Fading Beauty Birthday… LEIGHTON MEESTER

Okay, so her beauty isn't fading just yet but if any of you were fortunate enough to see the issue of Harper's Bazaar from 8 months ago, you got to see a digitally aged picture of Leighton, made to look 40 years older. (The artists were too kind, if you ask me.)

She was brave enough to okay it and was quoted as saying, "Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity, because what comes with age is so many wonderful things: wisdom, understanding. ... Every year, I'm always happy to be done with the previous age."

Leighton turns 24 today.
