and shop the trend for yourself.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
