“I’m not super OCD when it comes to every little flyaway,” Meester told PEOPLE. “I like being a little undone.” And while the 24-year-old star recently became global spokeswoman for hair care brand Herbal Essences, she wouldn’t hesitate to chop off her signature long locks if for the right role. “I know it’s just hair and I can change it however I want. I haven’t shaved my head or anything like that. But, you know if I needed to! It’s part of my job to change my hair.” For Meester, embracing change is part of her routine, admitting to “playing a part” when she’s on a red carpet. And she turns to her dream team, including makeup artist Chris Colbeck and hairstylist Charles Baker Strahan, to help create her image. “It’s all about individuality and making a big statement. I leave it to the pros, they’re artists. I’ll be like, ‘just do your thing.’”

I honestly love this song!

Gossip Girl’s resident queen bee, Leighton Meester has just nabbed a coveted new role–Herbal Essences global ambassador. “My first memory is those iconic [Herbal Essences] commercials back in the day. My mom used it, too,” she tells WWD of wanting to partner with the brand known for its cheeky ad campaign. And while her television alter-ego is known for her prim-and-proper style, the real-life fashion risk-taker says she’s not afraid to cut loose on the red carpet. “I try different looks and I’m happy that I can achieve them and not look like a clown. I like to have fun with hair and makeup,” Meester says. “I’m lucky because expressing my personal style is fun and I have fun with it. Everyone should love their own look. Don’t copy; do your own thing.”

Oh no, Little J. Looks like trouble is not stopping for Jenny (Taylor Momsen) on Gossip Girl. After the horrible virginity debacle this week, her luck doesn’t look to be improving. Agnes (Willa Holland) of the guerilla fashion show and clothes-burning fame is back, and it won’t surprise us if she has ties with Jenny’s drug-dealing and sexually frustrated ex Damien (Kevin Zegers). That partnership is scary, seriously.

This will come to a head on Eleanor’s (Margaret Colin) very important fashion show, for which she is putting daughter Blair (Leighton Meester) in charge.
